The Transgender Fad & Risks

Posted: 6/10/2016

Trigger

Just read this interesting account by a transgender person with remorse.

Some Remarks

  1. I speculate, for some people to become a transgender person is like to reach for The Last Frontier
  2. I speculate, for some people to become a transgender person is like grasping for a straw or a remedy to some personal issue
  3. The transgender issue has certainly markings of a fad
  4. It appears that a large proportion of transgendered people have a high prevalence of comorbid psychiatric disorders (e.g. major depressive episodes, dissociative disorders)  or drug addiction before transgender treatment. It appears there is no hard evidence that these comorbid disorders are caused by gender dysphoria
  5. It appears that there is little genetic or biological evidence to justify transgender treatments
  6. It appears some doctors have been infected with the transgender bug rushing patients into transgender treatment
  7. It appears that doctors and parents are too quick to apply transgender treatment to children without further, careful evaluation
