John, that’s a very noble, if slightly sexist goal. But it’s also a very new phenomenon. The option to medically transition into a unique gender you have created is extremely new. Here are the criteria I had to meet 20 years ago versus the ones today. If I had not wanted to be a woman, I would literally not have met the criteria to have access to medical transition. Maybe these changes are good, maybe they aren’t. But anyone honest is going to admit they are EXTREMELY understudied. The fundamental tension is that we are creating people with no interest in integration faster than we can create public support for the public accommodations required. Therapists like you have made this change with no plan to address the inevitable political issues. Which puts everyone at risk. https://bird.makeup/@stygian_john/1832675462914699455
