Transgender Health AMA on Reddit

Interesting reading. I guess.
I’m Joshua Safer and I serve as the Medical Director of the Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery at Boston Medical Center and Associate Professor of Medicine at the BU School of Medicine. I am a member of the Endocrine Society task force that is revising guidelines for the medical care of transgender patients, the Global Education Initiative committee for the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the Standards of Care revision committee for WPATH, and I am a scientific co-chair for WPATH’s international meeting.
My research focus has been to demonstrate health and quality of life benefits accruing from increased access to care for transgender patients and I have been developing novel transgender medicine curricular content at the BU School of Medicine.
Recent papers of mine summarize current establishment thinking about the science underlying gender identity along with the most effective medical treatment strategies for transgender individuals seeking treatment and research gaps in our optimization of transgender health care.

Question: why do you openly support people that are mentally unstable?

well, we do generally support people with mental health problems
you might want to rephrase that question better

Someone needs to ask him how we'll be able to tell the difference between normal people and the He/Shes in the near future.

I'll help him. Why try and normalize mental health issues in this case?

I don't understand why a dysphoria is being treated with surgery and hormone replacements that won't correct what is actually going on with their brains. There is a high rate of suicide in transgenders that have both had and not had gender related surgeries. It seems that the AMA is failing to correctly address or treat this mental health disorder.

When "she" says she only likes butt stuff, run.

We should support people who are mentally unstable. If we don't then they'll kill themselves, kill others, abuse others, or become homeless themselves.
I'd rather they get the appropriate treatment so they can be fine contributors to society. And appropriate is the key word there, because shitty doctors all of the country are fricking up treatments, whether that be hormones or opioids or dozens of other problems.

It's because most transgenders are nothing more than autogynephiles. It's a sexual orientation/fetish. The horomones end up killing the testosterone that fuels the sexual orientation/fetish, meaning they no longer feel sexually inclined to be a woman, and therefore the desire to be a woman goes away. The surgeries made the whole process irreversible, the horomones made them sterile, and they realize they made a huge mistake they can't reverse so they kill themselves.
