(DG) is playing in particular in recent years on both the national and international scene and given the increase in case, transgendarism has received an unprecedented amount of attention from both the media and the scientific community.

After having clarified what is recognized today as gender dysphoria, the evolution of the term itself will be examined in detail to promote greater
awareness of what is identified as such.

Furthermore, the evolution from a diagnostic point of view will be explored in depth and the latest studies that have attempted to outline the role of
neuronal connections in transgender subjects will be shown.
