Explanation:

Gender Dysphoria basically means the dilemma that an individual has regarding his / her sexuality. The discomfort or distressing feeling that s/he feels about his / her sexual identity which greatly contrasts with the physical biological sex assigned to him/her. Such cases where the person feels confused and conflicted between the gender he/she was born with and the gender she/he identifies with is known as Gender Dysphoria.

While it is normal for a person to have the same gender identity with the biological gender he/she is born in, there are cases, more recently increased cases, in the number of people confused and in dilemma in between the two. Such cases may be that a woman may be physically female but may identify like a male and vice versa. These mismatched sex and gender identity leads to the condition of Gender Dysphoria. The solutions that these people may resort to may include social transition, sex-change surgery, hormone treatments, cross dress etc. But not withholding the negative impacts it can have on the individual, they may be mentally and physically tortured, discriminated and even ostracized from their communities.
