If someone breaks a bone in your PE class, do you treat them or do you send them to a specialist? Why or why not?Yes, I do teach health

That’s your answer?I am one of the first responders at school, so I do the first aid for whatever injury until they can get professional help. Not just in my class.
so you acknowledge that doctors know more about the body than you do. Why are psychiatrists different? Because you want them to be? Do you pick and choose what professional help to offer?I am one of the first responders at school, so I do the first aid for whatever injury until they can get professional help.

Psychiatrists are for pussies, don't be a pussy!so you acknowledge that doctors know more about the body than you do. Why are psychiatrists different? Because you want them to be? Do you pick and choose what professional help to offer?

Exactly. Because that's what you're trained to do. You don't know how to perform surgery.I don't offer any professional help. Just basic first aid.

Likewise, you are trained to understand gender dysphoria. You don't know how to treat it, diagnose it, or really understand it. You have not read about it; that's just a lie, or what you've read is disinformation. I promise you, the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association know way, way, way more about all types of mental health challenges.
Why is it so hard for people to realize that they aren't as knowledgeable about the human body as MDs? You had an opportunity to go to med school; for whatever reason, you didn't take it. So now you're a PE teacher. The world needs PE teachers. I would never tell you how to run an indoor hockey game for 30 kids when it's raining outside. Why do you want to tell my wife how to diagnose her patients?
You don’t have to agree but you also have no experience or expertise on the topic. You can treat it however you want. Why do you care what other people do?I agree with you and your wife that gender dysphoria is likely a real psychological condition. My only objection to your position is that we (society) should be forced to deny simple reality. I am not trained to understand gender dysphoria, but I have read a ton about it. I think it exists, I just don't agree with how we treat it.
I'm sorry. Deny reality how? You just said gender dysphoria is real. So what are you expected to deny? There's a condition that you admit is real. There are treatment protocols that are very effective (notwithstanding that bullshit in the UK). What's your issue? You're accepting the Dx but feel qualified to opine on the proper Tx?My only objection to your position is that we (society) should be forced to deny simple reality.
But if you are not trained, then what makes your opinion regarding treatment relevant? I personally trust the experts.I agree with you and your wife that gender dysphoria is likely a real psychological condition. My only objection to your position is that we (society) should be forced to deny simple reality. I am not trained to understand gender dysphoria, but I have read a ton about it.

@UNCatTechPsychiatrists are for pussies, don't be a pussy!
what reality is being denied, if you understand that sex and gender are not the same?I agree with you and your wife that gender dysphoria is likely a real psychological condition. My only objection to your position is that we (society) should be forced to deny simple reality. I am not trained to understand gender dysphoria, but I have read a ton about it.

Thanks. That's why I normally use that emoji to say I don't understand. Knowing your post though, I didn't expect it to be negative toward mental health.@UNCatTech
This was a joke, highlighting how, unfortunately, many republicans believe it to be true. That is, they think any kind of mental health condition, seeking help for a mental health condition, etc., is a sign of weakness.
wouldn't see this in trumpmerica. (and Yes Halifax does Pride In July. there was a reason for it, but I can't remember what it was)
