The brain is just as important as any other organ or body system. The whole point of doctors is to diagnose these things and triage problems. Some people being misdiagnosed for mental issues is no more a final statement than misdiagnoses on physical health. If a doctor can't tell an opinion from a real condition, then they are a fucking quack. It's not that simple. I don't think the reality is fair to go "Everyone who claims they couldn't consent as a child and regrets the transition had a quack doctor!" Hell there are plenty of adults who transition and transition back and say they regret it. I don't get what you can do to get 100% accuracy on that and saying "Anyone who has different convictions 20 years later had a quack doctor!" is not an acceptable answer. There is no tangible reason to worry about this any more than diagnosing children with other mental/developmental disorders or physical orders. Except there is. There's a difference between mental health and physical health. A 6 year old girl who says she believes she is a boy is not the same thing as a 6 year old girl who has a hole in her heart. A 26 year old woman can't claim she was mistaken about having a hole in her heart in retrospect. It's binary. The hole was there. The 26 year old man can claim he's actually a girl after all and regrets the transition. And drugs that block puberty or alter your body are life-altering. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ... Copied to Clipboard! |
