I expected vigorous debate on this issue within my community of therapists. But instead, I found silence. There was very little serious engagement with the issue of gender dysphoria – the mental health condition one must be diagnosed with in order to legally or medically transition. People diagnosed with gender dysphoria frequently have other diagnoses, including autism, or may have experienced previous trauma. My training institute, along with my governing body, the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) appeared to ascribe to gender ideology – that sex is not binary.
