What is gender dysphoria?

Unhappiness : Not being happy if they are a boy being a boy and if a girl wishing they were a boy instead.

A Big Mismatch: Gender dysphoria is a psychological term refering to the distress & unhappiness felt by individuals whose gender as assigned when they were born does not match the gender they identify as - that is, the gender they feel themselves to be. The american psychiatric association defines gd as emotional distress over “a marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender.”.

Gender Dysphoria: Greetings! The best thing to do is to speak to a mental health care provider like a psychiatrist or psychologist. They can offer counseling to help you work through your feelings. I hope this helps, Dr.M
