I love the way this lunatic compares transphobia to racism. I don’t think he’s gonna like it when he finds out that most black people are are unapologetically disgusted by transgenders.

He believe all he wants that black people are transphobic because of white supremacy, but if he encountered a transphobic black man, that man is going to laugh at the woke doctor until said woke doctor is on the floor crying.

Undoubtedly true but while said doctor was crying on the floor they would not be cursing the "transphobic black man" but the "White supremacist system" that forced the black man to think that way.

Yeah, some people cannot be helped. Wokeism is a mental illness.

I just hope I live long enough to see "doctors" like this destroyed by malpractice suits.

Transphobia is only more socially acceptable because they scream transphobia at everything so a lot of people just don't give a shit anymore.

The boy who cried wolf and all that.

For the mods, Dr Jack Turban is a gay psych pushing transgenderism to kids

It would still be the same with race. Pushing an ideology on someone during therapy is malpractice. At most a therapist might suggest how a view is biased or incomplete.

The Psychology Today site actually allows you to search for therapists in your area based on race. I hear about plenty of black people only wanting to discuss issues with other black people. I had a friend that wanted a black therapist. I know woman friends who want woman therapists. I would feel better seeing a gay male therapist, depending on what the situation was about. Some people aren't picky. More power to them.

As with dating, I honestly don't care if its racist or transphobic or misogynist or whatever to not share your intimate physical, social, or psychological side with someone. Life is too goddamn short. This whole coronavirus thing and the social isolation really drove that home for me, giving me a chance to reflect on how little I've really lived for myself. I want to make priorities about who I want in my life, and that is mainly other gay men. On the flip side, I've had to come to terms with the fact that people don't wanna deal with me because I'm white/male/cis/whatever. As long as they let me live my life in peace, I am happy to extend that same respect to them. We cannot all be friends, and the outraged shrieks from grown adults who want to micromanage every social interaction between other grown ass adults to make sure everyone is "playing nice" should be ignored.

But aren't clients routinely asked if they would prefer a male or female therapist? I think that's been standard practice for DECADES now? Not wanting a trans therapist just seems like an extension of this.

Furthermore, while therapists may of course subscribe to various woo-woo beliefs, those don't necessarily require that the client follow suit (or at least pretend to). Because things like astrology, or past-lives, or feng shui aren't inherently dependent on others' perceptions. Meaning that everyone else doesn't automatically have to participate in, or even be aware of, your belief in X. But transgenderism is ABOUT others' perceptions-- specifically, dictating them: everyone else is supposed to be unable to perceive the (readily-apparent) fact of a trans-person's biological sex. Which essentially comes down to self-gaslighting. How can allowing such a person to act as a therapist possibly be ethical? For many clients, it will constitute a continuation of the very type of psychological abuse they've been traumatized by, and are seeking help in recovering from.

The people so offended that others might not be keen on a therapist demanding they agree with an ideology are the same people who’d flip their lid if a therapist was demanding people accept Christian dogma in sessions. The mental gymnastics these people do to justify their cult are astounding.
