Maybe dysphoria isn't a precondition to being trans, but I don't get how.

What I don't understand is then why transition? If you're fine as you are, why the hassle? Just as fashion/identity? Body modding for lulz? Nothing wrong with either but it's very removed from my XP.

I only transitioned because I needed to, to me GD is a curse treated with medication and surgeries I couldn't live without and that's basically all that being trans is to me. The identity of being trans is defined to me by dysphoria - mental torture associated with one's birth sex fixed by becoming the other, or as close as possible with current tech.

Also how does enby dysphoria work? Do you just feel dysphoric about a mix of male and female traits? That's wild if true.
