so it’s / p r e c i e n t : 2 finding found info on / what i would gro / 2 kno as Gender Dysphoria
but was called / in this context as / Gender Disorder / but / thxfully the innanet is here 2 let ya kno [years
l8r]

...that gender nonconformity is not in itself a mental disorder. The critical
element of gender dysphoria is the presence of clinically significant
distress associated with the condition.6

in the pamphlet
the parent ask
the child
“Are you a boy or a girl?”
the child say
“Yes.”

yes
yes

yes yes yes
