I just learned something amazing about increase in gender affirming surgeries. Jon Uhler in an interview on YouTube, states it is impossible to change biological sex. He would ban gender affirming surgeries. He treats sexual offenders in prisons and also treats survivors of sexual abuse. survivorsupport.net. He states the real boom in treatments occurred in 2013 when the new DSM-5 was published. It contained a new dx for gender dysphoria--allowing drugs and surgeries to be covered by insurance. If these treatments were not affordable, there would be far fewer of them. Uhler states that many of the presenting symptoms for females wishing to transition are the same as symptoms of sexual abuse survivors--and gender surgeries are another form of sexual abuse! He deplores the lack of mental health treatment for this group. NOTE: Uhler is a specialist in diagnosing/treating psychopathy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwgoIx7vPTs&t=6s
