Gender dysphoria is a psychological condition where a person experiences significant discomfort or distress due to a mismatch between their assigned gender at birth and their experienced or expressed gender. This feeling can lead to anxiety, depression, and a strong desire to transition to the gender with which they identify.
Individuals with gender dysphoria may seek various forms of support, including therapy, hormone therapy, or surgical interventions, to align their physical appearance with their gender identity. Understanding and acceptance from family, friends, and society can play a crucial role in alleviating the distress associated with this condition.
