Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rashid is experiencing a mismatch between his biological sex (male) and his gender identity (which he feels should be female). This is a characteristic of gender identity disorder (GID). While the term "GID" is no longer used in the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the concept of gender dysphoria is still recognized as a legitimate diagnosis for individuals who experience distress or impairment due to their gender identity. The other options listed (A-C) are not recognized as official disorders or diagnostic categories.
