There is an imperceptible barrier between (1) a psychiatrist "understanding" his patient's mental disorder and (2) the same psychiatrist upholding the "right" of that mental patient to assert his/her delusion/dissociation/psychosis as valid and a reality.

There is an imperceptible barrier between (1) a psychiatrist "understanding" his patient's mental disorder and (2) the same psychiatrist upholding the "right" of that mental patient to assert his/her delusion/dissociation/psychosis as valid and a reality.
That vanishingly thin barrier is called the "integrity of a medical professional" and desire to protect both the patient AND the general public.
I maintain that ALL the medical professionals (whether in psychiatry/psychology or in physical medicine) dealing with GD have acted totally unprofessionally and abandoned any notion which they might once have had of this subtle but vital distinction.
I should make clear that the mental patient's assertion may be real to the patient, but certainly not to the general public. It is the psychiatrist's job to make this distinction.
Another way of expressing this: GD psychiatrists are too close to their patients.
I think that "Isaac" is a detransitioning young woman (who has had surgery to her arm). In her quiet, testosterone-lowered voice she is devastating in her attacks on the unfeeling, untrained "gender therapist".
I don't think so. Isaac is a male who took estrogen; he didn't want to age as a man and he grew breasts.
What interests me about this recording is that Isaac, as emotional as he is, nearly in tears, is far more articulate than his so-called therapist. The therapist stumbles over her words and really has nothing to say. This is where quality counseling can be of far more help than "therapy," if the counselor is willing to set forth practical advice and direction. Lazy therapists are all too willing to put clients on drugs, in this case hormones.
That is the most devastating thing I have ever seen or listened to about this. It should be posted everywhere. That therapist is psychotic in her refusal to deal with the young person's reality. Throughout the whole exchange she is doing nothing but covering her arse - the most caluclating, cold impervious, lying bitch ever. Disgusting doesn't cover it. I'm not in the better of having listened to it. But thank you so much for sharing it, everyone - EVERYONE - needs to hear this.

did you see the Youtube video put out by a young man named Isaac recently? he confronts his gender therapist and it’s really something to watch.
he says “you allowed me to dance around in my delusion”
Yes. It's posted on the "Our Duty" website. https://ourduty.group/2021/10/28/a-detransitioner-confronts-his-therapist/

Yes, I agree. I apologize for my mistake. Not sure what the arm surgery is about.... Doesn't matter.
No apology needed. I think he just required some sort of surgery, hopefully not from trying to commit suicide.

Sorry to say she is far more typical of therapists in the gender-affirming racket than people realise.
Yes, it is shocking. The fall of the gender house of cards can't come soon enough.
