Project description

This project is a qualitative interview-based study, investigating subjective experiences of gender dysphoria (the diagnostic term since 2020 is gender incongruence). The aim is to provide insight into nuanced and diverse experiences of gender dysphoria, in order to develop the understanding of the phenomenon and how it should be treated clinically. The study is supported by Dam Foundation (Stiftelsen Dam), in collaboration with three organizations representing young people living with gender dysphoria.
