Rationale: The client reports being uncomfortable with his assigned gender as a male, he has gender dysphoria. Androgyny is flexibility in gender roles. Although he has dressed in women's clothing, cross-dressing does not address being uncomfortable as a male. The client does not discuss fetishism, which is sexualization of a body part or object.
