Dysphoria is a mental illness and requires treatment. Transition may help some people but it evidently doesn't help them all. Lack of alternative treatment creates more detrans folk, lack of help creates more retrans folk, lengthening clinic wait lists, harming trans folk. 4/5

I'd like to see trans activists and allies, who care about dysphoric youth, bringing attention to this issue. There should NOT be detrans people, who regret transitioning, turning to HRT because their untreated dysphoria is consuming them. 5/5

Could we differentiate neurological gender dysphoria from environmental gender dysphoria please? Lumping the two together won't help anyone.

How do you make such a differenciation?

It's pretty simple. There are clearly cases of gender dysphoria most likely caused by the environment and others most likely caused by a neurological condition. The treatment seems to work for the neurological cases and not work for the environmental cases (surprise surprise)

The symptoms of neurological gender dysphoria are very different from the ones of environmental gender dysphoria and in the past therapists actually did a fairly good job at differentiating the two and tracing back to the original cause.

I meant in terms of being assessed at the clinic. Is my dysphoria neurological or environmental? I don't know, that's not something they investigate. They should - but they don't. We simply do not know who has what in today's mess.

It's pretty obvious yours is environmental. I saw your interview.
