Background
This study is a qualitative exploration of the social adjustment of those who identify with Gender Dysphoria. A rich investigation of how such individuals come to ease with themselves and how other perceive them may better inform clinicians, support workers, and public on how a smoother transition into everyday society can be achieved. The lack of recognition and understanding of Gender Identity Disorder leads to strong cultural beliefs about sex, gender and sexuality that may
evoke negative reactions and consequently inhibit individuals disclosing their complete selves. Research like this will help to further support such individuals to pursue themselves in a confident authentic manner. Results may be published in a scientific journal, and may also be reported at scientific meetings.
