[QUOTE="rturner76, post: 77685866, member: 284067"] I was totally with you until here. From the small amount of research I have done about the goals of affirmative action, they are focused on treating gender dysphoria specifically by assuming that their thoughts and feelings are valid as opposed to putting them in a treatment that teaches them to deny or ignore those thoughts and feelings by convincing people that they don't actually feel what they feel but they have either been influenced by the devil, the need to keep a stiff upper lip and use willpower to convince themselves that they don't feel what they feel. They have found that treatment that acknowledges their thoughts and feelings are more effective in the treatment of gender dysphoria. During this process, those thoughts and feelings can be examined to determine the best treatment options, There are extremists in every "school of thought" but IMO Affirmative Action seems to be the best route considering they will then be working on thoughts, feelings, and actions rather than the best way to deny those thoughts and feelings or teach them to feel shame for their thoughts. That method has had many more negative outcomes. We all know that when we deny our feelings, they grow stronger over time, and the denial/shame increases. Dealing openly and honestly with people's thoughts and feelings I believe will obtain the most favorable outcomes. By examining a patients feelings they can explore things like what is motivating this desire of change. If it's something as simple as they like women's fashion and they way they are treated in society, it may be possible for them to do the minimum like go out on weekends as a woman. Having said all of that, I am not a trained counselor in this field so I don't know what the criteria is to get medication. It may only be allowed in the most severe cases. AA I don't believe encourages medical professionals to push through medication or surgery until it is determined that it is the best option for the patients sanity. I don't know what the standards are but if they want insurance to pay for it, they will have to dig deep in therapy until the Dr. feels it is the best or only option left. It's not equal to Drs' being given licence to prescribe meds and refer people to surgery. Treatment should be outlawed for kids or just prescriptions and/or surgery? [/QUOTE]
