They were never born male in the first place.
Being trans was always there. The person just learned how to vocalize it.
You clearly dont know what you’re talking about. You do not know better than the experts who spent years in studying psychology.

Pushing this message that therapists should be required before allowing transitioning is very harmful as it’s often not required as trans people know very well of who they truly are. Gender dysphoria is really terrible as it negatively affects your mental health.
Some places in their world require 2 psychiatrists before allowing trans people to simply transition on hormones.
It is not a mental disorder. Dsm-5 does not classify it as such.
Gender dysphoria (GD) is the distress a person experiences due to a mismatch between their gender identity—their personal sense of their own gender—and their sex assigned at birth. The term replaced the previous diagnostic label of gender identity disorder (GID) in 2013 with the release of the diagnostic manual DSM-5. The condition was renamed to remove the stigma associated with the term disorder. The International Classification of Diseases uses the term gender incongruence instead of gender dysphoria, defined as a marked and persistent mismatch between gender identity and assigned gender, regardless of distress or impairment. Not all transgender people have gender dysphoria. Gender nonconformity is not the same thing as gender dysphoria and does not always lead to dysphoria or distress
“Requiring therapists” before allowing transitioning puts up another unnecessary barrier.
No, you’re gatekeeping. A lot of people who may regret their transition likely do so because they face a lot of transphobic ostracization from the communities they live in. Instead of saying “we need a therapist” before allowing doctors to approve medical transition, you should say we need to improve mental health access.

The LW admins and moderators need to be more strict on this kind of language.
You’re not transgender so stop gatekeeping. Medically transitioning is still not accessible enough all around the world. We don’t need this transphobic fearmongering about “needing a therapist” when it’s often not required and can be expensive to see. The regret rate for medically transition is astonishing low, We don’t have this same concern for people seeking nose jobs or hip surgeries which have much higher regret rates.
Some studies suggest that rates of regret have declined over the years as patient selection and treatment methods have improved. In a review of 27 studies involving almost 8,000 teens and adults who had transgender surgeries, mostly in Europe, the U.S and Canada, 1% on average expressed regret. For some, regret was temporary, but a small number went on to have detransitioning or reversal surgeries, the 2021 review said.
They’re on the right track at least. It’s not a mental disorder and no one is a “freak” for not passing, also that “unbiased therapy” comment wasn’t needed.
They still collect data albeit less from Google Maps. But Organic Maps doesn’t collect any data.

Well lets hear it then.
They’re squirming hard in this thread 🤭
I’m glad I started my Amazon boycott earlier. I could’ve lost a lot more e-books.
