Is Gender Dysphoria a Dissociative Disorder?

Author Jason Evert shares data from a recently shut-down British gender clinic for minors and why most cases of gender dysphoria are symptoms of a larger problem.

It's almost like this was a gender clinic and not a general mental health clinic so they didn't do stuff that wasn't about gender 😲

I see the point trying to be made, but ~123 is not a generalizable sample to all transgender individuals. Additionally, gender dysphoria is co-morbid with depression and anxiety frequently due to the nature of it.

Yes, and study show being a sexual minority or on the outside of any social norm causes anxiety, and depression

This is precisely why more money and time needs to be invested into mental health services AND gender clinics. Some people who do experience gender dysphoria do so because of a trauma response, but that's only a portion of people with gender dysphoria. The goal is to minimise the amount of people with the wrong treatment, and the way to do that is to invest in affordable mental health services so that the people with underlying issues that don't relate to gender can be helped, and that helps sort out the people who would benefit from gender transition. This would not only help trans people, but people as a whole because a vast amount of people suffer from trauma in their past and if that isn't dealt with, it will only result in problems down the line and a continuation of generational trauma.

That could mean somethint simple as "have you ever experienced anxiety" which is literally everyone??"

yes there needs to be better funding for mental health services in the uk. but has this lad considered that children in a minority group that is subjected to prejudice, bullying, violence, etc. might become mentally ill because of this?

[nela]

Yes, and if you read the follow up, of those 98% who had other issues, 88.5% of those other issues went away with their transitions, another 10% of them showed that their other issues diminished, and that remaining 1.5% that was the official reason that a clinic that helped so many people got shut down. Very good of you to highlight that.

[bowensteffen]

youre assuming causation in one direction rather than the other. its a shame you dont actually have any evidence for your fearmongering

[TAllen-busv]

As a social worker in the States, we address behavioral issues, or a psychologist prescribes medication. Therapy is rarely available.

I find it nonamusing that as soon as some political party takes over, there are an awful lot of publicized and extremely nice presentations of their ideas.

[threnodystrandon]

Shit like this makes me happy to be living in a third world country.

[moniquevamado]

Yup. I knew someone in the UK who had Gender Dysphoria and the gender clinic told him he needs to start transitioning, despite the fact that he had a mental health history of many other things. It's infuriating.

Hey so uh what? Being trans is different for anyone, how can you assume that every single person has the same experiences? It’s just not fair.

Real story. I knew this girl who was on the spectrum of autism but you couldn't know if you didn't know it, but it clearly had formed some blocks. I see very well thru people and can analyze them. Well she had 2 lesbian relationships when we had became friends and said ahe is one but I always had like a feeling that she has a crush on me. She wore Very boyish clothes and was very like I don't care person From The Outside. Well then few years later we ended up in bed and it was like an all nighter thing and she was like in for it. I'm not sure if she had ever been with a man before, she said she had been once but I'm not so sure since she always glossed over it quickly. Well, it was pretty messy time of my life and if it wasn't I would have propably ended up with her but I didn't want to drag her into my stuff. Well anyway in next 6months she started to dress more and more feminine and also do make up and a lot of it felt to me like she was stil trying to seduce me while also was ready to open her feminine side, but as I said I reaaallly didn't want to put my mess on her and felt like it would be unfair (it was some serious stuff and I felt like neesing to sort it out alone). We did do it once more again but I kinda stated then that what's the reason of not going with it. Ok so then things moved forwards and she only dated guys after that and has now been for a long time with a guy. Once I saw her she really affectionally was like head on my shoulder talking that her life is in a very good place and it had a vibe that I had a lot to do with it, like in an affectionate thank you manner (people in general say I'm really easy talk to). There was anyway always a bit differend kinda understanding between me and her than she and any rest of the whole group, like there was certain quite personal things I could vocalize that she just couldn't say and I knew she doesn't care if I say it to the group. Like that she drinks (used to) drink way too much because she has an anxiety about socialicing so she drinks a lot for that when people gather. Like we did drink but it's not good if it's not on your handle and using as a grudge. She wasn't mad but just agreeing and the group was just.. mostly problematic and wanted to put heads on the sand when something like that brought up. So most very quiet and one like nssh naah it's not like that and then when she agrees that it is he is like trying to be like naah naah it's not a big problem 🙄 Like no wonder I don't hang out with those guys anymore. There was kinda a blow up where multiple people parted ways.

Taking masses doses of hormones to go against your natural bodies growth patterns is totally illogical. Unnecessary mutilation of the human body is useless and cruel. The body will always revert to its natural state. Hormone imbalances can cause depression and anxiety. If this is performed on a minor this should be prosecuted as criminal abuse of a minor. 😢💗💙⚖️

[urbansetter]

I believe its, a dissociation dusirder. Most were sexually abused

[ashleyjackson]
