Gender dysphoria test
Gender dysphoria can be understood as a profound sense of distress and unease arising from the disparity between one's gender identity - the gender with which they identify - and the sex they were assigned at birth. This condition, previously termed "gender identity disorder" until 1994 by the American Psychological Association, often finds prevalence among transgender individuals who have transitioned in adulthood.
Identifying Symptoms of Gender Dysphoria
The defining attribute that separates gender nonconformity (which is not a mental health condition) from gender dysphoria lies in the individual's level of distress. Specifically, this distress arises from the incongruence between the individual's physical sexual traits and the gender they identify with.
Several factors may contribute to the onset of gender dysphoria, including enduring feelings of loneliness, isolation, lack of acceptance from family and society, and experiences of bias and discrimination.
