[ **up: [[Gender]] | [[Trans|Trans*]]** ] --- # Gender dysphoria > A psychological diagnosis (replacing the outdated and offensive “gender identity disorder”) used to describe the sense of unease or dissatisfaction an individual feels as a result of incongruence between their gender identity and their assigned gender, gender expression, and/or the way their gender is perceived by others. This term is also used colloquially by individuals to describe the discomfort and distress they experience as a result of this incongruence. Though gender dysphoria is often associated with trans people, people of any identity may experience gender dysphoria when they do not feel “right” in their body or the way their gender is being expressed.[^1] --- ## External resources - [The Gender Dysphoria Bible](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en) - [Introduction](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/#introduction) - [What is Gender?](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/what-is-gender) - [The History of Gender Dysphoria](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/history) - [Gender Euphoria](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/euphoria) - [Physical Dysphoria](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/physical-dysphoria) - [Biochemical Dysphoria](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/biochemical-dysphoria) - [Social Dysphoria](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/social-dysphoria) - [Societal Dysphoria](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/societal-dysphoria) - [Sexual Dysphoria](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/sexual-dysphoria) - [Presentational Dysphoria](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/presentational-dysphoria) - [Existential Dysphoria](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/existential-dysphoria) - [Managed Dysphoria](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/managed-dysphoria) - [Impostor Syndrome](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/impostor-syndrome) - [Am I Trans?](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/am-i-trans) - [Clinical Diagnoses](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/diagnoses) - [Treating Gender Dysphoria](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/treatment) - [Causes of Gender Dysphoria](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/causes) - [Chromosomes](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/chromosomes) - [How Hormones Work](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/hormones) - [Androgenic Second Puberty 101](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/second-puberty-masc) - [Estrogenic Second Puberty 101](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/second-puberty-fem) - [Conclusion](https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/conclusion) [^1]: ‘Gender dysphoria’, *[['Homosaurus - An International LGBTQ+ Linked Data Vocabulary' (website)|Homosaurus: An International LGBTQ+ Linked Data Vocabulary]]*, updated 23 February 2025, https://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0000567.
