Difficult topic to discuss in a sensitive and respectful manner.
"He's among a group of psychiatrists who argue the gender-affirming treatment model discounts underlying psychiatric issues in youths who present with gender dysphoria."
Reasonable statement that deserves some discussion.
"There is NO reliable evidence that trans identification can be differentiated from psychosis," he wrote on X last year.
And immediately this individual's credibility is tainted by a hyperbolic and disrespectful statement. I wish the ABC wouldn't do that.
There are a small number of people who detransition due to misdiagnosis, which should lead to a discussion about lack of access to high quality psychologists when you're trying to figure out what you need to do to feel OK.
