What is gender dysphoria?

Gender dysphoria is a general symptom of distress typically experienced by transsexual people. There are two kinds of dysphoria, physical and social. Physical dysphoria is the discomfort they feel because their body feels wrong and doesn't match their gender identity. Social dysphoria is experienced when society (family, friends, others) doesn't treat them in a manner consistent with their gender identity.

Contrary to popular belief, gender dysphoria is not a mental disorder. As I described above it is a symptom of distress, That symptom is directly related to being born transsexual, that is with a gender identity in the brain that doesn't match the sex of the body. Researchers and scientists have established that transsexualism is a physical birth condition. So transsexualism is the birth condition and gender dysphoria is a symptom of it.

In addition the American Psychiatric Associations bible is called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). The DSM is split into two halves, mental disorders in one half and symptoms of distress in the other. Gender dysphoria is in the latter. Years ago transsexualism was categorized as a mental disorder, but like homosexuality before it, it was removed once the medical research proved that categorization was in error. Hence transsexualism is a physical birth condition and gender dysphoria is merely a symptom of that.

Once a transsexual person medically transition to living in a manner consistent with their gender identity, the gender dysphoria they experience is dramatically reduced or even eliminated.

A psychologically diagnosed mental disorder that cause one's emotional and psychological identity as male or female to be opposite to one's biological sex.

A delusion where people think their sex doesn't match their gender identity. People with gender dysphoria think if they get an expensive, incomplete sex change, they will fit in society. Only hermaphrodites can truly change their sex though, and hermaphrodite animals are extremely rare. Only ones I can think of are clown fish, worms, some insects, a small handful of reptiles, and maybe a couple other fish. Sure nature can be strange, heck apparently male sea horses are the ones who give birth not females. That said, humans are not sea horses, and there's very few hermaphrodite humans (only about 1% of the human population.) My main point is trannies (the most common form of people with gender dysphoria) are stubborn, overly sensitive freaks of nature.

Gender dysphoria is an endocrine and neurological condition where the body is producing the wrong steroid hormones for the healthy functioning of the brain. This leads to a variety of mental health issues which can be corrected by addressing the imbalance medically, surgically and socially.
