Gender Dysphoria
Gender dysphoria is a psychological condition in which an individual experiences significant distress or discomfort due to a misalignment between their gender identity and their assigned sex at birth. Gender identity refers to a person's deeply felt sense of their own gender, whether it is male, female, a blend of both, or neither (non-binary or genderqueer).
People who experience gender dysphoria often feel that their gender identity does not match their physical characteristics and the societal expectations associated with their assigned sex. This disconnect can lead to emotional and psychological distress. It's important to note that not all individuals who are transgender or gender-diverse experience gender dysphoria, and some may not experience it at all
