5. Not The Same Thing As Being Gay
People often incorrectly associate gender dysphoria with sexual orientation. But gender identity does not necessarily correlate with sexual preference. For example, a trans man can be attracted to men and still experience the condition. This is because gender dysphoria is the feeling of being trapped in a body that isn’t the same as the gender you identity with. Because it can exist in any relationship, gay or straight, it’s important for people experiencing this condition form relationships that affirm their gender identity. Also, finding a partner that is sensitive to their feelings about their bodies.
