@cpluto, as you likely know gender dysphoria is the feeling of discomfort or distress that might occur in people whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth or sex-related physical characteristics. Here is more information from Mayo Clinic https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/symptoms-causes/syc-20475255

If you are interested in finding about more about talking with someone at Mayo Clinic's Transgender and Intersex Specialty Care Clinic (TISCC), you can submit an online request here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Mayo's TISCC provides integrated medical, psychosocial and surgical intervention to individuals with gender dysphoria/incongruence and to those with differences of sexual development (intersex).

Fellow members @juliethenderson @doslovesdogs21 @lrminkler might also have experiences to share with you.

In the meantime, former mentor @ayeshasharma shared a lot of helpful information for families of LGBT children in this discussion that you might find helpful as you and your child question gender and look for support.
