Oyster_Lust@lemmy.world 11 months agoWhile I’m not opposed to a community consisting of trans only, I would rather find a community (on Lemmy or anywhere else) of family and/or psychologists that have dealt with this and are willing to answer questions and give feedback on what has and has not been successful in dealing with these issues.
I really want to avoid the politics of it. I am trying hard to seek out help for my child, but I’m finding it impossible to find nonpolitical help.
Part of the issue it seems like people are having in this thread is that it’s really unclear what you mean by nonpolitical help.
I’ve never experienced any communities calling gender dysphoria beautiful, but I also see that idea as distinct from acknowledging it as a real problem that affects people. I don’t think it’s in any way political to talk about the fact that gender affirming care is well supported by medical research.
So, you want actual soundly-minded medical professionals who know what they’re talking about, and not just a bunch of nose-pierced gen Zers on tiktok.
I approve.

There is literally nothing political about being trans. Just like there is nothing political about being a woman, being black or being gay.
The only politics is the people that want to limit the choices and freedoms of those (and others) . If you see trans people talking about what helped them as "political" then you are stuck in culture war BS.
