Although this page discusses gender dysphoria, a somewhat delicate subject, it has been written with the aim of being safe reading for people born before approximately 1950. If you find any objectionable content, please feel free to post on the discussion page and the editors will attempt to ameliorate it. |

Dysphoria
this portion is still under construction
notes
Body map: see Wikipedia, and consider that a "body map" mis-wired in a somewhat different way can cause far worse problems than GD.
