Gender Dysphoria is totally unique in the DSM for 2 reasons: 1) an incredibly broad set of diagnostic criteria that captures all kinds of experiences 2) only one acceptable treatment + therapy ain’t it https://www.psychiatry.org/File%20Library/Psychiatrists/Practice/DSM/APA_DSM-5-Gender-Dysphoria.pdf …

The breadth of the diagnostic criteria compared with the severity of the treatment is what trips me out- the majority of distress over gender meets the listed criteria but the only official treatment is changing your appearance and laying down rules for your social circle.

But I think that’s what happens when you have a very enthusiastic interest group lobbying in the DSM rewrite process and a society that doesn’t actually think gender non conforming ppl matter very much.

That’s why I’m never gonna feel bad for pushing detrans issues forward. GNC ppl have been hurt and tossed aside by the modern medical industry since the days of institutionalization and lobotomies, + that’s the real sickness at play.
