The proper name is gender identity disorder and the diagnostic criteria are
* Long-standing and strong identification with another gender
* Long-standing disquiet about the sex assigned or a sense of incongruity in the gender-assigned role of that sex
* The diagnosis is not made if the individual also has physical intersex characteristics.
* Significant clinical discomfort or impairment at work, social situations, or other important life areas.
I'm not sure exactly what causes it, but my Abnormal Psychology class notes imply that the disorder develops during childhood when sex role stereotypes are established, so basically the child confuses his/her gender role in early development causing him/her to identify with the opposite sex.
