no? i mean before I had gender dysphoria, I still didn't feel like a girl. Like I was okay with being female at the time, I just didn't like the standards of being a woman, so I just decided to screw it and define as demi girl a while. That isn't really dysphoria, that's just disagreeing a lil.

Not at all. Trans should not be about hating yourself.

I don't know what enby has to do with this but to me trans means you want to change something about yourself - aka you want to transition. Whether that is because you dislike what you currently look like/are perceived as (aka dysphoria) or because you just like another look/perception better (aka euphoria) is irrelevant. The changing is the important bit. You can be a different gender than your assigned sex and not be trans if you don't want to change anything or after you have changed all you wanted to change, for example.

Gender dysphoria’s definition is a sense of unease that a person may have because of a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity, therefore you can identify as an enby/trans but not have gender dysphoria, so no

I would say that it is often the case but not always, and if it is a mental illness then the cure is transitioning. Basically, some people are trans with pout having dysphoria.

The way you phrase it makes it sound like you MUST HAVE gender dysphoria to be trans/enby. I personally disagree, I feel your gender is what you feel yourself as and not that your gender is because you hate your assigned gender.

Ik, that's precisely why I worded it that way. I like to write a direct prompt (whether it is my stance on the matter or not) that is easy to answer
