Gender Dysphoria
In recent years, there has been an explosion in the number of children and young people who diagnose themselves as gender dysphoric, or trans. Due to the rapidly rising numbers and various pressures on the system, patients are increasingly likely to be offered life-altering medication and/or surgical treatments, often with little exploration of their emotional world. In the UK, and worldwide, there is a growing tendency to refer them on to 'specialist gender services' almost as soon as they express any confusion or distress about their biological sex or gender identity.
Many who present as gender dysphoric have complex needs with comorbid problems such as autism, histories of abuse or trauma, As so little is yet known or understood regarding this increase in gender incongruent patients, it seems precipitous to proceed onto physical treatments before any assessment work is undertaken.
