Summary
In the World Health Organization’s historic International classification of diseases version 10 (WHO, ICD 10, 1992), and all earlier versions which considered the matter, gender dysphoria was termed ‘Transsexualism’ and classified in the section devoted to disorders of adult personality and behaviour. By the early twenty-first century, this placement came to seem increasingly inappropriate, not least because, notwithstanding prejudice towards trans people leading to depression and anxiety (Robles et al., 2016), the rates of psychopathology are no higher among trans people than among cisgender people (Colizzi, Costa, & Todarello, 2014; Hill et al., 2005; Hoshiai et al., 2010; Simon et al., 2011).
