chosen.content: Transgenderism is a psychological state in which a person identifies with a gender that differs from their assigned gender at birth. People with transgenderism may or may not elect to make physical changes to their bodies through hormones and/or surgery in order to match their gender identity. The mental health aspect of transgenderism can have a significant impact on one's day-to-day functioning, including depression, anxiety, trauma and substance use issues. In addition, due to societal stigma, transgender individuals may experience increased rates of social isolation, difficulty in maintaining relationships, discrimination and marginalization. Therefore, it is important to provide support and care to individuals with transgenderism in order to help them achieve greater mental and emotional health and well-being.

rejected.content: Transgenderism is an umbrella term for identities and experiences of gender variance, meaning that the gender assigned at birth does not align with one’s gender identity. It can involve a range of mental health and physical issues including dysphoria, anxiety, depression, and hormone imbalance, among other potential challenges. Although it is a controversial issue and there have been varying degrees of support for treatment, therapists can help transgender and gender-nonconforming people through understanding and affirming their gender identity, and offering coping mechanisms for negative emotions or behaviours related to their gender. Additionally, access to hormones and gender-reassignment surgeries may be options for some.
