    I feel that psychoanalysis by non medically-qualified Freudians has no place in the assessment or treatment of gender dysphoria. Forcing vulnerable adolescents to be subject to psychoanalysis a questionable pseudo science, often for years, does nothing to help, & risks harm. 1/

        For children & young people who aren't Trans, forced 'exploration', 'rattling', dream analysis, & other nonsense psychobabble may only be a inordinate waste of time & money. For those who are Trans, the process of psych appointments & questioning is stigmatising in & of itself 2/

        Imagine if to be accepted as gay, or autistic, or left handed, you were made to attend monthly appointments for years where a psychologist & a psychoanalyst (often without even basic scientific qualifications), subjected you to intrusive questioning about your body & mind 3/

        We don't need to imagine. This was the reality of assessment for those conditions in the not too distant past. 'Treating' conditions of human experience with a biological underpinning with psycho analysis is ineffective & often harmful. Have we learned nothing from history? 4/

        It is way past time that the @nhsrightcare @NHSEngland @TaviAndPort adopted a gender affirmative model to gender dysphoria & transgender adolescents, as recommended by @wpath & @TheEndoSociety & already in place for the adult service. Get Conversion Therapy out of gender care End

        Psychoanalysts are created by a fear of sexual inadequacy. To heal psychologically the psychoanalyst adopts a pseudoscientific framework of bald assertions and unfalsifiable hypotheses with the goal of faking competence and intelligence to cover their obvious insufficiency.

        Medically qualified psychiatrists were burning our brains out to 'cure' us of being trans like 5 mins ago, so I wouldnt take uncritical refuge in the security of medical qualifications myself. Agree that people shouldn't be forced to undergo therapy to access gendercare tho.

        Yes, agreed. Doctors can definitely be mendacious too. Of course the NHS is systemically transphobic.

        It can be really helpful for some things (my OCD has responded well to it) but it isn't a cure-all by any means.
