What will be an ideal response?


Gender dysphoria is a new diagnosis in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5 (DSM-5), the American Psychiatric Association's (APA's) classification and diagnostic tool, whereby the emphasis for the diagnosis is on the individual's felt sense of incongruence with natal gender, rather than cross-gender behavior. It is a category that describes a condition in which someone is intensely uncomfortable and distressed with his or her biological gender and strongly identifies with, and wants to be, the other gender.
