News
Several new groups/organizations have formed to question the safety of social and medical transition of minors and young adults with gender dysphoria. These concerns are all in line with the concerns listed on the Gender Health Query website.
Rethinking Identity Medicine is based in the United States and says they will focus on best mental health practices and standards of care.
The MISSION of ReIME is to promote the highest standards of care and ethics in the area of identity medicine for children and youth. To this end, we gather, curate and distribute up-to-date evidence-based information on best practices that ensure individualized, developmentally appropriate standards of care and treatment related to gender and identity non-conformity, variations and dysphoria. Our GOAL is to better inform individuals, friends, family members, communities including clinicians and policy makers at all levels who are seeking information to best safeguard the long term interests and physical autonomy of such children and youth.
We support the right of minors and young people to explore identities, including sexuality and gender that are developmentally appropriate. And that care is required to prevent prematurely foreclosing such exploration that may lead to permanent, invasive medical procedures.
Gender Identity Challenge is a group in Sweden and Norway.
Ever more parents feel that their child or adolescent wants to change their gender without previous warning. We wonder what has brought this about and how to deal with this phenomenon called
Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria - ROGD
KIRJO is a group in Finland.
The transgender phenomenon is based on gender ideology which harms our society in many ways. It is now time to start the conversation about gender ideology. Is gender dysphoria the new anorexia?
PS. The word “Kirjo” is a Finnish equivalent to the English term “spectrum” (of color or types of people). You can follow and join us here.
Baywater Support is a group of parents from Britain and Ireland who wish to have a more cuatious approach to medicalizating minors:
We are a group of parents in the UK and Ireland who have been brought together by our experiences of parenting children with gender dysphoria or who have declared a transgender identity.
Having looked for the best support for our children, we have found only the 'affirmative' approach to their new identity, backed up by affirmative environments in schools and elsewhere. We've found little scope to explore the new identity as a young person's solution to trauma or distress, as a response to the challenges of adolescence, or to understand its role within underlying mental health or developmental contexts
A new consumer rights organization called Gender Care Consumer Advocacy Network has formed to support people questioning their gender, trans people, and detransitioners seeking mental health and medical services.
Their Mission:
Our mission is to empower recipients of gender transition-related care to become healthy and whole.
They have created a patients bill of rights:
GCCAN is a consumer rights group for any person who has previously or is currently receiving gender care related services. Our aim is to empower consumers of gender-transition related care to get the best health care possible.
GCCAN was founded by gender care consumers because we determined that the level of care we receive during or after gender care treatment is inadequate to achieve healthy mental and physical outcomes. Members of our group have been subject to harms from inadequate gender care services, and our goal is to reduce or mitigate similar harms to other consumers. The current delivery of care does not match established best-practice protocols. Established institutions often fail to balance the interests of consumers with the interests of gender care providers. We seek improvements to accountability, provider education, holistic care protocols, medical research, and public policies. We deserve better.
GCCAN is a registered 501(c)(3) consumer-run nonprofit organization that is non-partisan and non-ideological. Our membership represents many perspectives and experiences, and GCCAN is inclusive to all gender care consumers. As a result, our focus is on every consumer's wellbeing. We advocate for more informed consumers and better gender health care, under the presumption that the best outcome is different for each person. Our Consumer Bill of Rights outlines the necessary improvements to gender care that we seek.
