Gender dysphoria

Gender dysphoria refers to the discomfort or distress a person may experience when there is a discrepancy between their biological sex and their gender identity. This feeling of unease can be quite profound, potentially resulting in depression and anxiety, and may negatively affect everyday life. Gender identity is about how individuals perceive themselves and how they choose to define their own identity. While many people identify as either "male" or "female," these are often referred to as "binary" identities.
