Hi, gender affirming care expert and @wpath member here. I want to take time to remind everyone that the current #detrans rates are estimated to be+/-30 percent. This doesn't include those who #desist or continue to transition. This means that you those who detrans are valid and Should receive support and treatment just like those who transition. I do not want anyone to be harmed by the practice of #GAC However this appears to be the case for some adolescents. I call on @wpath leadership to develop detrans psychological And medical treatment protocols.

Hey My Name, is Dr. Amaya Deakins, I am a currently a retired Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience in the mental health field and don't waste your time reading this utter garbage by Dr.P (or whatever she calls herself) this was written to deny the existence of

Im in WV currently. I grew up here and these people in this state deserve better than @WVGovernor justice and @realDonaldTrump and @X I'd love to come back but I can't. The state tried to pass a #AntiTrans law that would make me, as a proud #mountaineer who happens to be trans, "obscene material" and because I exist I would be subject to be charged with a felony. I can never go back to my motherland which I dearly love because people I don't know wanted to criminalize my existence. I can't tell you how much this hurt me. I lived in wv in 2023 and had to move away. 😭💔 How can another person want to lock up someone for simply being who they are and am not hurting anyone? It's inhumane treatment.

Just a post to clear up some confusion between the DSM 5 TR and the ICD 11 definitions related to gender dysphoria/gender incongruence and how they differ. This is a long post but well worth the read I think. Links are included. @X #GenderDysphoria #GenderIncongruence 🧵

The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) lists 3 conditions related to gender identity:

Gender incongruence of adolescence or adulthood (HA60)
Gender incongruence of childhood (HA61)
Gender incongruence, unspecified (HA6Z)

ICD-11 defines gender incongruence as "a marked and persistent incongruence between an individual's experienced gender and the assigned sex", [with no requirement for significant distress or impairment.]

Gender incongruence has been moved out of the “Mental and behavioural disorders” chapter and into the new “Conditions related to sexual health” chapter. This reflects current knowledge that trans-related and gender diverse identities are not conditions of mental ill-health, and that classifying them as such can cause enormous stigma. 1 What is Gender Incongruence?

Gender Incongruence of Adolescence and Adulthood is characterised by a marked and persistent incongruence between an individual´s experienced gender and the assigned sex, which often leads to a desire to ‘transition’, in order to live and be accepted as a person of the experienced gender, through hormonal treatment, surgery or other health care services to make the individual´s body align, as much as desired and to the extent possible, with the experienced gender. [The diagnosis cannot be assigned prior the onset of puberty.] Gender variant behavior (Gender Atypical behavior) and preferences alone are not a basis for assigning the diagnosis. 2
