Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strong desires to be the opposite gender and discomfort with one's assigned gender are symptoms of gender dysphoria, a recognized medical condition characterized by a marked difference between a person's gender identity and their assigned gender. While "transgender identity disorder" and "transsexual identity disorder" were once used to describe this condition, they are outdated terms that have been replaced with "gender dysphoria." "Abnormal identity disorder" is not a recognized term.
