Considering how gender identity disorder / gender dysphoria is currently being classified as a mental illness under DSM-5 for clinically significant distress associated with the condition, what have you seen in your institution in treating such individuals? Dr. Paul McHugh, University Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry and a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University, for instance, has stated that such individuals need psychiatric/psychosocial, not surgical help. In your own professional experience, have you come across successful cases in helping patients recognize their birth gender, removing their disordered identity thoughts, and fixing such deviancy?

The standard of treatment of patients with truly diagnosed gender dysphoria is to do the opposite of that.

Loaded BS. Don't see any reason to even address this question posed by a first-time poster.

I've actually met university professors who openly say that transgender people are intrinsically disordered, being gay is a sin, etc. Please search under my reddit username (and/or also, my collegeconfidential username) for my post history. Paging splik.
