It’s gone a bit beyond the topic of kids now. It’s about Oliver writing-off all forms of transsexualism as a mental disorder, which I can’t agree with.
Gender dysphoria’s only diagnosed when the trans. person experiences ‘clinically-significant’ distress over the lack of congruence between their personal sense of gender-identity and physiological sex (especially if they’re self-harming). It’s not actually a synonym for transsexualism, nor does every trans. person experience it.
I’m not arguing with the doctors on that.
