WHAT DOES GENDER DYSPHORIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gender identity disorder

Gender identity disorder or gender dysphoria is the formal diagnosis used by psychologists and physicians to describe people who experience significant dysphoria with the sex they were assigned at birth and/or the gender roles associated with that sex. Evidence suggests that people who identify with a gender different than the one they were assigned at birth may do so not just due to psychological or behavioral causes, but also biological ones related to their genetics, the makeup of their brains, or prenatal exposure to hormones. Estimates of the prevalence of gender identity disorder range from a lower bound of 1:2000 in the Netherlands and Belgium to 0.5% in Massachusetts to 1.2% in New Zealand. Research indicates people who transition in adulthood are up to three times more likely to be male assigned at birth, but that among people transitioning in childhood the sex ratio is close to 1:1. Gender identity disorder is classified as a medical disorder by the ICD-10 CM and DSM-5.
