"Gender identity disorder" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) was renamed "gender dysphoria," or...

Great post and yes it’s a tragedy…I’ve posted in other threads that if you have a child or adolescent going thru Gender Dysphoria (GD) it‘s a real condition and very sad/distressing for the child and the entire family it can be a heartbreaking ordeal.
Myself nor my family is in the Psych or healthcare field I‘ve just found this topic interesting from the standpoint of how the new MIC (Medical Industrial Complex which includes big Pharma) has so rapidly moved resources, marketing, healthcare, and social media messaging into the child/adolescent age range and it’s not by accident. It‘s a coordinated effort mostly inspired by MIC greed, the LGBTQ lobby, MSM, and of course satan himself. Why satan? Satan is the father of lies and there is no bigger lie than believing you can “transition” from a man to a woman.
With that being said GD or transgenderism has been around this country for decades relating primarily to adults but the biggest change has been the psych community regarding the treatment of children with GD and subsequently plastic surgeons.
The psych industry operates under MSM-5 guidelines which was updated in 2013 with new revised terminology listed below:
”In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association published its latest version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—the DSM-5. This comprehensive volume lists, defines, and classifies mental disorders so that mental health professionals can better understand and treat people.”
“The APA change from DSM-3 to DSM-5 in their words states that “the changes regarding gender dysphoria in DSM-5 respect the individuals identified by offering a diagnostic name that is more appropriate to the symptoms and behaviors they experience without jeopardizing their access to effective treatment options.”
“However, this change in terminology has created a new problem. When doctors and other medical professionals stop seeking and trying to treat the underlying cause of why the person feels gender dysphoria but instead encourage transition—either with hormones or surgery—to the opposite sex, they are doing the person a disservice.” And here we end with your comment which is most appropriate to this discussion.
This whole GD/tranny movement relative to children/adolescents has transitioned (see what I did there) from a
mental or psychological treatment of the condition to what now consists primarily as a
physical treatment of the condition.
The Psych says to these women…Your child is sad/depressed and has GD (Gender Dysphoria) no problem we can begin with transition for your child. The treatment protocol includes chest binders, puberty blockers, hormone therapy, name change, birth certificate revision, new clothes, and ultimately surgery by a licensed plastic surgeon. These plastic surgeons specialize in removal of all internal reproductive organs followed by radical external genital removal and genital reconstruction. Transition now drives the narrative not mental health treatment which means the underlying problem of GD never gets completely addressed.
Therefore it’s not a shock that the transgender community experiences a suicide rate of approximately 47% and the MIC coupled with parents not grounded in reality are driving this catastrophe in our country. Targeting young kids is truly disgusting and sick.
I fear your comments may be true.
