About gender dysphoria
Gender dysphoria is distress arising from the mismatch between one's gender identity and aspects of one's body, social role, and lived experience that are tied to one's assigned sex. The term replaced the previous diagnostic label of gender identity disorder (GID) in 2013 with the release of the diagnostic manual DSM-5. The condition was renamed to remove the stigma associated with the term disorder. The ICD-11, which does not consider it a mental disorder, uses the term gender incongruence (GI) instead of gender dysphoria, defined as a marked and persistent mismatch between gender identity and assigned sex, regardless of distress or impairment.
