Is this a reality? Can doctors come to this conclusion without fear of being assassinated by the Cancel Squad?

Or are doctors destined to prescribe HRT despite their better judgement?

This sets a troubling precedent for obvious reasons, doesn't it?

    I don't believe any doctor is going to tell you that you're "not trans" but they should be able to help you differentiate actual GD from onlinebrain feminization fetishism

      With that in mind, would a doctor actually be able to address the issue of watching too much sissy hypno videos? Assuming the doctor is aware of the phenomenon.

      Seems like a doctor who even humors the idea that their patient may not be 100 percent trans runs the risk of being mobbed. What kinds of things do doctors say?

          Perhaps not if it's an obvious case of AGP.
          If a more discerning doctor noticed GD in an unusual way, or under unusual circumstances, the doctor may be tempted to postpone HRT. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

      therein lies the rub. why should doctors care? when, in a medical education, should sissy hypno be brought up? should we cancel the cpr class and inaert that in its place?
      that's what makes this population such easy pickings for lgbt health grifters; the desperation for "empirical" validation of their trans status. now any dumbass caribbean doctor can slap a rainbow on their business card, watch a dr. powers lecture, and milk this already broke and beaten group for all its got.

        Seems to me like the better solution to this is developing better diagnostic criteria for GD and standardizing education on the issue for medical professionals, rather than trying to SHUT IT DOWN (which is just going to drive people with gender issues underground into the same sketchy discord groomer covens that we want to move people *away* from)

          the "diagnostic criteria" for depression at the GP level is a 10 item questionnaire. that's the solution? there is no such thing as psychiatric standardization.
          i don't care to argue further, but believe me when i say the underground will serve trans people better than the allopathic establishment.
          if you're impressionable (moronic) enough to transition due to a discord groomer coven, you have deeper issues than gender identity

            Right now, this is pretty much anyone under the age of 15, and at least half of people aged 15 to 25.

            The precedent you're setting will lead to widespread detrans and will set the movement back decades. Academics are not perfect, but they are certainly better than unlicensed lib-moms dispensing HRT to any child who asks nicely.

      No doctor on earth with even half a brain is ever going to tell you no on this one. Unless he could pin it on some obvious other mental illness like you were actively having other delusions and saying crazy things that could be bundled in, they will just give you whatever you want.

      Absolutely not, they can't do this.

      When I first called into a gender clinic, they literally offered me hormones over the phone. When I hesitated, they honest to goodness said "if you're calling us, you're trans".

            That's surprising
            Usually gender clinics are more into the therapy approach than IC clinics, at least that's the case in the US and Australia
            When I called up my IC clinic to start the process they didn't mention anything about hormones or why I'm calling they just told me they could fit me in at so and so date
            Then when I go there the doctor just sat there and asked me what I was doing here and what I wanted him to do and I had to go through the whole process of explaining what my problem was and what I wanted him to do (prescribe me HRT)
            That's probably a better process than pushing HRT on you on your first phone call without you having mentioned it even though it's a bit harder

            I probably agree with you there. I hope we can also agree that there should be some obstacles in the way of adolescents getting HRT, but I think we may already agree on that.

            Well personally I don't think there's any harm of AMABs getting HRT as adolescents assuming that they've been distressed for a while
            Also I think the hundreds of trans kids having their life saved by starting HRT very early is more important than the 1-2 cis kids who accidentally start HRT

            Yeah that's how IC works, it's mostly a formality and they check to make sure you aren't someone who is completely delusional or psychotic and also aren't stupid/unaware of what you're doing
            It's funny though because some of the clinics have to ask you like 'how long have you been feeling this way' and I know someone who said that they'd only been dysphoric for 6 months and the doctor gatekept them for nearly 2 years because you were supposed to have experienced dysphoria for at least 2 years lmao

    The main issue here is determining how "easy" it should be to get HRT and SRS.

    If it's too easy, you run the risk of creating future detrans-ers.
    If it's too hard, you may deny trans people the best treatment.

    A doctor should be able to say "No" or "Wait" under the right circumstances

    But then I suppose the patient will just go to a more loose clinic.

        The deeper into my education I get (and my experience with experts wrt trasition helps this along), the more obvious it is that doctors are just some sorta smarter than average guys who have little special insight. Having shamans reading turtle shells determine who gets to transition would be almost as effective.

          Because that person is trained to, and will be educated on certain signs to look out for. You said it yourself, doctors have at least some insight. Self-diagnosis is especially dangerous for certain impressionable people. If you're under 18, you should get an evaluation from a licensed professional before doing irreversible damage to your body. If you're 18 or over, I say you should be able to get HRT at 7/11.

