So you simply think transgender identity is a mental illness, would that be fair?

Proof or just your pretend world?
And yes, there are trans kids. Hate to break it to you but there are also gay and lesbian kids as well. Astounding I know
1. Child protection laws don’t apply to adults.
2. Adults have fully developed brains .
Some so interpret conversion therapy laws. Don’t know which ones off hand.
Okay, so is it fair to say that you think it is wrong to limit these therapists in this way? If so, why?
Here are 2 takes on Washington's law. Yes, I fully admit I find calling a trans child an abomination not the job of a counselor. Van as a pastor can.
Supreme Court asked to rule on state law that prohibits therapists from counseling against gender transition
Alliance Defending Freedom asked the Supreme Court to hear a case brought by a therapist in Washington state challenging a law he says is unconstitutional.
And from NBC
U.S. appeals court upholds Washington state's conversion therapy ban
The ban subjects licensed health care providers to discipline, including possible fines and license revocations, for trying to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity.

Claiming to be a different sex is more likely than not a self-perception issue. Anorexia is a better analogy than being homosexual. The DSM V has a diagnostic guide for gender dysphoria. Excessive self-centeredness is a proper subject for therapy.
Don't be a dick. Are you willing to answer the question or not? The question was about what you personally believe. Being straight about that isn't spoon-feeding, it's just being honest.

Here you guys (looking mostly at mcm66) go. Your very own thread. :mad: Hell, you can even pin it.

Here is a return to immigration, why not a northern wall? We just had a massive influx of very unwanted Arctic air. A 16,000 foot wall from Minnesota to the Pacific should really put a dent on illegal Canadian air
****kkkkkkk yes. I’ll take an entire country of guats if it means warmer weather
Common sense is neither. Its a phrase used by the ignorant to describe accidental or intuitive deductive reasoning or logic. It's never been common nor is it a sense.
Typical.
He's all about the Socratic method until someone else is doing the Socraticing.
First point is true. Your second is certainly questionable given the posts written on this board.
I love the academy of pediatrics position. In short we support developmentally appropriate care including surgeries and encourage insurance companies participation
Hi. I’d like to schedule a consultation for my daughter. She thinks she’s a boy, has attempted suicide twice, and after careful, thoughtful consideration with our psychiatrist we’d like a consult for surgery.
Oh my. I understand. Let me get a little information.
What is your and your daughter’s names?
Okay. And who is your insurance carrier
We have Medicaid.
Oh I’m sorry. We unfortunately don’t accept Medicaid.
They just closed my kids school for tomorrow because of the cold.
So the cost of reassignment can run north of 100k approaching 150k. But we are going to repose our trust “in the doctors.” Shit 4-5 surgeries a year and they are off and running meeting their “nut”
So many of our conservatives are absolutely certain everyone will rip off anyone for money. It makes me wonder what their morality is, are they just thinking, "that's what I would do."
So many of our liberals live in fantasy land. Doctors are motivated by money like many others. They aren’t running a charity. Their practices are expensive as hell to maintain. They spend a fortune to get through college and med school and make peanuts as residents. What’s more MBAs have taken over care. We talk about healthcare reform but do you think the cost of service isn’t exorbitant for a reason? Don’t be naive. Healthcare is a business and in part why we will never have it nationalized. Doctors aren’t taking pay cuts. Why do you think so many don’t take Medicaid? Wake up
So let's just nationalize healthcare and get those evil scoundrels corraled? If they are ripping us off so much, doctors must take Medicaid rates for everyone.
The quality of doctors imo would fall. It’s a business like anything else. They go through hell. A significant portion won’t bother if there’s no financial reward.
I don’t get your Medicaid comment. Practices aren’t required to take Medicaid. It’s part of the exchange that’s bullshit
And for the record I was a Dem. I prefer Clinton/Obama to Reagan/bush. I was totally fine with Biden winning. The far left progressive bs has turned many of us off
How so?
I said GD is analogous to anorexia which is psychological self image problem.
I said there is a DSM diagnostic criteria for GD
I said excessive self -centeredness is appropriate for therapy . . .
And you still wonder if I think MH therapy is appropriate for GD?
I can’t help you.
Disappointing because you can't simply answer a question. Two questions, really, but one of them was yes/no.
Aren't there laws on performing unnecessary procedures? Why don't we tighten that up? Certainly you aren't in favor of other unnecessary surgeries. Let's boot them out of Medicine.
The Medicaid comment was to require doctors to accept the Medicaid (or even Medicare) rate for procedures. That would eliminate a lot of the money incentive.
They don’t want Medicaid bc Medicaid has shit reimbursement rates. So eliminate that you reduce the appeal and maybe the best and the brightest become engineers instead.
Unnecessary is too amorphous. Hysterectomies, back surgeries - the list of surgeries that are subjective and judgment calls is too long. You want a standard that isn’t practicable
There might be some of that Marv, but I think there's more to it. Assigning malevolent motives to those you disagree with turns policy disputes into morality questions. It's one thing to think your opponent is misguided or mistaken; it's another to paint them as immoral. That's the brush McM is using here.
The best and brightest already aren't going into medicine. I've known a lot of the overachievers, perfect GPA, perfect SAT, and Wall Street is where they want to be. We WAY overpay business majors. Inventing a new derivative may not have near the value of the next gen battery to humanity but it pays a heck of a lot more. So medicine is already down the pecking list. The good news, AI will soon diagnose. Heck, A
On this particular surgery, I mentioned several times it should require multiple doctors approval. Heck, we are already at the point that AI could be asked to weigh in. It won't make more money.
The majors thing and over paying predicated on same is difficult to say. Joe Biden’s America is a new order where the avg home is 500 k and a car 50. What do I tell my kids. By all means son study history for your enrichment and edification. I know you’re passionate about helping people my dear definitely pick up an msw.
Or do I tell her yeah I get it f college you can make $ doing your Tik tok and side hustles. Or study biz then take your series 7 65,66 whatever they are now so you can live like twenty and jdb and still pursue the American dream. Afford shit like a decent house in a decent hood etc. disability insurance
Doctors aren’t immune to inflation and the market. They have to make money too and of course care is influenced by same
Code for white male overachievers?
Females and POC’s in medicine have gone up as compensation has come down.
Sombody in the care business believes and told me diversity has depressed income. There is a point there.
I think somebody should do a study on wealth and child gender dysphoria. I’m willing to bet a six pack that there is more gender dysphoria among children of high achieving high income parents.
Wow, so neat that you admit racism effects compensation like that. And there are studies that show neighborhoods being more than 10% Black STILL lowers property values. So we can throw out the canard that America no longer has a racism problem?
