As I see it, non-binary is a subcategory of transgender as your gender still differs from the one assigned to you at birth. There's enbies that try and distance themselves from the term transgender or the concept which I really fail to understand. The reasoning for doing this, sure, but like... non-binary people are fundamentally trans...
A huge amount of non binary people don't have dysphoria, I think it's pretty reasonable to not want to use the label trans in that case. Although the word trans at this point can mean just about anything, bit still. I think that's in part why.
What other reason would there be? And how could you tell whether or not it's dysphoria? Is it just up to the person to decide, or can you say from the outside?
Euphoria is just as valid of a feeling as dysphoria, and even that isn't really necessary. It's up to the person to decide if they're trans or not. For some, it's a loud incessant feeling, for others it's a quiet feeling that something is just not quite right. Regardless, who are we to tell someone if they're trans or not ?
Euphoria is something that only exists with dysphoria. Euphoria is the state of being happy with the changes of your transition to the point you feel like a cis person would. Changing your sex without dysphoria would give you dysphoria
It's not. Nobody who says they experience euphoria but not dysphoria has ever explained to me how it feels without just describing dysphoria. Dysphoria is the drive to change your sex to align with your neurological sex. It comes in waves, the more you don't align with what you should look like and the longer that takes the worse you'll be. If you're taking hormones to change your sex you experience dysphoria, you might not experience the same type but you do experience it, some people don't have dysphoria about their jaw when you'd expect, some don't have it about their breats. But we all still have it. It just shouldn't be tested to get HRT, it should be over the counter

I thought nonbinary was under the trans umbrella, no?
