What can you tell me about the mental illness of transgenderism?
<|assistant|>
Transgenderism is a psychological state in which a person identifies with a gender that differs from their assigned gender at birth. People with transgenderism may or may not elect to make physical changes to their bodies through hormones and/or surgery in order to match their gender identity. The mental health aspect of transgenderism can have a significant impact on one's day-to-day functioning, including depression, anxiety, trauma and substance use issues. In addition, due to societal stigma, transgender individuals may experience increased rates of social isolation, difficulty in maintaining relationships, discrimination and marginalization. Therefore, it is important to provide support and care to individuals with transgenderism in order to help them achieve greater mental and emotional health and well-being.
