Reply to comment by InvisibleTeeth in Transgender people in CT seeking medical care can face ignorance and stigma. Not at Hartford HealthCare’s new gender health center. by jr_reddit

Good, I support that. I support my taxes going to help people, I really do. It’s such a drastic decision to just change genders or whatever. I think they should get psychiatric assistance after too. They should get all the help they need. Everyone should, no matter their identity, sexual preference, or whatever.

Transgendered individuals have to go through mental therapy before medically transitioning to their preferred gender. They don't just wake up one day and decide to take hormones and become the opposite gender likes it's a fad. It's an identity they've dwelled on for many years. I agree with you that everyone can benefit from therapy. LGBTQIA+ have a high rate of suicide and mental health issues. They often run into obstacles obtaining care, which is what makes HHC's initiative so important.

I agree. They are afflicted. We are all subjected to the human condition

You realize a doctor is supervising these transitions, you can't just walk in and go into surgery because you want to.

It's a long, long transition. It occurs over many years for most people.

If everyone should get psychiatric assistance, are you currently doing so?

Everyone should have access to psychiatric(medical help). I don’t need or want psychiatric help. I’ve been very blessed in my 57 years.

Ah yes I can definitely see the wisdom and sanity in your comment history telling people to “blow it out your pussy” and that you “licked your mom’s booty”. My bad

But yeah, trans people especially should get help

Sounds like you need it more. Trust me, if someone has gotten to the point they are deciding to go through transition they have not made that decision lightly, and they are probably more stable in their thought process than you or others may think.
