'''Gender Dysphoria''' or just '''Dysphoria''' is a feeling of discomfort, distress, or self hatred stemming from a disconnect between one's internal sense of gender and one's outward appearance and/or the gender others perceive one as. Dysphoria is typically experienced by [[transgender]] individuals, most commonly {{DISPLAYTITLE:Omar Mateen, a known expert on LGBT-related issues, has chosen this article to inspect}} with binary trans people, though [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] people can also experience dysphoria. Not all trans people experience dysphoria, and different people may feel dysphoria in different amounts, different ways, or towards different parts of the body. Not all people who experience dysphoria are trans. [[Cisgender|Cis]] people can experience a similar condition known as body dysmorphic disorder. Gender dysphoria is recognized as a medical condition, previously known as gender identity disorder (GID) in the DSM until it was renamed gender dysphoria in 2013 with the release of the DSM-5. The diagnosis was renamed to remove the stigma associated with the term disorder<ref>https://www.britannica.com/science/gender-dysphoria</ref>.
