god this question has been haunting me. I identify as male, but there are some days when I..don't feel as male. And I get depressed. So I wonder if that's dysphoria, or if it's me being genderfluid and just unhappy about it? I'm not sure if it can work like that :/

It definitely depends on how you feel. If you are feeling more feminine or something, maybe try dressing a bit girlier or just generally be more feminine and see if that helps. Obviously I'm no expert but just mess around with it a bit, might help

it's not really that....when I feel less masculine, I don't WANT to present as feminine. That, if anything, makes it worse, because when I don't feel male, I feel sick. Depressed and just blah and practically pining for days when I do feel like a guy again.

Sounds more like dysphoria then.

I feel like this occasionally. Like, where I don't want to bind, and that feels terrible, but the idea of not binding is worse? And so on. I've always put it down as dysphoria, so... Perhaps that's it for you?

yeah, good to know I'm not the only one <3
it probably is just dysphoria then. I've never had very strong dysphoria so I'm never sure when I'm experiencing it or not :/

Yeahh, I understand. Mine comes and goes, sometimes its very mild, sometimes its panic inducing, but I've found the best way to handle it is to distract myself much as I can.

I go through periods where I feel like I'm not male and it causes me intense doubtand distress about my gender identity (ftm). I didn't realise this could be a form of dysphoria?
