Gender Identity Disorder (GID)

Gender Identity Disorder (GID), now referred to as Gender Dysphoria, is a condition where a person feels significant distress or discomfort because their assigned gender at birth doesn’t match their true gender identity. This mismatch can cause emotional distress, anxiety, and difficulty functioning. People with gender dysphoria often experience a strong desire to transition to the gender they identify with, which may involve social, medical, or surgical changes. It is recognized as a medical condition that benefits from understanding, support, and appropriate treatment to improve quality of life.
