Gender Identity Disorder

Gender identity disorder is a condition in which a person considers himself or herself the psychological opposite of his or her biological gender. Sexual identity is generally established in children at the early age of l8 to 24 months. At this age boys and girls assume their roles. Boys that prefer girls’ activities and girls that prefer boys’ activities do not necessarily indicate a gender identity disorder, unless they in their own minds think of themselves as in the opposite sex.

Some children may be confused about their gender but it usually clears up at an early age. Children with genitals that are not definitely male or female, if brought up strictly as one or the other, do not ordinarily have a gender problem.

There is no “cure” for gender identity disorder. Although there have been a few cases of psychiatrists or doctors “curing” or convincing a person to change, none have been substantiated. The medical and scientific community considers this disorder simply as a condition in which a person is born with a different psychological sexuality from their biological appearance. Most people accept this condition as normal and the general public is accepting people like this in all social and business spheres.
