Gender dysphoria is when someone has a hard time accepting their biological gender makeup and their social gender makeup- when someone believes both don’t fit.
When your friend experiences gender dysphoria, you might not understand exactly what they’re going through if you’re a cisgender person. That’s totally okay—you can still support them, and you can take steps to educate yourself about their experience as you go. Gender dysphoria refers to a feeling of distress when a person’s gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. Not all trans or nonbinary people experience gender dysphoria, but if your friend is struggling, you can make a positive difference in their life.
Use their correct name and pronouns, and for some reason something that my friends did that helped me is randomly say some days “you look really masculine today!” or something like that. Gender dysphoria is hard feeling to understand if you don’t experience it, so I suggest asking your friend if there’s anything you can do to help and be there for them
