| | THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 15, Ch. 192, Psychosexual Disorders |
 | | Gender identity disorder is not diagnosed if a person engages in cross-dressing or other cross-gender activities without concurrent psychologic distress or functional impairment or if a person has a physical intersex condition (eg, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, ambiguous genitalia, androgen insensitivity syndrome). | | | In such cases, a diagnosis of gender identity disorder of childhood should be considered. | | | A gender identity disorder in which the person believes he is the victim of a biologic accident, cruelly imprisoned in a body incompatible with his subjective gender identity. |

| | The topic of gender identity is often discussed merely in terms of dysfunction, and the diagnosis of gender identity disorder is a known phenomenon in both children and adults. | | | In the diagnosis of gender identity disorder of childhood, a referral for mental health assessment is made to address cross-gender behaviors. | | | A thorough evaluation of gender identity, preferred gender role, and social interactions is needed to assess the patient. |

| | Criteria A and B (Last section) refer to two aspects of the gender identity disorder: A to evidence of cross-gender identification and B to the experience of discomfort about the biological sex and the feeling of inappropriateness in the gender role of that sex. | | | The parents' wish for a child of the other sex or direct parental pressure in rearing the child in the gender role opposite to the biological sex is not sufficient on its own to produce a marked gender identity disorder. | | | Gender identity disorders in children are often associated with other emotional and behavioural difficulties. |

| | Differential Diagnosis of Addictive Sexual Disorders Using the DSM-IV |
| | Infrequent disorders in the differential diagnosis consist of substance-induced anxiety disorder, substance-induced mood disorder, dissociative disorder, delusional disorder (erotomania), obsessive-compulsive disorder, gender identity disorder, and delirium, dementia, or other cognitive disorder. | | | Axis I diagnoses are clinical disorders, including cognitive disorders (such as delirium, dementia, and amnesia), mood disorders (such as depression or bipolar illness), anxiety disorders, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, substance-related disorders, dissociative disorders, sexual and gender identity disorders, eating disorders, sleep disorders, and impulse-control disorders. | | | Even when diminished control over one's behavior is a feature of the disorder, having the diagnosis in itself does not demonstrate that a particular individual is (or was) unable to control his or her behavior at a particular time. |

| | One article for the XVth World Congress of Sexology-Paris2001 |
| | If the social environment and the sex of rearing is syncronous with the gender identity, and also the genitals naturally or surgically are in harmony, the child is normal, with no problem or dysphoria --- this way lives the great majority of humans. | | | If the social pressure is syncronous or lightly assincronous with the neuro-psychical gender identity--- lived by the child as a deep feeling to be a boy or a girl--- the identity naturally stabilizes in a steady state. | | | The social rearing cant change or form the gender identity, but may disturb the life of the gender dysphoric, if in assyncronicity with the neural gender identity. |

| | Gender Identity Disorder & Transvestic Fetishism |
| | They (Zucker et al, 1999: "Gender constancy judgments in children with gender identity disorder: Evidence for a developmental lag." Archives of Sexual Behavior, v.28(6), pp.475-502) found that children with GID lag behind typical children in going through Kohlberg's stages of gender understanding. | | | Still, psycho-pathology continues to label gender identity issues as a "disorder." Using value-laden labels like this is antithetical to science. | | | The therapist does not diagnose his problem as "homosexuality." Yet when a depressed pre-transition transsexual seeks to transition, they are diagnosed with a label about who they are, "Gender Identity Disorder" rather than a statement about how they are suffering, "depression." This way of labeling transsexuals is more profound that a code-number for insurance. |

| | In one sense, this disorder--Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome, or MRKH--has parallels with transsexuality, in that women with gender issues are seeking surgery to "correct" their genitalia. | | | It's promising that Our Bodies Ourselves now includes a chapter on gender identity and sexuality, but thanks to the imposition of gender based on a crude check of a baby's crotch at birth, it often feels more like damage control instead of progress. | | | Questions about gender identity may fill her mind, and she may experience terrible cramping, but none of that seems to matter as long as she can have so-called "normal" sexual relations. |

| | Gender identity disorder is characterised by a strong and persistent desire to be the opposite sex, together with discomfort with one's own sex. | | | In three-quarters of the remaining patients, gender identity confusion was secondary to other psychiatric disorders, such as mood disorders, dissociative disorders, or psychotic disorders. | | | And the researchers also found disagreement as to the minimum age at which gender reassignment therapy is considered safe, and that therapy options offered to individual patients seem to depend on the individual psychiatrist. |
