'''Gender Identity Disorder''' (now called [[Gender Dysphoria]]<ref name="psychiatry.org DSM 5"/> or [[Gender incongruence]]<ref name="who.int"/>) was a medical diagnosis used to describe [[transgender]] people. It is described as a marked difference between a person's [[gender identity]] and the gender they are [[Assigned Sex|assigned by others]] which lasts for at least six months. It also often includes a strong desire to change one's [[gender expression]] and [[sex characteristics]] to match gender identity, and to be perceived as that gender by others<ref name="psychiatry.org DSM 4-TR">[https://psychnews.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/pn.38.14.0032 DSM-IV-TR Diagnostic Criteria For Gender Identity Disorder]</ref>.

Gender Identity Disorder is treated by supporting the patient as they [[transition]], particularly by granting access to [[medical transition]] procedures. The purpose of the diagnosis is in part to ensure that medical transition is accessible to transgender people who require it, although it can be considered a [[medicalization]] of transgender identities.

Although most standards of care encourage that the patient's desires be supported, some doctors require the patient to "prove" their diagnosis by [[socially transitioning]] for some period and/or demonstrating adherence to [[gender roles]] before granting access to medical transition. This can be considered a form of [[gatekeeping]], particularly as it often excludes [[non-binary]] people whose identities are less recognized by those around them.

The diagnostic label gender identity disorder (GID) was used by the [[wikipedia:Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders|DSM]] until its reclassification as ''gender dysphoria'' in 2013, with the release of the [[wikipedia:DSM-5|DSM-5]]. The diagnosis was reclassified to better align it with medical understanding of the condition and to remove the [[wikipedia:Stigmatization|stigma]] associated with the term ''disorder''.<ref name="recommendations">{{cite journal |last=Fraser |first=L |last2=Karasic |first2=D |last3=Meyer |first3=W |last4=Wylie |first4=K |title=Recommendations for Revision of the DSM Diagnosis of Gender Identity Disorder in Adults |journal=International Journal of Transgenderism |year=2010 |volume=12 |pages=80–85 |doi=10.1080/15532739.2010.509202 |issue=2}}</ref><ref name="Karl Bryant">{{cite web|first=Karl|last=Bryant|title=Gender Dysphoria |publisher=[[wikipedia:Encyclopædia Britannica Online|Encyclopædia Britannica Online]] |date=2018|access-date=August 16, 2018|url=https://www.britannica.com/science/gender-dysphoria}}</ref> The [[wikipedia:American Psychiatric Association]], publisher of the DSM-5, stated that [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender nonconformity]] is not the same thing as gender dysphoria,<ref name="What Is">{{cite web |title=What Is Gender Dysphoria? |publisher=[[wikipedia:American Psychiatric Publishing|American Psychiatric Publishing]] | access-date=November 20, 2018 |url=https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/gender-dysphoria/what-is-gender-dysphoria}}</ref> and that "gender nonconformity is not in itself a mental disorder.
