Gender Dysphoria, or Gender Identity Disorder (GID) can be defined as a feeling of incongruence between the external gender of one’s body and that related to internally. Quite simply it is when someone feels that they belong to the wrong gender.
Although mild in many people, a small proportion may have a strong identification for the opposite gender. Someone who experiences such a significant and psychologically dysphoria may wish to permanently alter their gender identifying characteristics to match how they feel. So a boy may feel that he is a girl trapped in a boy’s body or vice versa. These people are known as transsexual.
