Question
I have to reply this can you help me pleaseI really hope that the DSM removes Gender Dysphoria, to me it only extends the stigma surrounding this. As discussed by J second video when her sister uses the term disorder to describe to people when they asked about her sister. Jazz prefers not to use the word disorder but instead would opt to use the term special in place of. From a scientific standpoint I do understand the reasons that it would remain to a certain extent for the aid in understanding, shift our mindsets and how we view these things I think that the idea of normal is continuing to evolve and in doing that I can foresee it's eventual removal. From the opposite side of that I think that as we continue to As I watched both the first and second segment I had such sympathy for this little girl, it overall just doesn't seem fair. Being a child is hard enough with trying to fit in and figure out who it is you want to be/become. From the very start you could see that she knew pretty young that she knew what she wanted to be and for me it really struck a cord to know the hurdles she would have to jump to just to achieve the one thing that she had already come to accept about herself. I applaud her parents and wish that everyone who had an issue of any kind as a child had parents like these that would be so supportive and show the strength that they have. I think that they knew from the very start that this would be a tough trying road not only for Jazz but for them and their entire family as this really was bound to affect them all. I could see that for many the fears of ostracization would be overwhelming and that in turn they wouldn't have the support that they needed. If I were in this situation as a parent, I would hope that I was able to help either he/she in the same way, I also hope that in that were I to be put in this situation that I was financially sound, as it seems that in order to help my child live the life they feel they should be it boy/girl, as from the information put forward in the video assumes that the cost of Hormone replacement is disturbingly high. This breaks my heart in a way that many families put into this situation would not be able to afford these treatments which can significantly increase someones quality of life. As a follow up goes I think that she seems like a happy girl that seems to be interested in all the things a kid should be. I think that she still has a long road ahead of her because of the ignorance that our society has and our ability to try to cut out anything that deem not to be "normal". I think that she will make it through the tumultuous times ahead with the support she has from her family
Explanation / Answer
The conflict of gender dysphoria is where there would be conflict between the physical gender of the person with the assigned identity of the person and the gender that is identified by the person. These people are uncomfortable in their assigned gender and are also sometimes referred to as being uncomfortable in their bodies.
The reason that this has been included since the society and the practices considered as being normal were very different in the earlier times, with the society not being as open to the deviant se-xual identity of a person. This is evident since , that was the time Even homose-xuality was considered as being considered a condition. With an increase in revolts in favour of these different se-xual orientations, there has been an increased acceptance of homose-xuality.
The reason that it is being thought to be removed is because there is an increase in awareness of the se-xual orientations that a person has and this increase in awareness and acceptance has led to a rethinking of the condition.
In many cases, the parents support the children and allow them to live with the identity that they want to. This allows them the freedom to chose their own identity and gain a confidence in self and with being comfortable with their bodies. If there is a conflict between the assigned and the allocated gender, they become uncomfortable in their bodies and hence lose self confidence with the intention of changing later on in their life. Hence,parents should be supportive in these situations rather than adamant and conservative.
