    • Abstract:
      The World Health Organization (WHO) is no longer recognizing transgender as a mental disorder. Gender incongruence, the term used to describe transgender people, will be moved from its chapter on mental disorders to its sexual health chapter in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD‐11).
