The most important thing is seeing a competent clincial psychologist. Anyone can call themselves a therapist and provide psychotherapy. Psychologists like physicians are licensed and are held to high standards.

My wife has a student who now wants to be a boy/man. This person is late teens. But other than the physical efforts to appear more male, she/he doesn't act particularly male and doesn't interact with people the way men do, but still behaves more like a woman. Maybe that is socialization and living 18 years as a girl, but . . .

I won't pretend to understand any of this, but it is hard to understand that this isn't a psychological condition for all but a few people with some real genetic or developmental dysfunction.

My interest meter is pegged at zero!

Well thanks for posting that! Are you the guy that posts in the Football thread indicating you do not watch football??

Unfortunately, there's going to be a lot of this in the next few years, I think. Most of it we won't hear about.
