Description

In this paper, I pointed out that people had come to refer to “understanding by others” as a criterion for “gender identity disorder” against a background in which the experiences of people with gender dysphoria had become diverse. I also considered what experience “gender identity disorder” as a concept would bring to the child with gender dysphoria and the parent when it came to imply an “understanding by others.”<br>I analyzed the process of the appearance of the diagnostic criterion of “understanding by others” using qualitative research with young people who were born from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Then, introducing two cases of those who sought a diagnosis of gender identity disorder, I showed that not only patients but also doctors attached importance to “understanding by the parent” as a criterion. Moreover, I discussed the impact on the experiences of the child and the parent brought about by the concept to request an attempt to adjust their relationship.
