[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7:44  --There are some well established international guidelines for assessing/treating transgender people published by WPATH.  Anyone in the field should be familiar with them. When followed, I expect most of the hype disappears. If the doctor you consulted didn't follow them or explain why he didn't, shame on him. These are widely recognized standards of care.

 WPATH has long required a person to live as a member of the sex with which they identify for a year before beginning any medical treatments.[/b] [/quote]

Not PP to whom you're responding, but you seem to be focused on refuting anything with which you disagree, even when it's coming from someone with intimate experience with the subject. It's pretty certain 7:44 is familiar with WPATH.

Also, what you've said in bold is flat-out untrue, and its falseness is confirmed by the very guide to which you linked. WPATH says that what they deem "irreversible interventions" (such as surgery) should not be carried out without one year of living in desired gender role. But for other medical interventions, no minimum time requirement is given. In fact, in that very document, they stress their belief in the importance of [i]not[/i] withholding medical interventions from adolescents. [/quote]
