Truth.
To strike a happy medium between "make dysphoric adults jump through hoops to transition" and 'let traumatised people cut off healthy body parts," we need to acknowledge that there isn't just one path here. Transition helps some people. It hurts others. Let's help both groups.

We don't understand it enough to involve unproven medicalisation GD needs to be treated like any other psycological problem It's a tiny outlier in the population and should be treated as such No one is "special" We used to say that about Downs syndrome children. We know better

I’ve also said this before. We need to just have a much more comprehensive system/protocol for anyone who presents with GD, so their unique needs are met, wether that’s to transition or not. As it stands, all dysphoric presenting ppl are painted with the same brush.

The issue is that many, maybe most, psychiatrists are too afraid to question the merits of transition in case activists come for their jobs. This was a medical issue between Dr and patient, but now it's become a political issue for people to fight over.
