Let's talk about
Gender Dysphoria
Gender dysphoria is a condition where a person experiences discomfort or distress due to a mismatch between their gender identity and the sex assigned at birth. This can impact mental health, self-esteem, and daily life, making it difficult to feel comfortable in one’s own body. While every experience is unique, support is available to help individuals explore their identity and well-being.
Key characteristics of gender dysphoria include:
Persistent discomfort with one's assigned gender.
A strong desire to transition or express a different gender identity.
Distress related to gender roles, appearance, or body characteristics.
Anxiety, depression, or social withdrawal due to gender-related distress.
With the right support, gender dysphoria therapy can help individuals explore their identity in a safe and affirming space.
WHAT DOES GENDER DYSPHORIA FEEL LIKE?
Gender dysphoria can feel like being trapped in a body that doesn’t reflect your true self. Many people describe experiencing emotional distress when looking in the mirror, wearing gendered clothing, or being referred to by their assigned gender.
The experience of gender dysphoria may include:
A deep discomfort with physical traits or gender expression.
Anxiety, depression, or emotional distress related to identity.
A strong urge to transition or express gender differently.
Feeling misunderstood or isolated in social situations.
Gender dysphoria can impact mental health, but support and understanding can make a significant difference.
