In conclusion, the results of this study provide valuable insights into the experiences and behaviors related to Gender Dysphoria. Through the analysis of the self-assessment quiz, it is evident that individuals vary in their levels of comfort with their assigned gender, feelings towards their bodies, and desires for gender-related changes. The findings underscore the importance of addressing the diverse needs of individuals experiencing Gender Dysphoria and highlight the necessity of accessible support and resources for this population. Future research could further explore the factors influencing gender identity and expression to inform more tailored interventions and support systems.
