Researchers describe reason for rapid development of gender dysphoria
Aug 23 2018
For individuals with gender dysphoria, the conflict between experienced gender identity and sex observed at birth produces significant emotional distress.
Until recently, it was unusual for a teen to report initial feelings of gender dysphoria during or after puberty without childhood symptoms. Clinicians have reported that this kind of gender dysphoria is on the rise, particularly for patients whose sex was observed to be female at birth. Additionally, the numbers of adolescents seeking care for gender dysphoria has increased dramatically. It is unknown why these changes are occurring.
