What is gender dysphoria

Gender dysphoria is a condition in which a person experiences discomfort or distress because there is a mismatch between their gender identity and their sex assigned at birth. Symptoms of gender dysphoria can include a strong desire to live as a member of the opposite gender, anxiety, depression and distress related to the incongruence between one's experienced and assigned gender. People with gender dysphoria may also experience difficulty functioning in their day-to-day lives as a result of their dysphoria. Update (2023-02-02): Gender dysphoria is a condition involving a conflict between a person's physical or assigned gender and the gender with which they identify.

Symptoms may include a strong desire to be of a different gender, a strong dislike of one's own sexual organs, depression or anxiety, and a strong desire to be treated in a different way.
