Gender Dysphoria: Refers to the distress caused by a discrepancy between a person’s gender identity and sex assigned at birth
As well as the associated gender role and/or primary/secondary sex characteristics (Fisk, 1974; Kudson, DeCuypere

Some individuals may experience gender dysphoria at such a level that the distress caused meets the criteria for formal diagnosis
![Page 7: What do you need to know??](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cd9b1b1ed25871ac1bd185/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
DSM IV Criteria:
1. A strong and persistent cross-gender identification
2. Feelings not concurrent with a physical intersex condition
3. Feelings causing clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning
4. Persistent discomfort with his or her sex or sense of inappropriateness in the gender role of that sex
A disorder is a description of something with which a person struggles with, NOT the person’s identity
