@WesselyS I hope you’ve found the background to the terms useful so far in understanding why the Pathways Trial Protocol reads like a dog’s breakfast. There is one final part of the snapshot that hasn’t been explained yet though: ‘gender incongruence’ and its alleged relationship to ‘gender dysphoria’, the whole underlying premise of the Protocol. During 2008 intense lobbying of the APA by adults who reject their sexed bodies was in full steam. A 2008 petition with 9,500 signatures denounced Kenneth Zucker’s appointment to the APA, accusing him of “Reparitive and Adversion therapy” because he wouldn’t accept their delusional beliefs. thepetitionsite.com/2/objection-to… Other petitions soon followed, and the APA sought compromise over reality (humans can’t change sex so compromise was never going to work). In February 2010 the Gender Subworkgroup for the DSM-5 (led by Zucker) proposed that ‘gender identity disorder’ be changed to ‘gender incongruence’. This proposal was originally welcomed by some, as it was deemed lacking in pathologisation so therefore considered acceptable. It was denounced by others who wished for the removal of any diagnosis whatsoever, declaring that rejecting one’s sexed body should be treated similarly to same sex attraction. researchgate.net/publication/23… However, this then created a problem. How could hormones and cosmetic surgery, the very means to facilitate a rejection of one’s sexed body and pretend to be the opposite sex, be provided to or accessed by someone on insurance without a diagnosis? Jack Drescher confirmed this history when he stated, “Our workgroup concluded, however, that removal of the diagnosis could be quite problematic because in order to access services, you need a diagnosis. We were caught between access to care and the stigma associated with a psychiatric diagnosis. Stigma is not reason enough to remove a mental disorder diagnosis if one needs one.” Drescher reflects Arendt’s ‘banality of evil’ when describing one of the moments that changed everything, “One way to reduce stigma was to remove the word "disorder." We changed the name from gender-identity disorder to gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria was a preexisting term in the literature. Many people who work in this area are aware of the term, and many people who opposed having a gender-identity disorder diagnosis were happy with the name change.” medscape.com/viewarticle/88… The temporary term originally coined by Fisk to justify ‘psychosurgery’ for adults was then written into the DSM-5 with a new meaning, “a psychiatric diagnosis that refers to the psychological distress that results from an incongruence between one’s sex assigned at birth and one’s gender identity”. psychiatry.org/patients-famil… You might recall ‘gender identity’ originated with Stoller who claimed it meant when a child’s understanding they are sexed becomes ‘unalterable’. The APA’s definition of ‘gender dysphoria’ is therefore basically saying that it is the ‘distress’ associated with comprehending that you are only ever one sex, when you want to be the other. This eliminates the distinction between adults and children, which is a clear and obvious safeguarding issue. So why would a child imagine it wants to be the other sex? There are thousands of reasons. They might be envious of the other sex. They might be anxious about their own sex. They might be told lies by adults that playing with a certain toy means they are the opposite sex. They might be told lies by adults that liking a certain colour means they are the opposite sex. They might be trying to please adults who wished for an opposite sex child. They might be told by adults that it is not acceptable for them to feel love for those who are the same sex. They might be frightened of all the tragic adult experiences they have heard about based upon sex. They might be frightened of motherhood. They might be frightened of fatherhood. They might be groomed into the idea of being the opposite sex to cover up an adult’s perversion or crime. The list is endless. The more important question though is why would a child believe it’s possible to change sex, or that pretending to be the opposite sex is a great idea? The answer is because an adult said they could. Instead of facing these normal human growing pains, children are being lied to by the adults. Adults such as those who wrote the diagnostic criteria have claimed that giving children what they believe they want will make them feel better. It won’t. They are being set up to fail. Because humans can’t change sex. Adults in positions of power have shifted the burden of responsibility for knowing what is best from the adult to the child. This has given them the guilt free means of exploiting the child’s lack of knowledge for their own benefit. In 2013 WPATH decided to focus instead on getting Zucker’s categorisation of ‘gender incongruence’ included in the ICD-11. share.google/ADKxqHiKjctTDQ… It was adopted in 2019, and implemented in 2022: who.int/standards/clas… Hence why it’s now in your Protocol, as the NHS adheres to the WHO’s ICD-11. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC92… “PATHWAYS is a programme of inter-related research studies whose ultimate aim is to improve the care of children and young people (CYP) presenting to clinical services with gender incongruence. Gender incongruence is characterised by a marked and persistent disparity between an individual’s experienced gender and the birth-registered sex, which may lead to a desire to ‘transition’, to live and be accepted as a person of the experienced gender - 1.” “Gender incongruence may be more distressing during significant transitional life stages such as adolescence, which can lead to gender dysphoria - 2.” 1. World Health Organization. International classification of diseases (11th revision). 2022. 2. Association AP. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). DSM-5 Criteria for Gender Dysphoria: American Psychiatric Publishing; 2013.” Gender incongruence used to mean a rejection of the cultural stereotypes associated with being either male or female. It used to be celebrated as it facilitated women to reject the pressure to focus on their looks and permitted men to pay more attention to how they looked. It is often embraced by those who are same sex attracted. What if a child who rejects sexed stereotypes eventually just ends up being gay? Instead, your Protocol is essentially saying that if a child rejects sexed stereotypes, then we should see if giving them drugs that corrupt normal puberty will make them happier. The reason why children think this will work is because adults have told them the lie that these drugs will help them pretend to be the opposite sex, which is what they need to do if they reject sexed stereotypes. Can you see how insane this is? None of these terms are consistent. None of these terms have been clearly defined. All of them are euphemisms to give the illusion humans can change sex. This means all of them are political, and all of them are in your Protocol. Please don’t use them to justify an experiment on children @WesselyS. Please stop the trial instead.
