Dont you just hate idiots like this?

Especially when they call themselves dooooooooocters 

Just some of the crap written by one seriously misinformed "doctor" 

"Gender identity disorder is a distortion of reality in that individuals hold to over-valued beliefs about their gender being fundamentally wrong."

"Is transsexualism or GID about having the wrong body or the wrong beliefs?"

"Many psychiatrists agree that transsexualism is deemed to be a function of 'over-valued ideas',"

Just shows that there is still in this day and age so many people that have such backwards way of thinking

Besides ignoring the concept of gender identity, the opinion piece fails at taking into account aberrations caused by chemicals and/or drugs during fetal development.

Despite extremely tenuous scientific assertions that hypothalamic size variations and other factors might be associated with transsexualism, there is in fact no scientific basis to suggest any biological causal factors for this condition.

Guess MRI scan information means nothing

Psychiatry's obsession with classification and diagnosis has thus allowed for an inappropriate recognition of this specific over-valued belief system, transforming it into an actual definable medical disorder.

The ICD has coding for financial, housing, and employment issues, not exactly the first thing you think of when asked to name a physical or psychological health issue

Are we using our professional attributes with true compassion, wisdom and skill for our most needy and vulnerable patients? What exactly are we endorsing when we medically legitimise GID and who are we destroying?

The current best known "cure" to issues of gender identity and body are hormonal and physical treatment, granted neither will on its own solve any issues that the patient has concurrently. But for the most part, people who have successfully went through treatment are more happy and healthy, and shouldn't that be the point of medicine?

They try too hard to sound smart, but hit and miss on several occasions.

Are we seeking to heal or destroy the very essence of human nature itself? Are we deceiving ourselves or being utterly deceived?

hum, wow. Darn it they figured out our utter deception, I guess the jig is up kids.

People are always going to have a backwards way of thinking and also try and make sense of something they know little about.  People are always going to try and find some scientific possibility or make one up that comes close to making little sense.    That just seemed like some people that no nothing about the matter trying to make some sense of it in their own twisted way well thinking that its so wrong to be the way all of us here are.  How wrong they are.

phycology is anything but a science.... science relies a defined methed of doing or testing something in order to see the results and hinges on the ability to replicate the results. If the results cant be replicated then the hypothisis or theory must be discarded. Everyone here should remember this from highschool science classes. so lets examine it..... the symptoms of trans is replicated in individuals world wide... the feelings are replicated from individual to individual and cross biological genders ...so by scientific method gid is not a theory but is a fact. And as a fact it leaves no room for disbute. Phycologist who dispute its existance and deny its reality may as well be argueing that gravity isnt a fact. Phycology relies on intuition rooted in facts in order to make its diagnosis. can phycology say a person has gid based on talking with a person with 100 percent certanity no they can not. because they cant test the persons statements to insure they are true it is not a fact it is a theory. but a phycologist who denies the existance of gid  denies a fact that has been proven at autopsy and threw replicated symptoms world wide.

He's just after publicity. Now I know where the term quack came from.
