Medical professionals had long assumed that the people—young and old—who sought their care were cisgender, referring to individuals who have a match between the gender they were assigned at birth and their gender identity. But advancements in the study of gender now make it imperative that we expand our understanding and definition of gender identity to include variants that may lead to gender dysphoria—clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning caused by a mismatch between the sex assigned to a person at birth and that person’s personal sense of gender identity.
