For transgender people, there are two types of dysphoria. Gender and Body dysphoria, and they are not necessarily present in each person, though the first can come as a result of the second. Body dysphoria is when a person strongly feels that they were assigned the wrong birth sex. For these people, going through puberty as the sex they don't believe themselves to be internally can be extremely damaging to their mental state, and in extreme cases consider suicide as the preferable option to having to live with a body they consider disgusting. For these types, sex-reassignment surgery is by definition medically necessary for them to live a normal life. Gender dysphoria is when one believes they are living in the wrong gender role that society has assigned to them as a result of their birth sex, and naturally stems from someone with body dysphoria, but not necessarily so. Even a person with body dysphoria might reject the notion of being required to perform in a masculine or feminine manner, regardless of their present physical sex.
