Social vs Physical Dysphoria - Critical Differences Explained | Gender Dysphoria Types

Описание: Dr. Z explains the critical difference between social and physical dysphoria. Physical dysphoria is discomfort with your body—your chest, genitals, voice, facial hair, physicality. This is common in binary transgender individuals who strongly identify with the opposite end of the gender spectrum. If you have physical dysphoria, social dysphoria becomes inevitable because you exist around other humans who gender you based on your body. Social dysphoria is discomfort with how society sees you, genders you, and interacts with you. There's a pattern emerging: younger adults (ages 18-28) increasingly report feeling neutral about their bodies but deeply uncomfortable with how the world genders them. This is more common in non-binary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming individuals. The challenge is that social dysphoria can eventually lead to developing physical dysphoria when you realize society genders you based on specific body parts. Watch to understand why physical and social dysphoria are interconnected, the complex question about pursuing surgery for social dysphoria alone, and why younger generations are developing different relationships with gender than older adults.
