I was just wondering what this animo generally thinks. The internet seems to be pretty divided about this. I personally don’t think that you need dysphoria to be Non-binary, but if you don’t agree with that, than that’s ok too. Just please don’t attack anybody with different opinions.

I you need dysphoria to be transgender, but not non-binary to my understanding.

Can you explain to me how identifying as non-binary helps to alleviate your dysphoria? I’m genuinely trying to understand where you’re coming from

Well, it isn’t identifying as a trans male that alleviates my dysphoria but how I, as a trans male, receive medical care to 𝓽𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓼𝓲𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 into a male. How do you transition into non-binary though?

You don't need dysphoria. Its just a medical criteria set up by health care professionals to qualify for accessing medical-transition intervention. Read up what are "radical trans-medicalist" and the profanely known word "truscum". You'll be surprised to find there is transphobia within the trans community done by own fellow trans member a.k.a. "trans gatekeeping"

So far, the non-binary people whom I met are more non-dysphoric than a binary trans person because they celebrate and embrace both their feminity and masculinity unlike the other group of non-binary who see a void in the concept of gender (philosophy wise).

What about people who don’t feel dysphoria, but do feel euphoria when regarded as non-binary? People who feel way better when being called ‘they’?

I personally know that being trans isn’t a choice, almost no part of your identity is. But I was just wondering, what if I do feel euphoria, but no dysphoria?

Yes you absolutely need dysphoria. Dysphoria comes in many different forms and a lot of people don't really understand that. It may be the reason so many are confused.

You need dysphoria to be trans regardless.
