2 4-2 Short Paper: Gender Dysphoria When your birth sex and your identity gender conflict, you are diagnosed with gender dysphoria. You may feel uncomfortable in your body as a result of this. Gender dysphoria refers to the feeling that someone's assigned sex is not consistent with their identity. For example, someone who was born with the reproductive organs and other physical traits of a male may identify as a female. ( Gender Dysphoria | Boston Children’s Hospital , n.d.) It is often diagnosed as early as childhood in some individuals who experience gender dysphoria, which is characterized by significant uneasiness and dissatisfaction. Additionally, you may experience:  Anxiety  Stress  Mood disorder  Insecurities about oneself  Your sexual anatomy is strongly disliked  The practice of playing with the toys and activities of the opposite gender (in kids) The way gender is expressed may need to be altered by someone with gender dysphoria. Medical or surgical transitions may occur, as well as dressing differently, using public restrooms differently and using pronouns associated with the gender in which they are confirmed. Parenting Styles Parenting is becoming more gender-inclusive as more and more parents embrace it. In recent years, gender-inclusive parenting has become increasingly popular, since it allows children to express themselves without being constrained by stereotypes. Every parenting style has its pros and cons. In order to decide whether gender-inclusive parenting is right for your family, you should weigh its pros and cons.

3 4-2 Short Paper: Gender Dysphoria Human beings express a wide range of gender identities and expressions, beginning at a young age. There is a recognition of that in this parenting style. A child will be able to identify himself or herself by the age of 3 or 4 and recognize males and females in terms of development. Gender-inclusive parenting recognizes that gender isn't always determined by the identifying characteristics of an individual. Parenting styles that are non-binary or gender fluid are non- binary parenting, gender fluid parenting, big gender parenting, and agender parenting. The best thing you can do when your child talks about gender dysphoria is to listen to their needs. Youth who experience gender dysphoria often feel alone and don't believe anyone can understand how they feel. Whenever your child speaks about their gender dysphoria, take time to listen to what they are saying. Be sure to make them feel that you understand what they are going through and that their concerns are important to you. Whenever your child contacts you for help with their dysphoria, you will be able to refer them to transgender-affirming doctors and endocrinologists. Gender Identity and Society We consider gender roles to be behaviors or attitudes associated with sex or gender identity. Culture can influence this through its norms and traditions. It is common knowledge that stereotypical images of men, women, and other genders exist, but that they are fixed in place. Kids may think fixing cars or mowing lawns is a man's job when they see parents or teachers do it. Seeing you cook and clean regularly may make your kid think these are women's jobs. Put yourself through some tasks that aren't typical for your gender. There are also correlations between biological sex and performance at work in school environments. Males do laundry and
