Lessons posted:of course, i could be wrong. here's a link to the BPS's standards on LGBT care. i know a little bit about transgender care in the UK so i doubt they recommend "on-demand hormone therapy" but i'm also quite sure they don't agree with you a gyrofry that psychiatrists should serve as gatekeepers to sort out "real" trans people from the fakey fakers who are just seeking treatment because they read a blog on tumblr. that's essentially a bigoted response that views trans people as inherently suspicious and possibly deranged, and even if the BPS are bigots i'd expect them to at least be smart enough to cloak that bigotry in less obvious terms. feel free to prove me wrong.
ok i just want to stop you right here and point out that this is not my position at all, that i dont know if transsexuals are being overdiagnosed or even CARE if they are since transppl are really cool and disrupt the status quo and expose the rampant hypocrisy of privileged liberal feminists and deniers of human sexual dimorphism, and that i initially interjected only because it was gratingly obvious that you and whoever else were blindly arguing past each other about two different things without you realizing it, and i wanted to fix that
but then you went on to basically say that psychiatry is a sham, which whatever, believe what you want, but i again felt the need to (correctly) characterize your opinion as cryptoscientologism, which it is. R U a Scientologist? its ok if you are. im a technosatanist marxest with failaids, so no judgement here

i'm not saying psychiatry is a sham, i'm saying the american diagnostic model doesn't benefit psychology as much as you were claiming, (though I'm not even sure if i'd go as far as the BPS, it might be a useful heuristic or important in allowing people to take on the patient role. i don't know). i was also saying that the general public has a skewed perception of how psychiatry (and medicine in general) works and overestimates the objectivity, accuracy and consistency of psychiatrists. if you can't distinguish that from "psychiatry is a sham" then idk why you think you're qualified to tell other people they're talking past each other.

If the moderation around here wasn't busy promoting their blogs and twitter exclusively rather than doing their job, I'd expect to see you in ifap. As it is, I'll simply shrug my shoulders and accept that the level of discourse on this website is firmly in the toilet.
i'm not really sure what you're on about here, i guess that i'm arguing sincerely alternating with getting frustrated and telling people to fuck off, but its good to know you find that more annoying than gyrofry concern trolling about trumblr trans fakers and goatstein flinging rancid bigot shit 24/7, on this website, the rhizzone. im glad i know that about you.

what the hell are you two talking about
trans fakers who are just doing it for the attention
i think it's far more likely they are doing it for the radical inclusivity since the trans community is incredibly tolerant even of totally dysfunctional weirdos

Ironicwarcriminal posted:what's the research say about the distribution of Gender dysphoria? I presume it occurs at the same rate in Indonesia or Tonga as in California or New York but it would be nice to back this up with some stats.
why should the result of western, patriarchal imperialist statistics be considered more reliable than self reporting from oppressed people?

roseweird posted:but i also just wish i had a different body
can you elaborate here? i'm pretty sure that's the case for a lot of people on earth. like you wish you had a womb orrr???
roseweird posted:"as a male"? i mean, i still am a male, unfortunately. i don't care what people call me, i just wanted to be allowed to take hormones and dress the way i like. of course i wish i had different circumstances and a different family but i also just wish i had a different body
i wish you luck in finding some sort of peace then
between attitudes such as your mothers and the insatiable appetite for profit of the american medical industry though, it seems as if the frequency of gender dysmorphia IS somewhat elastic and contingent upon class and location and background and as such may be encouraged when not neccessary.
Sorry, but the thought of parents and medical men ganging up to railroad a young teenager into something like that just makes me upset.
You do what you gotta do though
roseweird posted:and there are good reasons apart from my family to want to become a girl, for example if you are a very pretty and effeminate boy, other boys will be attracted to you, horrified by their attraction, and abuse you. as a girl men are much less hostile to me
itt, we learn pretty girls and women aren't abused by males for arbitrary reasons.
i mean what the fuck. i appreciate how much you share and sometimes i'm really nodding my head and then what.the.fuck.
