Abstract
This article discusses about the current and future direction of gender dysphoria and gender incongruence research. Research in transgender health care is a relatively young discipline with hitherto little emphasis on multidisciplinary and international multicenter collaboration, and relatively few robust studies regarding outcome of physical interventions. There are a number of areas, which require robust investigation as appropriate data are lacking. Education and training of the public in general, from a young age onward, starting in schools, and healthcare professionals in particular, is vital to increase understanding and tolerance, and improve the quality of life of trans people and their loved ones.
