Definition och Betydelse av "gender dysphoria"

What is "gender dysphoria"?

Gender dysphoria is a condition where a person experiences discomfort or distress because there is a difference between their biological sex and gender identity. This might mean someone assigned male at birth identifies and feels more comfortable as a female, or vice versa. People with gender dysphoria may experience significant distress because of this contradiction, which can affect various aspects of their life. Treatment often involves therapy, hormone therapy, and sometimes gender-affirming surgeries to help individuals match their physical characteristics with their gender identity and ease distress.
