I don’t have much dysphoria but I had a LOT in 7th grade. But that’s probably because I’ve never really been a boy. When I was young, I was very gender non-conforming because I didn’t want to be masculine (but I didn’t understand it back then). Later on, I grew my hair out. When I looked in the mirror, a feminine face stared back. Sometimes I felt like it was a strangers face, but most of the time it was a feminine face. Because I saw myself as feminine, I never really felt dysphoria much. But, since you’re curious, the voice in the back of my head that screamed “YOU ARE NOT A BOY” got it's voice in first or second grade. I can’t pinpoint an exact time, because it started like those songs that “fade in;” quiet and slowly getting louder.

I don't really have dysphoria (at least obvious signs). I just know that I don't always want to be a girl. You can debate with me if in order to be trans binary or non binary, you need to experience gender dysphoria. I'm open to that debate.

Not everyone that’s trans/non-binary has dysphoria, it’s just common to have it

Yeah, same. I don’t have THAAAT much dysphoria, but it is definitely there. It’s not necessary for being trans, just common.

depends on what you call dysphoria, like when I was 4 sometimes I wanted to be a boy, but the real discomfort with my body and just the idea of being completely feminine started when I was 11

I count dysphoria as discomfort with your body not being in sync with your gender
