As a transgender woman, I cannot stress enough the importance of this subject. It is all too common for doctors and nurses to be misinform or uninformed about how hormonal therapy and sex reassignment surgery impacts the body. For example, I once needed emergency surgery for appendicitis and the surgeon was unaware of the heightened risks for blood clots.
It's so important and this is only my first of several planed videoes on the topic... Because we need a focus on it so we can respect the identity and still treat the biology.
Dignity and compassion does not mean indulging people’s delusions to the detriment of their actual biological wellbeing. The world has gone crazy with the gender-identity dogma/ideology being forced vs. biological reality. I do not envy those healthcare professionals who have a modicum of integrity who are having to deal with these self-imposed health risks and manifestly harmful ideologies. Gender dysphoria needs understanding and psychotherapy, not hormones and surgery, but that approach won’t enrich doctors and hospitals by creating lifelong patients. :-/
Having worked a lot with this topic, I partially agree without agreeing if that makes sense. Before hormones and surgery, a lot of physical and psychological evaluation is needed because of the physical health risks as well as the mental health risks. However, as a nurse in the ED, my job is not to judge but to base my treatment on seeing the whole person, including their identity, if I am to treat them with the greatest success, but as a former psych nurse I'm concerned about the long term health risk by denying as well as ensuring transgender identity at least when it comes to medical procedures because both aspects carry risk for the life and well being of the patient.
@@ayreoneill9202”Empirically, evidence based” according to whom? There’s a lot of biased research and actual fraud taking place in medical/drug research. I’ve seen enough heartbreaking detransitioner testimonies to throw a healthy amount of skepticism in my mind about the wisdom of hormone therapies and surgeries designed to feminize an XY person or masculinize an XX. These “treatments” have been shown to cause great harm-chronic pain & infection among those. I’m not talking about therapeutic doses of hormones designed to correct deficiencies (though even those can have dangerous side effects, eg. HRT for menopausal women connected with increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease, stroke, etc.).
Please tell me how it is understanding to try to deny me the right to do with my body as I please? If there were any other option, don't you think we'd take it? Do you really think people just choose to transition for attention or something? You should do some research on what exactly is involved in obtaining care now before you start preaching all high and mighty. You might not be able to fathom what it's like, you might not believe in it, but I'm telling you it's real. Life lived with dysphoria is life on mute. You can't connect with others, you don't care about your body or well being, you hate yourself to your core because you abandoned yourself during childhood, and because society tells you you should, it's like someone else is living your life. When the external is brought in alignment with the internal, peace is achieved. You telling me I'm delusional is dismissive, regardless of your supposed "understanding". Your comment is mean spirited, and you should spend some time with some actual trans people before casting your stones.
Yes, HRT is evidence-based, but so is surgery we should make sure it's only given to those people it will help, I have seen many people who have tried to take their own life due to the fact they were allowed to transition without proper psychological guidance and in many cases, the wanting to transition is a symptom of something else that needs to be tackled first. I would never say we should ban it people may live their life as they want I'm an advocate for propper psychological and physical examination before messing with the hormone balance since it can lead to severe mental health problems, but so can denial, and experience if health care provides take it serious and show people that we do it for their health concerns both mentally and physically then in many cases the ease starts to set in and we can take our good time in evaluating and catch those where their body dysmorphia is only a symptom and let those where it is the problem get on and do what gives them the best help.
if we are taking about transsexuals can we not put dragqueens, crossdressers and gay images kind of offensive. use like trans models like Tula or Roberta close or famous people like kim petras or nikita dragon for your images. trans women work hard for our bodies we don't want to be associated with trnsvestites or drag performers.

Psychotherapy should be a first line treatment but cross sex hormones are an empirically evidence based therapy.

I will take it into consideration next time I make a video on the topic, I just have some copywriter issues when it comes to footage.
