Gender identity disorders
This is sexual deviance. The etiology is unclear, most likely it is the result of a complex ontogenetic development. Prenatal androgens play a role here in a certain sense.
Transsexualism
It is dissatisfaction with one's own anatomical sex. It is an effort to get the opposite sex. In order to establish a diagnosis, it is necessary to follow the person in question for at least 2 years. This is not transvetism!!!
Dual role transvetism
It is characterized by changing into the clothes of the opposite sex without sexual excitement.
