"For a person to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria, there must be a marked difference between the individual's expressed/experienced gender and the gender others would assign him or her, and it mustcontinue for at least six months. In children, the desire to be of the other gender must be present andverbalized. This condition causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, orother important areas of functioning.  Gender dysphoria is manifested in a variety of ways, including strong desires to be treated as the other gender or to be rid of one's sex characteristics, or a strong conviction that one has feelings and reactions typical of the other gender."
