As of August 2018, the ICD-11 lists this condition as "gender incongruence", under "conditions related to sexual health", coded into three conditions:Gender incongruence of adolescence or adulthood (HA60): replaces F64.0Gender incongruence of childhood (HA61): replaces F64.2Gender incongruence, unspecified (HA6Z): replaces F64.9In addition, sexual maturation disorder has been removed, along with dual-role transvestism.
