..No, not really. Gender dysphoria is really not the concern of the medical field right now, at all, which I have tried to point out twice. Social sciences may or may not contribute in a negative sense to this problem, I'm not even arguing against that conclusion. If you wish to address the problem of gender dysphoria, then work on the factors that contribute to its existence - regardless of semantic discussion. The performance indicators of US health care are abominable compared to what it costs per capita. If mental issues play in the hands of gender dysphoria, as argued in this discussion, would you not rather address the systemic flaws of the US that accomodate the existence of mental health problems? Sounds to me like health care accessibility, education accessibility (and safety) and financial equity would go a long way to solve the problem you present. Maybe vote Warren or OAC next time around? ^^

The social scientists who obsess over 'addressing the systemic flaws' are the systemic flaws. They are the same activists who create the revolving door prisons, shut down psych wards, put men into womens prisons, release murderers on suspended sentences and spend taxpayer bucks on gender reassignment surgery for homeless junkies. By presenting every cultural issue as a social service issue they've created the dysfunctional state we have now. We've had endless research and activism about criminal justice reforms and seen them put into action and the result is skyrocketing crime. Trump sends the national guard to DC and murders drop to zero.

I'd say that every ounce of DEI policies, gender therapy, safe injection sites, decriminalization, etc- is an ounce of harm.

Never have I seen so much misattribution bias in a singular post. I turn nauseous by your dismissal of the systemic problems by linking it to events that are, quite frankly, very infrequent compared to other issues that are the result of systemic errors.
The US health care system is very sick, and your government successfully tells you that it does not need fixing. Way to play into their hands. I'll leave it at that.

I don't think I've seen anyone claim the US healthcare system 'does not need fixing' in the past 20 years or so. Politicians from both parties campaign on ideas to fix it.
The progressives have advocated a whole ton of reforms on social services and healthcare that generally make things worse. Hence, they are the systemic flaw.

Has been so good so far!

Gender dysphoria doesn't seem to be a lower class issue, though. The fact is that these people have access to medical care, and expensive medical care at that, and the rates of diagnosis have skyrocketed. That implies a failure of diagnosis or a failure of treatment. A glance at a breakdown on where these diagnoses are occurring points specifically to relatively wealthy, relatively educated communities, which enjoy access to healthcare well above the national norm.
