The United Nations health agency announced on Monday the condition, also known as gender dysphoria, has been reclassified as a sexual health condition. I know what's been very hard for their families is knowing that there's something available but it's not available here. Existing law requires that participation in a particular physical education activity or sport, if required of pupils of one sex, be available to pupils of each sex.

Gender dysphoria GD is the distress a person experiences as a result of the and they were. In this case, the assigned sex and gender do not match the person's , and the person is. Evidence from twin studies suggest that people who identify with a gender different from their assigned sex may experience such distress not only due to psychological or behavioral causes, but also biological ones related to their genetics or exposure to hormones before birth. Gender dysphoria Synonyms Gender identity disorder , , Symptoms Distress related to one's assigned gender or sex Eating disorders, suicide, depression, anxiety, social isolation Variance in gender identity or expression that is not distressing Treatment , Medication e. The diagnosis was reclassified to better align it with medical understanding of the condition and to remove the associated with the term disorder. The critical element of gender dysphoria is the presence of clinically significant distress associated with the condition. The main approaches to treatment for persons diagnosed with gender dysphoria are or supporting the individual's preferred gender through , gender expression and role, or surgery. Symptoms of GD in children may include any of the following: disgust at their own genitalia, from their peers, , loneliness and. According to the , transgender children are more likely to experience harassment and violence in school, foster care, residential treatment centers, homeless centers and juvenile justice programs than other children. Adults with GD are at increased risk for stress, isolation, anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem and suicide. Studies indicate that transgender people have an extremely high rate of suicide attempts; one study of 6,450 transgender people in the United States found 41% had attempted , compared to a national average of 1. It was also found that suicide attempts were less common among transgender people who said their family ties had remained strong after they came out, but even transgender people at comparatively low risk were still much more likely to have attempted suicide than the general population. Transgender people are also at heightened risk for certain such as. Gender dysphoria in those assigned male at birth tends to follow one of two broad trajectories: early-onset or late-onset. Early-onset gender dysphoria is behaviorally visible in childhood. Sometimes, early-onset gender dysphorics identify as gay for a period of time. This group is usually attracted to men in adulthood. Late-onset gender dysphoria does not include visible signs in early childhood, but some report having wishes to be female in childhood that they did not report to others. Those who experience late-onset gender dysphoria will often be attracted to women and frequently engage in transvestic behavior with sexual excitement. Main article: GID exists when a person suffers discontent due to gender identity, causing them emotional distress. Researchers disagree about the nature of distress and impairment in people with GID. Some authors have suggested that people with GID suffer because they are stigmatized and victimized; and that, if society had less strict gender divisions, transsexual people would suffer less. A twin study based on seven people in a 314 sample suggested that GID may be 62% heritable, indicating the possibility of a genetic influence or prenatal development as its origin, in these cases. The permits a diagnosis of gender dysphoria if the criteria in the DSM-5 are met. The DSM-5 moved this diagnosis out of the sexual disorders category and into a category of its own. The diagnosis was renamed from gender identity disorder to gender dysphoria, after criticisms that the former term was stigmatizing. Subtyping by sexual orientation was deleted. The creation of a specific diagnosis for children reflects the lesser ability of children to have insight into what they are experiencing, or ability to express it in the event that they have insight. Other specified gender dysphoria or unspecified gender dysphoria can be diagnosed if a person doesn't meet the criteria for gender dysphoria but still has clinically significant distress or impairment. Treatment for a person diagnosed with GID may include psychotherapy or to support the individual's preferred gender through hormone therapy, gender expression and role, or surgery. The goal of treatment may simply be to reduce problems resulting from the person's transgender status, for example, counseling the patient in order to reduce guilt associated with cross-dressing, or counseling a spouse to help them adjust to the patient's situation. Guidelines have been established to aid clinicians. The WPATH are used by some clinicians as treatment guidelines. Others use guidelines outlined in Gianna Israel and Donald Tarver's Transgender Care. Prepubescent children Main article: The question of whether to counsel young children to be happy with their assigned sex, or to encourage them to continue to exhibit behaviors that do not match their assigned sex—or to explore a transsexual transition—is controversial. Some clinicians report that a significant proportion of young children diagnosed with gender dysphoria later do not exhibit any dysphoria. Professionals who treat gender identity disorder in children have begun to refer and prescribe hormones, known as , to delay the onset of puberty until a child is believed to be old enough to make an informed decision on whether hormonal gender reassignment leading to surgical gender reassignment will be in that person's best interest. Psychological treatments Main article: Until the 1970s, psychotherapy was the primary treatment for gender dysphoria, and generally was directed to helping the person adjust to the gender of the physical characteristics present at birth. Psychotherapy is any therapeutic interaction that aims to treat a psychological problem. Though some clinicians still use only psychotherapy