            That's very unprofessional imo and likely would reflect an underlying bias that the doctor had
            What the more likely case would be is that the doctor, if they were inclined to prescribed HRT without a letter from a psych would do would be to refuse a HRT script at that appointment and get their patient to see a psychologist or psychiatrist first
            This happens quite often with autistic/depressed MtFs and although it's rare, psychotic individuals

            While that may be true, I firmly believe that there should be at least one obstacle in the way of children getting HRT. In this case, that obstacle would be a doctor, even with a limited amount of training.

            Obstacles like a person in a white gown would be ideal to prevent otherwise impressionable cis people from medicating themselves and injuring their lives. I think there should be two people in white gowns, ideally, just to filter out more future detransers.

            Now it seems like you yourself are underestimating the very crucial role doctors play in the transition process. Doctors cannot read minds, but they are (or should be) equipped to administer HRT to the correct people.

            Like I said before, there should be at least one obstacle in the way of adolescents getting HRT. Even if that obstacle isn't trained the best. Obstacles serve to filter out future detransers. If you're over 18, go ham.

            You are indicating to me that you think there should be no stopgap between an adolescent and HRT. I may be wrong, but that's the vibe I'm getting.

            You don't want to live in a world where anyone can get HRT at any time. This is a recipe for disaster. Doctors are a meaningful barrier, and their function is not to make trans people feel like outcasts.

            Administering medications correctly is a crucial function in all medicine.

            It's tough
            Because obviously there are many barriers put in front of adolescents seeking HRT through official channels and it's only in the right wing fever dream that there are all these adolescents being prescribed HRT without any gatekeeping
            But when I think about ideals and what should be done for the maximum benefit of these kids, I do think DIY should be permitted

            It's tough
            Because obviously there are many barriers put in front of adolescents seeking HRT through official channels and it's only in the right wing fever dream that there are all these adolescents being prescribed HRT without any gatekeeping
            But when I think about ideals and what should be done for the maximum benefit of these kids, I do think DIY should be permitted

    They probably could do that, but the problem is more in that the patient would likely just go to someone else who tells them what they already think tbh. Idk if that’s even a uniquely trans problem though unfortunately.

    They're not going to tell trans people that because they know trans people will immediately go to another doctor and cry about medical transphobia. That's like McDonald's refusing to serve a morbidly obese guy on a scooter another 50 piece mcnuggets over "health concerns"

    I'm OP but it just occurred to me that HRT should be available over-the-counter to anyone over the age of 18. Frick it, you're an adult, you can make your decisions right? Is this already true IRL?

    Obviously you should get an evaluation if you're a child, but it would be based if you could get HRT at a local pharmacy if you're an adult.

    Absolutely they can and do say no when symptoms aren't matching- that's professionalism IF they know the material involved. You can get a second or third opinion and they know that too. That second opinion may be correct based on current information since the first opinion, or perhaps the first opinion didn't fully consider all factors. This applies to all medicine, psychiatry included.

      Passed the age of 18, I agree. But for younger people there should at least be one doctor in the way of HRT. The function of the doctor would be to filter out kids who were impressioned or groomed.

      That just doesn't happen I'm sorry
      And I'm mainly talking about parents buying their kids DIY in cases where the trans healthcare system is very slow and would result in their kid masculinising for years before they can even see a doctor

      >parents buying their kids DIY
      While this is... better... it's still not ideal. Famously, lib parents can be fricking cringe with the LGBT shit. You know exactly the ones I'm talking about.

    There literally no regulated testing to determine Gender Dysphoria in the first place

    no blood testing
    no CTC/MIR scan
    comparing it to cancer or diseases is just bullshit

    literally just based on feelings of the bullshit "gender affirming therapist"
    I highly doubt this butthole will ever say NO

      I'm OP but I actually want to disagree with you here. To my knowledge, you can't check for "transness" using any physical metric like the ones you mentioned.

      Dysphoria is a psychological disorder, and thus should be addressed via a psychological evaluation. I believe that a person can be treated with gender dysphoria by transitioning, and a few psych evaluations may be sufficient to diagnose.

        the saying 'no you haven't got it" is the problem here
        we have no way of objective way finding out dysphoria
        psych is so the cesspit of biases in diagnosis

    Dr powers talks about turning people down for being too agp, and i saw people saying the private dr i saw turned away people from hrt for being gynephilic and not presenting female and stuff. gatekeeping definitely happens, it's like a lot less now but still
