A diagnosis of gender identity disorder requires evidence of a strong and persistent cross-gender identification in which one expresses the desire to be, or the insistence to be, of the opposite sex. Disdain for the behavior of one's sex, attraction to the same sex, or aversion for activities typical of the one's sex does not necessarily constitute gender identity disorder.
