>>11773665I have a number of links with which I can provide you if you'd like to further educate yourself on trans issues and why trans people are psychologically and medically valid. That being said, a fucking pedophile that claims he's an eight year-old girl is obviously lying and doing nothing but hurting the trans rights movement even more. Here are the links:
https://www.apa.org/topics/lgbt/transgenderAmerican Psychological Association pamphlet on transgender issues which affirms psychological consensus - that transgender people are valid, have existed throughout history, are subject to discrimination, and that being trans is not a mental disorder.
https://www.apa.org/about/policy/resolution-gender-identity.pdfA 2008 Gender Identity Resolution by the American Psychological Association which expands upon the premises listed in the annotation above and supports total equality for transgender people - affirmation of the institutional legitimacy of transness in psychology. This also includes citations to quite a few more peer-reviewed studies that back up their statements.
https://www.apa.org/about/policy/orientation-diversityIdentical to the above, essentially, except pertaining to trans and gender-nonconforming youth.
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/gender-dysphoria/The UK’s National Health Service report on gender dysphoria, which affirms the validity of trans people and discusses ways in which gender dysphoria can be alleviated, the best of which is said to often be social and physical transition.
http://www.apsa.org/content/2012-position-statement-attempts-change-sexual-orientation-gender-identity-or-genderThe American Psychoanalytic Association’s statement on gender identity, in which transness is validated, social stigma against transgender people is cited as a serious cause of harm and ‘reparative therapy’ - attempts to suppress one’s transness and force them to live as the gender they were assigned at birth - is medically invalid.