to treat gender dysphoria, it may now be used in addition to biological interventions. Psychotherapeutic treatment of GID involves helping the patient to adapt. Attempts to cure GID by changing the patient's gender identity to reflect birth characteristics have been ineffective. Biological treatments for GID without any form of psychotherapy is quite uncommon. Researchers have found that if individuals bypass psychotherapy in their GID treatment, they often feel lost and confused when their biological treatments are complete. Psychotherapy, hormone replacement therapy, and sex reassignment surgery together can be effective treating GID when the are followed. Estimated rates of those with a transgender identity range from a lower bound of 1:2000 or about 0. From a national survey of high-school students in , 8,500 randomly selected secondary school students from 91 randomly selected high schools found 1. These numbers are based on those who identify as transgender. It is estimated that about 0. Research indicates people who in adulthood are up to three times more likely to be male assigned at birth, but that among people transitioning in childhood the sex ratio is close to 1:1. The term gender identity disorder is an older term for the condition in the DSM. The APA uses the term gender dysphoria. In April 2011, the UK approved prescribing monthly injection of puberty-blocking drugs to youngsters from 12 years old, in order to enable them to get older before deciding on formal sex change. I know what's been very hard for their families is knowing that there's something available but it's not available here. The trial was deemed such a success that doctors have decided to make the drugs more widely available and to children as young as 9 years of age. As recently as 2009, national guidelines stated that treatment for gender dysphoria should not start until puberty had finished. The treatment is reversible, which means the body will resume its previous state upon discontinuation of drugs. Other expectations relate to approved and allowable behaviors and emotional expression. Some cultures have : man, woman, and effeminate man. For example, in , the , a group of feminine males, are entirely socially accepted. This suggests the distress so frequently associated with GID in a Western context is not caused by the disorder itself, but by difficulties encountered from social disapproval by one's culture. However, research has found that the anxiety associated with gender dysphoria persists in cultures, Eastern or otherwise, which are more accepting of gender nonconformity. In Australia, a 2014 High Court of Australia judgment unanimously ruled in favor of a plaintiff named , who asked to be classified by a third gender category, 'non-specific', after a long court battle with the NSW Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages. Homosexuality was removed from DSM-II in 1974. Fink, contend that the behaviors and experiences seen in transsexualism are abnormal and constitute a dysfunction. Individuals with gender dysphoria may or may not regard their own cross-gender feelings and behaviors as a disorder. Advantages and disadvantages exist to classifying gender dysphoria as a disorder. Without the classification of gender dysphoria as a medical disorder, sex reassignment therapy may be viewed as cosmetic treatment, rather than medically necessary treatment, and may not be covered. In the United States, transgender people are less likely than others to have health insurance, and often face hostility and insensitivity from healthcare providers. The DSM-IV-TR diagnostic component of distress is not inherent in the cross-gender identity; rather, it is related to social rejection and discrimination suffered by the individual. Psychology professor Darryl Hill insists that gender dysphoria is not a mental disorder, but rather that the diagnostic criteria reflect psychological distress in children that occurs when parents and others have trouble relating to their child's gender variance. Transgender people have often been harassed, socially excluded, and subjected to discrimination, abuse and violence, including murder. It is not a mental illness. Denmark made a similar statement in 2016. The working group responsible for this recategorization recommends keeping such a diagnosis in ICD-11 to preserve access to health services. Intimate relationships This section is missing information about relationships of trans people with male partners. Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the. December 2015 Intimate relationships between lesbians and female-to-male people with GID will sometimes endure throughout the transition process, or shift to becoming supportive friendships. Intimate relationships between heterosexual women and male-to-female people with GID often suffer once the GID is known or revealed. Researchers say the fate of the relationship seems to depend mainly on the woman's adaptability. Problems often arise, with the cisgender partner becoming increasingly angry or dissatisfied, if her partner's time spent in a female role grows, if her partner's libido decreases, or if her partner is angry and emotionally cut-off when in the male role. Cisgender women sometimes also worry about social stigma and may be uncomfortable with the bodily feminization of their partner as the partner moves through transition. The cisgender women who are likeliest to accept and accommodate their partner's transition, researchers say, are those with a low sex drive or those who are equally sexually attracted to men and women. Legislation Main article: In California, Assembly Bill AB No. Existing law requires that participation in a particular physical education activity or sport, if required of pupils of one sex, be available to pupils of each sex. This bill would require that a pupil be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs, activities, including athletic teams and competitions, and use facilities consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil's records. The California Catholic Conference opposed the bill as unnecessary, as laws already exist to fight discrimination against transgender students. A spokeswoman for the conference said that the issue should be handled by school officials. Retrieved December 24, 2016. International Journal of Transgenderism. Archived from PDF on August 2, 2014.
