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. Use this particular term for works about adolescents (people between the ages of childhood and adulthood) who experience or have experience gender dysphoria.
