I will like to know more about this gender identity disorder because just 2 years ago, my younger sister revealed to me that she is a lesbian and that pretty much she had struggled with her sexuality ever since she was 5 years old. She is very confused and since many of our family members are not aware of this situation because she's been hiding it very well. Please I need some of your insights.

You seem to be confusing some of your terms here. Let me see if I can clear some things up. First of all being a Lesbian has to do with sexual intimacy--preferring to have a female-female relationship. That would be called an individual's sexual identity. When a genetic female feels that she is really a man she is talking about having a male gender identity. If your sister has been dealing with her gender issues since she was 5 that certainly has nothing to do with her sexuality.
I'm not sure how old you sister is but she should try to read all she can about gender issues. She might also consider seeing a gender specialist.
