Is there body dysphoria?
It is important to distinguish between body dysmorphia and dysphoria. Dysmorphia is seeing your body as something other than it is (i.e., someone thinking they are overweight when they are a healthy weight), which dysphoria is disliking your body or feeling that something about it is “wrong.” Both are experiences common to transgender people and people with eating disorders, but they are very much different and should be labeled as such.

A lot of homeworld gems also make fun of stevens appearance because they still think he's Rose/Pink in a disguise. He is dressed in feminine clothes when he’s captured by the diamonds
