Gender dysphoria, also known as gender identity disorder (GID) is when a person is born one gender , but is unhappy living that way. There are lots of children and young people who feel that their gender identity is not a complete match with the sex they were assigned at birth.
Transgender people in Illinois may meet the criteria for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria (historically called gender identity disorder (GID)) only if being transgender causes distress or disability. Some people in our community find it helpful to discuss their gender identity and expression with a supportive therapist. In some places, we are required to work with one or more therapists in order to get healthcare. This is especially true for children and adolescents.
