For the fuck's sake. We've seen with detransition stories what kind of people CAN show up in gender clinics besides your classic, old school transsexual. People, who are so traumatized that transition is their form of dissociation from their traumatized self and self-harm. People, who are bombarded with misogyny to the point they feel uncomfortable presenting female and will do everything not to be "a girl".

But aside from it that's harmful for genuine trans people themselves. All their problems are believed to come from one thing - gender dysphoria - and transition should fix all of that. So that's why these therapists avoid exploring the other issues their trans-identified patient shows. Even if they may suffer from ED, depression, anxiety unrelated to gender dysphoria. But then transition doesn't fix these problems and the trans individuals are left so confused and worried about themselves. Hell, what if some detransition because they don't know what can help them? These professionals should focus on this.
