Disclosing genderqueer identity for medical professionals - 0 views

  •  
    Many nonbinary and genderqueer identities face a difficult time when attempting to transition. While transgender health care framework is available for dealing with such instances, many health professionals simply are not aware or educated on the subject to accommodate to the needs of nonbinary or genderqueer people. The lack of awareness on the subject thus can cause complications or obstacles for people as people can be denied access to these services if the health professional believes that the person is not transgender.

Gender Dysphoria: DSM-5 Reflects Shift In Perspective On Gender Identity | Huffington Post - 0 views

  •  
    In the recent DSM-5, the manual mental health professions use to diagnose a disorder, 'Gender Identity Disorder' has been renamed 'Gender Dysphoria' in order to make an attempt in changing the current perspective people have on gender. This change resembles that of which homosexuality was dropped as a disorder from the DSM in the 70's. While this is a huge strive for the right direction in the transgender movement, some changes still need to be made. The diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria only focuses on binary gender identities and does not show acknowledgement of nonbinary identities that some transgender people label as. A diagnoses is crucial for legal purposes, so if a nonbinary individual cannot be diagnosed they may not be able to access hormones for their transition or the legal changes they wish to make.
