Being transgender is not a mental disorder or illness, but rather a natural variation of human diversity. Everyone has the right to express their gender identity in a way that is authentic and comfortable for them.
Gender dysphoria is a condition in which a person experiences distress, anxiety, and/or discomfort due to a discrepancy between their gender identity and the sex they were assigned at birth. This can include feeling like one’s body does not match one’s gender identity, feeling disconnected from one’s body, or feeling that one’s gender identity is not accepted or respected by others. People with gender dysphoria may experience a range of emotions, including depression, anxiety, and anger. They may also experience physical symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, and changes in appetite. Treatment for gender dysphoria may include counseling, hormone therapy, and other medical interventions.
