Gender Dysphoria
Gender dysphoria refers to psychological distress that results from a difference between one’s sex assigned at birth and one’s gender identity. It often begins in childhood, but some people may not experience it until after puberty or much later.
Transgender people are individuals whose sex assigned at birth does not match their gender identity. Some transgender people experience gender dysphoria, and they may or may not change the way they dress or look to align with their felt gender.
