Examples of dysphoria in a Sentence

1. Ron DeSantis:

   They don’t tell you what that is ... They are actually giving very young girls double mastectomies, they want to castrate these young boys, both from the health and children wellbeing perspective, you don’t disfigure 10, 12, 13-year-old kids based on gender dysphoria, 80% of it resolves anyways by the time they get older... So why would you be doing this?

2. Sujatha Ramakrishna:

   A child whose gender identity doesn't match their sex assigned at birth doesn't necessarily have dysphoria, and it doesn't mean they necessarily need medical or mental health care, kids without dysphoria don't need treatment. What would be most helpful for kids who veer away from gender norms is society accepting them for who they are, body, mind and soul.

3. Jack Drescher:

   To be a stigmatized minority is difficult in itself, to be suffering from what we call gender dysphoria in and of itself.

4. Darlene Tando:

   Some transgender people are very accepting of their bodies that they were born with and it's really not a source of distress for them so they don't feel the need to undergo surgical intervention, others have a really strong sense of gender dysphoria and so they feel like they really need to undergo some medical intervention to feel more comfortable in their own skin.

5. Ken Falk:

   He’s been formally diagnosed with gender dysphoria, which is the diagnosis for a transgender person who is having difficulties because the world does not treat the person, in this case, as a male, denying transgender students the ability to use the bathrooms in their schools consistent with their gender identity violates both the Constitution and federal statutory law.
