Having a second infobox for the ICD's gender incongruence (GI) is not warranted—it is far too similar to the GD infobox and gives no new information to readers. In Symptoms, "Distress related to one's assigned gender, sex or sex characteristics" is used in the first infobox, while "A marked and persistent incongruence" is used in the second, which, if there is a difference in meaning, is not clearly conveyed. The ICD, unlike the DSM, does not label GI as a pathology, which is an important differentiation, but the second infobox, nor the source used, explains this. Additionally, both Symptoms and Differential diagnosis contain direct quotes from the source without quote marks. Slothwizard (talk) 05:44, 23 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
