Transgender people have often been harassed, socially excluded, and subjected to discrimination, abuse and violence, including murder.In December 2002, the British Lord Chancellors office published a Government Policy Concerning Transsexual People document that categorically states, "What transsexualism is not ... It is not a mental illness." In May 2009, the government of France declared that a transsexual gender identity will no longer be classified as a psychiatric condition, but according to French trans rights organizations, beyond the impact of the announcement itself, nothing changed. Denmark made a similar statement in 2016.In the ICD-11, GID is reclassified as "gender incongruence", a condition related to sexual health. The working group responsible for this recategorization recommended keeping such a diagnosis in ICD-11 to preserve access to health services. Gender euphoria
Gender euphoria (GE) is a proposed term for the opposite of gender dysphoria. It is the satisfaction, enjoyment, or relief felt by trans people when they feel their body matches their personal gender identity. Healthline defines it as "feelings of alignment or joy about [ones] gender identity or expression," while Psych Centrals definition is "deep joy when your internal gender identity matches your gender expression. "In 1986, the term was first published in a trans context, as part of an interview with a trans person: "gender dysphoria, and a term of which he seems inordinately proud, gender euphoria." Similar uses were published in 1988. (The same term had been used as early as 1979, but to describe male privilege present in Black men.
The American Medical Association, the Endocrine Society, the American Psychological Association, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the American Academy of Pediatrics oppose bans on puberty blockers for transgender children. In the UK, in the case of Bell v Tavistock, an appeal court, overturning the original decision, ruled that children under 16 could give consent to receiving puberty blockers. Psychological treatments
Until the 1970s, psychotherapy was the primary treatment for gender dysphoria and generally was directed to helping the person adjust to their assigned sex. Psychotherapy is any therapeutic interaction that aims to treat a psychological problem. Psychotherapy may be used in addition to biological interventions, although some clinicians use only psychotherapy to treat gender dysphoria. Psychotherapeutic treatment of GD involves helping the patient to adapt to their gender incongruence or to explorative investigation of confounding co-occurring mental health issues. Attempts to alleviate GD by changing the patients gender identity to reflect assigned sex have been ineffective and are regarded as conversion therapy by most health organizations. : 1741

Biological treatments
Biological treatments physically alter primary and secondary sex characteristics to reduce the discrepancy between an individuals physical body and gender identity. Biological treatments for GD are typically undertaken in conjunction with psychotherapy; however, the WPATH Standards of Care state that psychotherapy should not be an absolute requirement for biological treatments.Hormonal treatments have been shown to reduce a number of symptoms of psychiatric distress associated with gender dysphoria.
