====Gender incongruence====
[[Transgenderism]] and [[gender dysphoria]] are called Gender incongruence in the ICD-11. In the ICD-10, the group Gender identity disorders ({{ICD10|F64}}) consisted of three main categories: [[Transsexualism]] ({{ICD10|F64.0}}), [[Dual-role transvestism]] ({{ICD10|F64.1}}), and [[Gender identity disorder of childhood]] ({{ICD10|F64.2}}). In the ICD-11, Dual-role transvestism was deleted due to a lack of public health or clinical relevance.<ref name="Reed_et_al._(2016)" /> Transsexualism was renamed Gender incongruence of adolescence or adulthood ({{ICD11|HA60}}), and Gender identity disorder of childhood was renamed Gender incongruence of childhood ({{ICD11|HA61}}).

In the ICD-10, the Gender identity disorders were placed in the mental disorders chapter, following what was customary at the time. Throughout the 20th century, both the ICD and the [[Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders|DSM]] approached transgender health from a [[Psychopathology|psychopathological]] position, as transgender identity presents a discrepancy between someone's [[assigned sex]] and their [[gender identity]]. Since this may cause mental distress, it was consequently considered a mental disorder, with distress or discomfort being a core diagnostic feature.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Drescher J, Cohen-Kettenis P, Winter S | title = Minding the body: situating gender identity diagnoses in the ICD-11 | journal = International Review of Psychiatry | volume = 24 | issue = 6 | pages = 568–77 | date = December 2012 | pmid = 23244612 | doi = 10.3109/09540261.2012.741575 | s2cid = 12805083 | url = https://www.academia.edu/12557295 | quote = Until the middle of the 20th century, with rare exceptions, transgender presentations were usually classified as psychopathological. }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Cohen-Kettenis PT, Pfäfflin F | title = The DSM diagnostic criteria for gender identity disorder in adolescents and adults | journal = Archives of Sexual Behavior | volume = 39 | issue = 2 | pages = 499–513 | date = April 2010 | pmid = 19838784 | doi = 10.1007/s10508-009-9562-y | hdl = 1871/34512 | s2cid = 16336939 | url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/38019925 | quote = The DSM has consistently approached gender problems from the position that a divergence between the assigned sex or "the" physical sex (assuming that "physical sex" is a one-dimensional construct) and "the" psychological sex (gender) per se signals a psychiatric disorder.
