It’s pretty much exactly the same thing. Would also be like encouraging people with low self-esteem to get plastic surgery until their problems go away.
I’m getting my PsyD in clinical psychology and transgenderism has always looked and acted like a disorder to me. Further, the suicide rate for transgender individuals is north of 40%, which beats any disorder in the DSM...and were supposed to think that’s within the spectrum of “normal” behavior? It honestly feels like psychology, as a whole, is way off course.
The mental health system has gone downhill in the past 20 years. At most clinics and hospitals it was common to be seen by real psychologists for therapy, and psychiatrist's working on the medical side. It's changed to social workers for therapy, and nurse practitioners to prescribe the meds. The NP's are mostly female and easily influenced pharmacutical represenatives to push the latest new (not really new drug example abilify patent expires so now its time to push new and improved rexulti). I don't know what happened to phsycologists, they seem to have disapeared completely. Its a shame because they differ from social workers in that they analyze why you are thinking they way you do, and then help change they way your brain works changing its structure through changing your thought patterns hopefully resulting in a true cure, and really improve your life. While a social worker (as the title implies) is more concerned with getting you to just good enough to function in society, this usually means section 8 housing, food stamps, and either a low skilled job or SSI SSDI. They do therapy but its mostly coddling. Psychiatrist's seem to be aging out, most are older, like over 60.
Well how do you expect them to be able to afford to keep a crucial diversity department? Poke around uni payroll sites. Lowest paid iirc is over $110K US. Is it redundant to have both "Affirmative Action" and "diversity departments?"
If there is a discrepancy between what the brain thinks, and what the body looks like, and you can't find anything wrong with the body - then the problem can only be in the brain. How is this contentious?
Is it wrong for me to compare hormone treatment/surgery for a transgender to telling a schizophrenic person to listen to the voices?
Not a good medical comparison, but a good analogy for normies. Haha

Not only that, but demanding that other people pretend said voices are real.

Other than CBT I take the entire field with a huuuuge grain of salt.
Do you honestly believe they aren't correct about anything, except the one thing you personally like and may be addicted to?
CBT is cognitive behavior therapy u dolt.
What are you talking about? CBT is cognitive behavioral therapy. It's not a drug. Lmao
👍
