False! All psychiatrists work at a personal level with patients.

I'll remind you I'm both trans and intersex/DSD and a doctor, a lead clinician in a gender clinic and speaking with trans patients day in day out!

2. Ya think as a lead clinician in a gender clinic that I don't speak to trans people everyday??!! 😂🤣
comment in response to
post
Entirely false! Try harder! 😂 You're a hella clueless!
1. Psychologists have little to no involvement in gender care as they aren't sufficiently qualified to be prescribers! Which is why consultant psychiatrists like me (who is trans and intersex) are involved in care!

Again you are trying to break up trans people into subsets that do not exist! I'll remind you once again one of us holds a medical degree and had over a decade experience of diagnosing and treating it as a consultant psych and clinical lead. At this point you are clearly a stooge and a transphobe.

False. A diagnosis of gender dysphoria is a prerequisite for any aspect of affirming care such as hormones or surgeries. No diagnosis/no affirning care.

You come across as very childish which is a concern for someone considering such a significant change, though clearly you are just a bot 🤖 Time to add you to the blacklists. Attacking the few who help people like you isn't a good look!

Some larger clinics get around that by having a consultant psychiatrist review their notes and patient consent and prescribe.

Try harder! It stated quite clearly in my post that I'm a consultant psych! So no, not a 'psychologist' but a psychiatrist - a psychology degree would be fairly useless for a gender clinic specialising in affirming care, while psychologists can be used in therapy they are unable to prescribe!

Correct for a change but still wrong! Not a 'psychologist' but a consultant psychiatrist specialising solely in gender identity!

Try harder sweetie - Time magazine included sources as a hyperlink in the article. It's fairly obvious you are just a transohobic troll. Time to block you.

Looks like once again I have to prove you wrong! Here ya go - suicide rate 52% which is just over 1 in 2 will attempt suicide at some point. - www.psychiatryadvisor.com/news/transge... You're welcome.

Twitter has been dying a slow death for some time frankly and even before Musk. Unfortunately Muskie made it 10x worse as he desperately needed to make Twitter/X make money so turned a blind eye to shitty product ads and scams turning X into a dumpster fire!

I sincerely hope schools continue to ignore bigoted Trump! I'd love to start seeing mass scale state secession and the break up of the US as we know it! It would only take 1 or 2 states for Trump to back down! My bets on California first!

... booted out of office if they have a serious mental health condition that would last >6 months and vice pres takeover up to month 6 then either a return to office or an election. I'd also suggest a change to the constitution that any felony = bye bye White House!

You can't even give me the fatality rates!
Here ya go! Childhood suicide rate without affirning care is 1 in 2 suicide. You are cherry picking - a sign of dishonest debate! Hey I could show you that 100% if trans people without treatment are dead before aged 120! See how easy cherry picking is!

Nope, there aren't 'lots of treatments' as Gender Dysphoria doesn't have a predefined requirement for a pre-set number of appointments. Quickest would be 2 appointments and hop onto the OR table! Could be as little as 1.5 hours of therapy then snippy snippy! 🍆 ✂️ 🥜 ✂️ ✂️ 🌮 👍
comment in response to

3. There is no longer a prerequisite number of therapy sessions or duration of treatment. If I wanted to and a patient met criteria they could be on the OR table in just 2 appointments!!
comment in response to
post
You have lied and lied again!
1. Gender dysphoria itself is not a mental diagnosis nor is one required, though we do screen to rule out a mental health cause that isn't gender dysphoria.
2. Despite fast track referrals refret is still <1% and detrans <0.2%.

False. Please stop lying! 🤥
At least know what you are talking about! 1. Not a psychological condition in any form! This screenshot best describes it! But it was depathologised as a mental health condition years ago!

.. in favour of fat loss and muscle gain but like all muscle gain you've got work out to get best benefit and watch diet to limit fat intake. I think it's something you need to discuss carefully at your next gender clinic appointment.
comment in response to
post
.. some not at all and some you may get fairly good changes. Starting with face - fat distribution will change on the face as it will across the body as males have half the body fat %age of an AFAB - there's no easy way to lose the body fat! Hormones like T will help, it'll change metabolism..

..a modifier, in trans men taking T invokes most of that change but as you aren't (unless you are a 1% rare exception to the rule of an AFAB who has a Y karyotype in their chromosomal mix) a carrier of a Y karyotype the body has lesser response to T than an AMAB, some things will change partially..
comment in response to

That's a fallacy, how do you know what T will make you look until you've taken it! Reality is T in almost all cases for trans men will hugely change your body! Unlike trans women who effectively have to 'undo' their past wrong sex as female is the default human biological form and the SRY gene is...

False. Conversion practice is unethical and unlawful. No professional medical body supports its use as not a single study shows it has efficacy but every study shows it causes harm.
comment in response to
post
Are you talking nonsense still! It is physically impossible to cure Gender Dysohoria, transition does not offer curative treatment but does ease gender dysphoria by bringing the body into line as maximally as possible with gender identity but will never fully resolve it.
comment in response to

Sweetie you are trying to argue with me, a consultant psychiatrist, lead clinician and owner of the UKs largest private gender clinic, a doctor and former gender affirming surgeon. Funnily enough my qualifications and experience means I know gender dysphoria inside out!

False. You seem to struggle with basic concepts.

Trans people are broken! 😂 Fact is if neurological sex and gender identity is at odds with phenotypic sex then you are trans, have gender dysphoria and are broken but can be fixed!

False. The only surgery performed on an infant with a DSD is to ensure a patent urinary tract, all other surgery is delayed until a definitive diagnosis of gender identity can be made,

If you do not have gender dysphoria you are not trans and therefore a cross dresser or someone with a weird kink!
comment in response to

Not this daft game again! Gender dysphoria=trans! No ifs, no buts! To be diagnosed with gender dysphoria requires persistent and consistent gender identity at odds with phenotypic sex for >2 years and that affirming care afforded resolution. If you have gender dysohiria you are by definition trans

The other issue with Rowling is her wealth and her intent! TERFS have been clear, especially since the last court ‘win’ to challenge more U.K. law to pull rights from trans people and she has even offered to pay TERFS legal fees to do so! Thankfully U.K. law helpfully means that where a case has

Rowling is problematic on multiple levels, firstly her account obviously has a big reach based on followers but her status as a world renowned author lends credibility to her hate, it’s sad however that’s she destroyed her legacy and left the HP franchise horribly tainted and even some of the HP…

Secondly it could result in a trans person rightly knocking a phone/camera out of someone’s hands to avoid someone unlawfully taking their photo, of course the loony TERFS would jump on that as ‘mAlE vIoLeNcE’ rather than what it is, someone defending themselves and their privacy!
