Gender identity disorder is when one's internal sense of gender does not match their biological sex. The document asks if it is a biological or psychological disorder and discusses a movie where a character named Brandon refuses to be called a "dyke" and is locked up by their mother due to having gender identity disorder. It also questions how society and males in the movie reacted to Brandon's gender identity disorder and what distinguishes males from females in the movie.
