Relationships between the Feeling of Gender Dysphoria, and Depression and Aggression in Elementary and Junior High School Students Megumi Hamada, Hiroyuki Ito, Masatoshi Katagiri, Ai Uemiya, Syunji Nakajima, Nobuya Takayanagi, Yasuo Murayama, Mitsunori Myogan, Masatsugu Tsujii Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the feeling of gender dysphoria (incongruity between one's physical sex and gender awareness) in children, and its relationship with internalizing and externalizing problems. Students (N=5,204, including 2,669 boys and 2,535 girls in grades 4–9) completed a series of self-report questionnaires that assessed their feeling of gender dysphoria (using our original 13-items tool), depression, and aggression. A factor analysis revealed that 12 items from the gender dysphoria scale loaded on one factor and exhibited sufficient internal consistency. Further, the data showed a comparatively weak correlation with parent- and teacher-reported opposite sex behavior, except for the relationship between self-reports by boys and teacher-reports. A multiple regression analysis indicated that the feeling of gender dysphoria showed a moderate relationship with depression and aggression. Specifically, it was revealed that junior high school boys with a higher feeling of gender dysphoria showed a relatively stronger relationship with depression as compared with junior high school girls, as well as elementary school boys and girls. doi.org/10.11201/jjdp.27.137

Sex, gender and gender identity: a re-evaluation of the evidence Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 July 2020 Summary In the past decade there has been a rapid increase in gender diversity, particularly in children and young people, with referrals to specialist gender clinics rising. In this article, the evolving terminology around transgender health is considered and the role of psychiatry is explored now that this condition is no longer classified as a mental illness. The concept of conversion therapy with reference to alternative gender identities is examined critically and with reference to psychiatry's historical relationship with conversion therapy for homosexuality. The authors consider the uncertainties that clinicians face when dealing with something that is no longer a disorder nor a mental condition and yet for which medical interventions are frequently sought and in which mental health comorbidities are common. Clinical implications It is unclear what the role of psychiatry is in the assessment and treatment of gender dysphoria, now that it is no longer considered a diagnosable mental illness, and whether there is still a place for a routine psychosocial assessment. It could be argued that patients should be deterred from gender intervention pathways while comorbid mental illness is treated (Fig. 5). Without long-term follow-up data, it is not possible to identify those who might reconcile with their sex and those who might come to deeply regret their medical and/or surgical transition. Moreover, it is not transparent where ultimate and legal responsibility for decision-making lies – with the patient, parents (if the patient is a child), psychologist, endocrinologist, surgeon or psychiatrist.

On the 17th, the GID (Gender Identity Disorder) Society, which promotes research on transgender people whose gender does not match their physical and mental gender, changed its name to the Japan GI (Gender Incongruent) Society at a general meeting held in Okinawa Prefecture. It was officially announced that the name would be changed to the GID (Gender Identity Disorder) Society. This was based on the fact that the idea that transgender is not a disability has spread, and it is no longer used as an international diagnosis.
Discriminatory posts against transgender people spread even though they have no basis. Women who were complicit did so out of fear.
Mikiya Nakatsuka, the president of the association and a professor at Okayama University Graduate School, said in an interview after the association's general meeting, ``This is not a problem that can be solved with medical care alone, and unless society changes, the difficulties of living for those affected will not change. I want you to do it," he said.
Gender identity disorder has been renamed to "gender nonconformity" in the World Health Organization's (WHO) International Classification of Diseases, which took effect in 2022. Until then, it had been classified as a mental illness, but with the name change, it was added to the category of ``sexual health conditions.''

On the 8th, in a new document summarizing its views on social issues, the Vatican expressed its opposition to gender reassignment surgery, saying it ``threats human dignity.'' This could be a move that goes against the growing protection of the rights of believers and other sexual minorities around the world, and could invite criticism.

The new document, compiled by Cardinal Fernández, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, is titled the "Declaration on Human Dignity," and it outlines the Roman Catholic Church's views on human dignity on issues of modern society such as war, poverty, and human trafficking. has been expressed. Work began in 2019 and Pope Francis (87) approved it on March 25th.
The Vatican raised gender reassignment as one of the themes in its declaration, criticizing it as ``gender reassignment risks threatening the inherent dignity bestowed upon a person at the moment of conception.'' He quoted the Pope's words: "To protect humanity is to accept and respect it as it was created."
