While gender dysphoria, as a general descriptive term, refers to an individual's affective or cognitive discontent with the assigned gender, its dysphoric compartment denotes the distress that may accompany the incongruence between one's experienced or expressed gender and one's assigned gender. On the other hand, people with gender dysphoria may have coexisting mental health problems, most commonly anxiety and depressive disorders. Anyway, disregarding current debates about associated taxonomy, distinctiveness, social complications, or therapeutic concerns, many gender dysphoric patients who are living in traditional societies may believe that their settings have an ominous prognostic impression on their personal and social lives, which supposedly could be corrected by moving to a more developed society. So, they may perceive their problem as, essentially, an environmental condition rather than a psychopathological disorder. Hence, in the present article, based on the history of some reported cases, the said conception, or misconception, regarding the existence of a substantial relationship between environments and the prognosis of patients with gender dysphoria has been probed again to check the validity or helpfulness of such a claim.
