Competing Interests
I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: Professor Peggy Cohen-Kettenis is a member of the Working Group on the Classification of Sexual Disorders and Sexual Health (WGSDSH) of the World Health Organization. The WGSDSH has developed the diagnostic criteria for Gender Incongruence and advised regarding its placement in the ICD-11. This does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
