Without the classification of gender dysphoria as a medical disorder, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and gender affirming surgery may be viewed as cosmetic treatments by health insurance, as opposed to medically necessary treatment, and may not be covered. Some researchers and transgender people support declassification of the condition because they say the diagnosis pathologizes gender variance and reinforces the binary model of gender. Treatment may also include counseling or psychotherapy.
Treatment for gender dysphoria may include supporting the individual's gender expression or their desire for hormone therapy or surgery. The causes of gender incongruence are unknown but a gender identity likely reflects genetic, biological, environmental, and cultural factors. Gender nonconformity is not the same thing as gender dysphoria and does not always lead to dysphoria or distress. People with gender dysphoria commonly identify as transgender. The condition was renamed to remove the stigma associated with the term disorder.

Previously, the diagnostic label gender identity disorder ( GID) was used, until it was eliminated in 2013 with the release of the diagnostic manual DSM-5 in favor of the current term.
Gender dysphoria ( GD) is the distress a person experiences due to a mismatch between their gender identity-their personal sense of their own gender-and their sex assigned at birth.
