Hi all, My name is Dave, and I'm a psychologist/counselor specializing in transgender youth issues. I subscribe entirely to the Harry Benjamin diagnosis and standards of care. Anyone still denying that HBS is a legitimate diagnosis is ignoring the overwhelming evidence introduced in the last decade, and the judgement of doctors and medical researchers world wide. I suspect that most of those in denial are in the psychological community, which stands to lose an entire class of clients. Tough beans folks - transgenderism is NOT a psychopathological illness and never was. The HBS diagnoses is only controversial among those who stand to lose income from it's reclassification.
