As an element of personal identity, a gender is developed through the interaction of social roles and expectations, one’s response to those expectations, one’s physiology, and one’s internal sense of self.

This term is also used colloquially by individuals to describe the discomfort and distress they experience as a result of this incongruence. Though gender dysphoria is often associated with trans people, people of any identity may experience gender dysphoria when they do not feel “right” in their body or the way their gender is being expressed.’ [[sources/Homosaurus|(Homosaurus 2025, ‘Gender Dysphoria’)]] ^6b3178 **Trans.** ‘Umbrella term used to describe individuals who “trans” gender regardless of their identification; sometimes used as a way to historicize non-binary identities.’ [[sources/Homosaurus|(Homosaurus 2025, ‘Trans’)]] ^424b66
