# '''Some form of dysphoria is necessary to be trans'''- most transmedicalists believe that some form of dysphoria is necessary to be transgender. Some believe that it's only necessary to have one or a few forms, and some believe it's necessary to have all forms, while still others believe that it's necessary to have them at an intense level. This stems from the belief that being transgender is a medical condition and that "trans brains" are different than "cis brains", though there's no significant evidence of that being the case.

Many transmedicalists believe that gender dysphoria is the cause of being trans, and not that being trans is the cause of gender dysphoria. |
