In the "Men in the women's bathroom" a common comment at me has been that I need therapy, I need medical help, I need Treatment.
Okay, I'll play along. What treatment?
So far the best given was a study of one patient, 20 years ago that was temporarily helped on a pill.
So what is the proper cure/treatment? Medical science has a path.
It starts with therapy. Then an evaluation. If it's determined you are suffering gender dysphoria you have treatment options.
One of which is to transition. I have spent 20 years looking for a way other than transitioning. From the commentary on this forum, obviously I missed some excellent treatments. People seem to think "Get help you need it" will fix the problem
What is that help? What is that treatment that fixes this?
Anyone?
Anyone of you have an answer?
Psychological. There is no doubt that there are those who have a disconnect between mind and body. That they believe it is their body that is "off", and insist that the rest of the world treat their "trans" as normal, is the problem.

"First, how do you know if someone is really ātransgenderā or not? Is it determined entirely by how they feel about themselves? If so, do you think that it might be hard to make laws based entirely on how people feel? Did you ever stop to consider that?
Second, whatās the difference between someone with āgender dysphoriaā (or, as it used to be called, āgender identity disorderā) and someone, say, with schizophrenia or āmultiple personality disorderā or some other psychological condition? In other words, if a man is a biological and chromosomal male but believes he is a woman, is he actually a woman, or does he have a psychological disorder?
If he does have a psychological disorder, should we try to treat that disorder or should we celebrate that disorder? And is it right to call biological males who feel they are women and biological women who feel they are men āfreedom fightersā? Perhaps thatās not the best use of the term?
If you are deeply offended that I would dare suggest that many transgender individuals are dealing with a psychological disorder, could you kindly point me to the definitive scientific literature that explains that these biological males are actually females and these biological females are actually males?
Iām not saying they donāt deserve compassion.
To the contrary, Iām saying thatās exactly what they deserve: compassion, not celebration."

"If any man who claims to be a woman can use womenās bathrooms and locker rooms, then how do we keep the sexual predators out? Iāve asked people to watch
this short video, giving examples of male heterosexual predators who donned womenās clothing to get into the ladiesā rooms, and Iād encourage you to watch it too.
Without HB2, rapists and voyeurs and pedophiles would have free access to our women and daughters in the safety of their own bathrooms and locker rooms.
Since you donāt like HB2 ā indeed, your guitarist called it an āevil virusā ā whatās your plan to keep the predators out? How can we tell the difference between a āgenuineā transgender person and a sexual predator? Since everyone knows you as āThe Boss,ā what would you do to keep the ladies and children safe?"
