In my last role as a school nurse there was a girl who, at the age of 11 told her parents she wanted to be a boy. So,, the parents did what they could and got help from various doctors and experts, and over the course of the next 3 years I got to kno...

I remember a few years ago I got torn to shreds on this forum because I said that as a male nurse, I generally don't catheterize women. In fact all the places I've worked, from New Zealand, Switzerland, England and Australia, what generally happens i...

This is not true. The person doing the study was clear about its limitations but did give valuable data for further study. It even cited one case of a PE teacher coming out as trans, and half a dozen of his students (female) deciding to do the same. ...

To say gender identity and sexual orientation are completely different is utterly wrong. How the hell can you say something so utterly wrong. For the entirety of human history people have not needed a DSM or psychiatrists to show this.

You are indoctrinated and it's and any further time spent in dialogue with you is a waste of time. You are part of the problem. You are the reason we are at war. Yes, there is a war going on, and it's a war that is targeting our schools and our child...

No, you're wrong. You're also very judgmental of the psychologist who decline these patients. You're basically choosing to ignore the political agenda around trans issues, and as a result are causing more harm. Think about that for a moment - you are...

There's a difference between name changes, and calling someone the gender they are not. There's also a difference in calling someone who is genuinely suffering from the condition known as gender dysphoria by their preferred gender, and some confused ...

When a person suffering from anorexia nervosa tells you they think they are fat - do you agree with them to make them feel better? Of course not. That is why I am reluctant to call a confused teen the opposite gender to what they are.

Of course not, but as a nurse, well, no, you won't go far as a male in a obs/gynae role

Are you not aware of the pressure out there? Many doctors and psychologists are refusing to see people with gender issues because they know they risk losing their license if they suggest that a person is not trans? Here's an article I found on i...

Actually, I'm more referring to a nurse's preference.

What if a female patient who wants a catheter, requests a female nurse, and the male looking nurse says they identify as a woman. This may sound silly, but I had a 40yr female colleague (at least she looked female) tell me that gender is a 'fluid soc...

Just wondering how much documentation is taking nurses and doctors away from patients. I ask this because I was talking to a friend back home in NZ about the good old days when we worked there together (over 20yrs now) and I naievely suggested it wou...

One girl is struggling with her gender, and now 3 girls who are all friends of the first girl, think they are trans and have asked the doctor for hormones. Two of these girls have issues eg self harm (cutting) and playing with eating disorders. It ap...

As soon as someone posts results from a study you don't like, you find a reason to discredit them, and choosing to attack someone's study because they're christian is the height of bigotedness.

You still don't get it. Gay people insist they're born that way, and now people on the left are saying it's not so. I have no idea either way, but I do know it's not a spectrum, at least for most people I know.

Because you live in a little bubble that feeds each other's delusions.

I'm curious... Are you convinced you were born gay? I assume you do. Does it upset you to find out the liberal left are now preaching that the gender you are attracted to is a spectrum as well - your own base of support is now contradicting you.

and has lots of qualifications and experience as a clinical psychologist

He's far from discredited, and is one of the most popular people speakers in the world right now.

It's odd, but ALLNURSES won't let me post the link where you can watch as a professor from one your universities says on national TV there is no biological difference.

Well, this guy is a 'expert' in trans stuff, and on national tv

here you go

Tell me where I said I do not believe in gender dysphoria? I did say teaching children that gender is a social construct, and gender is spectrum we all move up and down, is harmful to children.

Are you actually serious? How about this biological difference. XX and XY - tell me which one belongs to which gender.
