“A clear and accurate diagnosis of gender dysphoria
might signal the appropriateness of gender
reassignment surgery (GRS).
It does not, however, ensure a successful outcome
from gender reassignment.”

 Atypical gender development, puberty and adolescence
 Missattuned gender development, puberty and adolescence
 Authentic gender development, puberty and adolescence

 Sex differentiation of the gonads is completed during the first
trimester of pregnancy
 Gender differentiation of the brain, organizational and,
perhaps, structural is thought to occur during the second half
of pregnancy
 These two processes can be influenced independently, which
may result in an incongruence between sex development and
gender identity, the later clinical consequence of which may
be atypical gender identity development

Sexual differentiation of the human brain in relation to gender
identity and sexual orientation:
Dick F. Swaab, MD, PhD & Alicia Garcia-Falgueras, PhD
 Age 2 years: Ability to identify gender from a picture of a boy
or girl
 Age 3 years: Gender identity
 Age 4 years: Gender stability
 Age 5 to 8 years: Sex role stereotypes
 Age ~7 years: Gender constancy

Thompson 1975
Following progression through the childhood gender identity
stages, gender identity progresses in a linear fashion through
puberty and adolescence
 Peer pressure
 “Fitting in”

 There are many possible variations that cause a mismatch
between a person’s biological gender and their gender
identity
 There are occasions when the hormones that trigger
development of gender (sex) and gender (identity) may not
work properly on the brain, reproductive organs and genitals
causing differences between them
12
www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Gender- dysphoria/Pages/Causes.aspx
Gender dysphoria refers to discomfort or distress
that is caused by a discrepancy between a person’s
gender identity and that person’s gender assigned
at birth

 Completion of Gender Reassignment Surgery
is getting to the end of one journey
 It is also the beginning of the next journey,
because there is a life after Gender Dysphoria
24
 Following GRS an unconscious process begins
 The person having completed GRS will reach Gender
Constancy, attained at around age 7 with typical
gender identity development
 This will be the time when they finally gain the
awareness that their biological gender is now correct
25
 The person is now content with being a man or
woman, and take it as a given
 They progress through life with the knowledge that
their internal perception of their gender is in tune
with their external gender
 However, they will be inexperienced as a man or
woman
