35 psychologists resign from UK gender identity clinic with 3,000 kids on wait list

>> medical scandal

Understatement. It’s predatory abuse.

[Leep]

It’s a lot of work pretending to be the opposite sex.
It takes a lot of people to pull off the myth.
Doctors ( a life time of treatments) and lawyers (must sue anyone who doesn’t play along)
Once it is done its impossible to fully return to your assigned gender (assigned at birth that is)

I can reduce the backlog by 3/4 with two simple screenings:

Screen the kids for autism. Many of the kids (especially girls) getting shoehorned this direction are actually autistic. Treat the autism with appropriate therapy (because they’re not “trans”). That probably addresses 1/4 of the backlog.

Screen the parents for evidence of Munchausen by Proxy. When it is there, it’s always going to be the mums (this is what happened in the case of James Younger in Texas—his pediatrician (non-bio) mom was MbP). Remove kids from the affected parent(s) and/or grant full custody of kids to non-affected parent; give parents appropriate therapy; give kids appropriate therapy (because they’re not “trans”). This is probably about half of the backlog.

And it’s still cheaper than treating them for “gender identity disorder” for the rest of their lives.

Start by neutering the parents.

The left’s attempt to make gender dysphoria victims feel normalized by inundating society with awareness is creating thousands more victims as impressionable young minds are being influenced by the constant bombardment.

"Our fears are that young people are being over-diagnosed and then over-medicalized,” one psychologist told the outlet, asking to remain unnamed.

No, you witless moron. You should fear dysfunctional, incompetent parents are looking for the son, or daughter, they wanted but didn't get.

Excellent article which, if standard FReeper comments to virtually any transgender item are any indication, almost nobody actually read.

The article suggests pushback is beginning to happen within the transgender “industry” itself.

“The psychologist said that the patient had a history of trauma and suffered from “other things happening to them,” such as abuse...
Another said: ‘We fear that we have had front row seats to a medical scandal.’”

Thanks for posting, SeekAndFind.

It’s the new business model for quack psychologists and quack physicians, they look forward to these messed up people business coming and going. First when they diagnose them and make bundles and later they make more bundles when those same people realize what an error they made and are so messed up they need more drugs/therapy/surgery to reverse it.

Thanks for READING the entire article.

One politically correct theory about transgenderism claims it is caused by brain structure: a boy developing a girl-type brain, or vice versa. That theory has been shot down by a study from the Society for Neuroscience, reported by Science Daily:

A new theory of gender dysphoria argues the symptoms of the condition are due to changes in network activity, rather than incorrect brain sex, according to work recently published in eNeuro.

Gender dysphoria is a state of extreme distress caused by the feeling that a person’s true gender does not match the gender assigned at birth. The leading theory of the mechanism behind gender dysphoria attributes the condition to people possessing brains regions with the size and shape of the opposite sex, instead of their biological sex. However, recent brain imaging studies don’t support that theory.

Stephen Gliske, publishing his theory in eNeuro, believes brain size and shape does not cause gender dysphoria. It’s in the brain networking, which is pliable:

He proposes gender dysphoria is caused by altered activity in three networks — the distress, social behavior, and body-ownership networks — affecting distress and one’s sense of their own gender. Previous studies support the premise that activity changes in these networks are associated with anatomical changes and feelings of gender dysphoria.

The new theory may disturb those looking to excuse and maintain their dysphoria. But it offers good news for people suffering from unnecessary distress who believe falsely that their brain makes them confused about their gender. “If supported by further research,” the press release says with a bit of hedging, “this theory could offer ways to treat the distress of gender dysphoria patients without relying on invasive and irreversible gender reassignment surgery.”

In the paper, Gliske presents his “updated theory of gender dysphoria” with hope that it “may lead to therapies which directly address the underlying biology rather than just the subjective symptoms.” Gliske doesn’t state the following implications, but it seems the least invasive way to correct gender dysphoria is to help individuals to love and accept the gender that matches their biological reality. A healthy society should correct dysphoria with phoria, the ability for both eyes to focus together. Gender dysphoria puts the body and mind out of sync.

Does a healthy culture wish to keep people cross-eyed? Like giving drug addicts free needles and drugs, acceptance only prolongs the harm. The loving thing is to help turn dysphoria into eudaimonia, a harmonious integration of mind and body.
