I just can't get this out of my head and I'm so disappointed in people. Gender is more then just body parts. If we lived in a world where everyone had the same body would gender still exist? When I first started questioning my gender it had nothing to do with my body. It was how I felt and that fact that my behaviour and characteristics didn't fit within what makes up a Female. I don't always behave like a typical female and those behavioural characteristics could be considered more masculine, so I didn't feel like I was comfortable identifying as Female. I feel like more people need to realise that your sex is biological but your gender identity is so much more then that. 

I know someone who is non binary and more specifically they are androgyny. This means that they identify in between two genders and in their case they identify in between male and female. They themselves do not experience body dysphoria. How could they have a body that fits in with their gender? How do you have a body that is in between two genders? Then you have people who don't feel like they have a gender, so does that mean that to be able to identify as that they would have to want to have no body parts that connotes to a certain gender? I don't believe that to be correct 100% of the time. Of course body dysphoria is common in transgender/non binary people, but I don't believe it to be completely necessary. 

Also I see a lot of people saying that if you post photos of yourself then you can't have dysphoria because you're comfortable to post that photo.  Posting a photo has nothing to do with gender and if that person has taken a photo and feels confident enough to post it on social media we should be celebrating that. No one should ever look at a photo of someone and tell them how they should and should not identify based on what is in that photo. People need to stop getting in other people's business because it has nothing to do with them. All it does is further divide a community and spread hate. Just let people get on with their lives and feel happy and comfortable in their own skin.
