Hey bro! I saw your post on Reddit and decided to watch your video! I would actually say that the Portuguese reality it's kinda like that(in the public system). First I had to see a psychologist and a psychiatrist for almost one year and a half to then being send to an endocrinologist where I could decide whether or not I wanted to do HRT. This whole process took me 2 years(I also froze my eggs so it took a lil bit longer, my first endo consultation was in June, but I was still waiting for the fertility treatment, so I had to wait a little bit longer). You no longer have to live your gender, however now everyone with one gender dysphoria diagnosis can receive treatment. Before that, we needed to have an evaluation for hormones and then two evaluations for surgery for them to be considered medical and not cosmetic. One of them was from the 'home' hospital and second one was from an external hospital. It was though, but sometimes I wonder if there ever starts to exist detransitioners. In Santa Maria, one of the main public hospitals in Portugal, there's not case report of detransitioners because it's a really strict system. Anyways, I liked your video!
Hi! i went through informed consent method because my state's insurance/poor person insurance/medicaid doesn't cover therapy entirely but covers informed consent entirely, which is a very poor method but a lot of the us is like this. I've lived as a man since 2017, i can not afford to pay out of pocket due to the job issues here. I was recommended directly through the ER to go to planned parenthood because i was going to off myself due to my inability to get therapy to go through the "non informed consent route" unfortunately the UK and US are absolutely nothing alike, nor the US or Canada.
Thanks for your input. I believe therapy should be available for basically everyone and making it automatically cost money is very harmful for mentally ill people who do not have brilliant health insurance or a lot of money to spare. When dysphoria causes so much mental problems, seeing a therapist could be helpful if there's nothing available for you or your budget right now. Unfortunately I feel uncomfortable talking to my psych nurse about my dysphoria because I have a hard time expressing it irl and there's not really such a thing as a "gender therapist" at least on the NHS. Whether therapy should be a barrier to HRT, I would lean towards saying no unless someone has a history of certain things such as psychotic delusions, dissociative identity disorder, etc. which can impede on ones' sense of self/identity. Especially since being trans is the cause of many trans peoples' mental problems and transitioning being the answer.
@@triplea5293 exactly! ashame america really hates the people who came from being poor and can't get out of being poor. they keep us mentally ill and under their control with the false beliefs that this is the "most free country in the world"
I'm baffled at saying that cosmetic surgery shouldn't be informed consent. Like... why not? If someone wants to get elf ears or something, informed consent is literally their own option. It's not like they can get a letter form a therapist saying they need it because... they don't. It's cosmetic. That's kind of the point. But people should be allowed to modify their bodies, regardless of the reason why. Whether that's getting a tattoo, going on hormones, getting their tongue split, we should all get to make use of the informed consent model, because we shouldn't have to get someone else's permission to make our own medical decisions.
So how come so many people that are detransitioning are speaking about how they were not informed about all the health risks involved with transitioning, such as the negative affects from the hormone therapy and how they are left sterile when they were told it could be reversed, the mental side effects, etc. Also, how can it be considered life saving healthcare when people are statistically more likely to commit s*icide post transition?
I don't think it's as common as it's made out to be. also, as stated, if you are planning to take a life altering substance, whether for cosmetic or medical reasons, you should take the initiative to research yourself as well as find a competent endo. Also I would love to see the source of your 2nd claim.
@@triplea5293 80 percent of all people who decide to transition wind up detransitioning. And 48 percent of those people claim this in studies conducted thus far
@@kirsty9572 www.gendergp.com/detransition-facts/ here's a source that also debunks the study you are probably on about. Desistance means someone who socially transitioned (aka never had surgery, puberty blockers or HRT) and later detransitioned to their agab (this is the definition supported by the detrans subreddt as well, www.reddit.com/r/detrans/comments/11sfyvu/the_rdetrans_2023_screened_demographic_summary/?). Detransition implies medical transition took place. In terms of transition regret, the above source addresses statistics on this too and often regret only comes from the treatment (usually surgery) itself, not because they aren't trans anymore. The study doesn't differentiate between children who have and have not taken any medical transition treatments.

Sure, but it's not medical like being trans so non dysphorics should pay like cosmetic body mods and surgery
@@triplea5293 There are non-dysphoric trans people??? Yikes to all of that.

@Triple A have you looked at the who? Or the cdc? Or the fda guidelines for these medications? The information and data is all there honey.
