Summary:
"Some young people struggle with gender dysphoria, a mismatch between one's experienced gender and assigned gender. It's a distressing condition that can cause mental anguish as people try to cope with their assigned gender not matching their innate sense of who they are. Gender dysphoria can be addressed through treatments including therapy and medical options. This sympathetic and informational title describes gender dysphoria, outlines some means of coping with the condition, and provides resources and strategies that young people can draw upon to deal with gender dysphoria"-- Provided by publisher.
