I was browsing this website and came across this really interesting article:
iatdd.com/transition-and-detransition-introducing-some-key-ideas-sex-and-gender/
Apparently, there are (or have been) four different approaches to treating gender dysphoria over time. I’d only ever heard of two: Watchful Waiting and Affirmation, so it was interesting to read about Living in Your Own Skin and the Gender Exploratory Approach, and how the different approaches have come into existence over the past decades.
(These approaches are discussed towards the end of the article, scroll down to almost the end).
I’d be interested to read some more about why certain approaches have come into or fallen out of favour.
Does anyone have any other reading materials they can recommend?
Thank you!
