5 Hormonal Signs
There are many potential causes for gender dysphoria, which can include genetic differences, lifestyle factors, psychological factors and more.
But in some cases, the dysphoria might be caused at least partly by physical differences – someone who is biologically male in terms of their genitalia, may nevertheless appear to act or look female in other senses.
For example, a boy who produces excess amounts of estrogen will likely have increased water retention, potentially gynecomastia (breast formation), more feminine features, and more feminine emotions. It can even affect the development of the brain.
With that in mind, you might notice that someone genuinely does appear to be in the wrong body, and this can correlate with an increased likelihood of dysphoria.
