Variations in Gender Dysphoria
Cassandra has made a useful infographic that can be used to understand the nuances of gender dysphoria. It helps gender variant people understand that there are several sides to dysphoria, and that each and every one of them may vary in strength.
The infographic was originally inspired by this article by Darah Hoofman-Fox.
