Gender Dysphoria

Gender dysphoria is becoming more and more common and yet treatments remain vastly unexamined. As something that has been shown to effect homosexuals, concern needs to be shown for the medicalization of children, including gay youth. The Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine says it best:

"...recognizes the right of mature adults to undergo gender-affirming interventions despite the low quality of evidence on which the interventions are based. However SEGM is very concerned about applying experimental procedures to vulnerable youth whose pre-frontal cerebral cortices are still developing, whose identities are evolving, and whose ability to meaningfully consent to interventions with unknown long-term outcomes is highly uncertain."

What is 'Gender Dysphoria'?

Gender dysphoria (GD) is the distress a person feels due to a mismatch between their gender identity—their personal sense of their own gender—and their sex assigned at birth.

What is 'Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria'?

A type of adolescent-onset or late-onset gender dysphoria where the development of gender dysphoria is observed to begin suddenly during or after puberty in an adolescent or young adult who would not have met criteria for gender dysphoria in childhood.
