We're moving closer to the medical community authenticating a transgender diagnosis in children via the DSM5 next spring, which will utilize the Gender Straight Jacket as a measuring tool on "normal" sexed behaviour. Granted there are already a few children who have exhibited behaviour that dared to reached beyond the confines of the GSJ and instead of praising them as rebels have been instead diagnosed with the Trans disorder (GID). And some of these children via their parents/doctors are being treated for GID by a combination of acquiescing to the child's confusion as well as placing them on hormone blockers.
Not that I put much stock in the homophobic Male Medical Machine, BUT even they have stated that nearly all children diagnosed with GID if left alone and made not to feel ashamed of their differences will grow up to be well adjusted gay and lesbian adults. The huge word in that sentence is IF! My question to the reader is given that a tick box diagnosis will be applied via the publishing of the DSM5 in a few short months, and given that that authentication will give doctors the legal rights to transition the child of any homophobic parent and, given that nearly every single child that is diagnosed with GID will grow up to be gay or lesbian, should quashing the legal medical legitimacy of GID and its barbaric treatment become the center piece for gay and lesbian politics replacing the current cornucopia of gay marriage?

Has YouTube become a breeding ground and training manual for females (particularly young females) to transition?

Transition, Trust and the Medical Community
A trans female who had been injecting testosterone for six years and who had no plans of having top surgery found a lump in one of her testosterone soused breast. She sought help from the medical community only to have medical professionals confused by her female breast and male legal status let her and her life threatening condition fall straight through the cracks. Clearly this is a tragedy, no one should EVER be denied medical help, no matter their circumstance! But the trans patient presents as well as courts a medical conundrum.
The trans patient presents a problem to the medical community because in truth, transition is a lie. One CANNOT change sex, one merely changes appearance via hormones/surgeries and legal sex status. Therefore it is understandable that within the medical community that deals in biological truths based in scientific facts, there can be serious confusion between what they see in those biological facts and bought and paid for legal lies. It is unfortunate, but it is also understandable.
The trans patient courts medical troubles because their biology doesnt match their legal status. Their physical appearance alone would present some issues, but it is the change of sex on paper that REALLY creates the problem. The supposed cure for GID is changing the patients external appearance to how they would like themselves to be perceived by others, which transition tries to achieve. There is no reason to change anything else, such as pronouns, names, legal sex etc. These needless superficial changes only add to what can only be viewed as a medical jumble fuck.
But herein lies the real trouble with the trans patient and the medical community, the problem of trust! All of us when seeking medical help trust doctors have our best interests in mind, we trust that whatever is wrong they are going to heal us, with both medical expertise and compassion. But how can the trans person trust in a medical community that doles out drug treatments with no long term studies, treatments that can and do cause cancer, and whom literally mutilate selected healthy body parts? When medical ethics lapse (first do no harm) as they do with treating the trans patient, it is not only foolish for the trans person to trust medical professionals, it is down right ignorant!
The trans female in question, along with the cancer, also suffered from kidney failure and rheumatoid arthritis. Whether testosterone injections for six straight years created those medical issues or exacerbated them, we dont know. What we do know for sure is testosterone does cause breast cancer, and should not be given to any trans female who hasnt had her breast removed BEFORE beginning testosterone treatment! This trans female had no plans of ever having her breast surgically removed "I accept my body as I was born", clearly a lie, given she's been on testosterone for sex years. It was foolish for her to put any trust or expectation of help in the medical community when this same community put her on a drug regimen contrived to give her cancer! The medical community is responsible for creating the trans person, they cannot then be expected to help those in perpetual state transition.
