Gender dysphoria is defined as a condition characterized by mental suffering associated with the incongruence between one's experienced gender and their birth-assigned sex.

This article aims to review information based on scientific evidence on people with gender dysphoria and its clinical approach, while contributing to a safe, inclusive, and non-discriminatory practice of healthcare.
