Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to DSM-5, a diagnosis of gender dysphoria is only warranted if an individual experiences distress or impairment in functioning as a result of their gender identity. As Tyler is reported to have undergone successful and satisfactory sex reassignment surgery, there is no indication of distress or impairment, and therefore he should not be diagnosed with gender dysphoria or any other related disorder.
