Assuming someone was happily cis, if they fall into a sex change trap it's obvious what happened, what's wrong, and what they need to fix to solve it and get "back to normal"
Fall into a gender change trap, you might not even notice what's wrong, initially. You might spend weeks, months, years feeling bad in your own skin and not understanding why, or what's wrong, or how to fix it.
Which is essentially the trans experience.
Gender change traps are a lot more insidious and evil than sex change ones, and I think we know this.
I bet trans people would self-select into the adventuring profession if sex change magic was a thing. Also, if permanent sex/gender change traps are a thing, there might be any number of cis adventurers who are dysphoric because they already ran into such a trap elsewhere ...
Walking into a room full of traps, feeling like a kaleidoscope of sexual horror, as the mad wizard across the room just scream laughs as your party breaks down, hugging and crying for the fourth time this hour.
If you didn't know, this is a reference to Tomb Of Horrors, an AD&D module where this is a real trap. It changes "gender" (in context it also means sex), and alignment to the opposite of the character.

if u changed their sex but not their gender wouldn't they have the same level of dysphoria just plus confusion?
assuming they're all cis

Cheaping out and buying only the gender or sex change traps instead of the combo, rookie mistake

I mean it's hardly a trap if it doesn't have some kind of negative effects.

You dont place both traps in the same place.

No, IMO.

Trans person here, i was confused for 13 years. Gender traps are the purest form of evil.

Then they should carry gender change potions as a cure. Every good adventurer knows that.

If they were already dysphoric, they wouldn’t be bc they match. If they weren't, they are meow.

The original purpose of sex-change traps was to induce dysphoria to cisgender characters.

How does it work with non binary / isogender gender configuration (including agender, multigender, etc) and with gender fluidity ?

That's inhumane, and these traps should be banned!

That'd be conversion therapy. You're still thinking of sex-change traps, missing the point.

Oh, you are completely right. I was thinking of the other comment chain.
