Born wrong body: Gender identity disorder is when one feels as if they have been born the wrong gender. There is an aversion to the body parts that represent their birth gender as well as an overall identification with the opposite sex - regardless of sexual orientation. People with gid typically feel this way from early childhood but it may get worse in adolescence as secondary sex traits appear.
