    Glossary Gender Dysphoria

    feeling distress due to a mismatch between gender identity and assigned sex

    Gender Dysphoria is a psychological condition where an individual experiences significant distress or discomfort because their gender identity does not align with their assigned sex at birth. This condition, also known as gender incongruence, can lead to emotional and mental health challenges, and often requires a combination of psychological support, social transition, and sometimes medical interventions to alleviate the distress.
