Of course, some NB people for example only want to get top surgery but no bottom surgery, or the other way around etc. Since gender is not a binary, ppl can be dysphoric bc they're not cis, but that doesn't mean they always have to completely be the ''opposite gender'' since there's so much outside of that and in between. And to add to the first sentence, not all trans/NB people always want to transition, transitioning does not equal being valid or not. I also don't really think 'what's valid' is for other people to decide bc it's so different for everyone and that doesn't make someone more or less valid!
But isn't dysphoria all about the way you feel about your body and your genitals are (feelings wrong about them)? So if, for example, a transgender women wanted to be seen as women physically, wouldn't make more sense for them to try to change their physical appereance? Asking this because it's kinda obvious to see who's trans and who isn't, depending on how they transition, when and if they use more cosmetic surgeries or so, and if you see a transgender woman who does not really pass well, it's easy to see them as male. And I think that would worsen dysphoria
i think the thing about being non binary is that u aren't 100% in the middle either, some NB people can lean more towards one gender than the other but still not want to label themselves as that gender..
i guess if you're a woman turning into NB, still yet not feeling like a male, you can just get rid of your boobs but like.. still be ok w ur genitalia???? bruh this is honestly 2 complex.
