While it is likely true that there have always been individuals who experience what is now termed "gender dysphoria," i.e. , "[d]iscomfort or distress related to an incongruence between an individual's gender identity and the gender assigned at birth,"31 the current understanding of the concept postdates the enactment of Title VII. Nothing resembling what is now called gender dysphoria appeared in either DSM-I (1952) or DSM-II (1968). It was not until 1980 that the APA, in DSM-III, recognized two main psychiatric diagnoses related to this condition, "Gender Identity Disorder of Childhood" and "Transsexualism" in adolescents and adults.32 DSM-III, at 261-266.
