Article: The Complexity of childhood gender disphoria

[Winesalot]

Robert D'Angelo's latest article. Sorry, screenshots taken from twitter as the article is behind a paywall now.

The author is part of the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (www.segm.org) and he has tweeted that 'More and more psychiatrists and other clinicians worldwide are asking questions about gender-affirming treatments for young people.'

Looking forward to more coming from this group.

Oh I wanted to read this. Thanks for getting screenshots.

I found them on twitter. I had it open on my phone this morning to read but then it disappeared behind a paywall. It seems to confirm what has been said on these threads time and time again about needing to work on the underlying issues first and foremost.

Thank you Winesalot !

Found it on Twitter - these images are larger so easier to read 👍

Lost in Transition support group

Our Lost in Transition support group is a safe place where you can share experiences, get and give advice and most importantly connect with others and feel less alone. The group was set up to support people who feel confused or disappointed after their transition, or who are questioning whether transition was the right thing for them. The group is hosted by Jay with the help of Roberto D'Angelo This is support, not therapy, however we can help point you in the right direction if you are looking for a therapist.

ABOUT THE LOST IN TRANSITION TEAM

Jay

I am a detransitioning FTM. Transitioning has had a profoundly devastating impact on my life, I transitioned 10 years ago and have recently realised that it was something I shouldn’t have ever done. Transition did not help me in ways that I thought it would and in turn my depression worsened and isolated myself for many years. My life fell apart. I was left feeling broken, lost and alone. Seeking therapy has aided me in discovering the reasons for what contributed to my decision to transition and helped me come to terms with the sorrow. I would like to connect with others who have been through something similar and share my experiences as I feel it is necessary to the healing process. We are here to support and connect with you in order to aid you to discover who you are and find what it is you are seeking. I hope this group will benefit you in ways you hope for.

I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I have worked with the LGBT community for many years. As a gay man, I have experienced discrimination based on gender stereotypes and sexual orientation first hand. Working with trans-identifying youth for some years has helped me understand the many complicated reasons that people may decide to transition. Those reasons can include trauma and abuse, shame about same-sex attraction, social difficulties and loneliness and many others.
