A couple of days ago I wrote about an article that said that there was no medical evidence supporting gender dysphoria, well this week the American Medical Association has come out supporting us with a trans policy.
This is really a major shift in thinking!
I remember when the norm was trans women had to be attracted only to men and that is one of the reasons why we got the reputation of being liars because we would say anything to get our hormones and surgery.
Now the doctors are finally realizing that nature doesn’t do things as either or but tries experimenting all different types of combinations.

'Broadening how gender identity is defined within medicine'

The country's largest organization of doctors is adopting a series of transgender policies, with the goal of expanding how "gender identity is defined within medicine."
The American Medical Association, a professional organization of over 200,000 doctors, is holding its annual meeting this week at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago.
The House of Delegates, which sets policy for the association, announced changes dealing with transgender issues on Monday, including a policy stating that gender is "incompletely understood."
"Acknowledging that individuals' gender and sexual identities do not always fit neatly into binary paradigms, delegates to the 2017 AMA Annual Meeting in Chicago took several actions that support broadening how gender identity is defined within medicine and how transgender patients are treated by society," the association said.
The group said the new policies are focused on transgender individuals and the "many others who do not identify with one particular gender."
