Quote October 2008 Australian researchers have identified a significant link between a gene involved in testosterone action and male-to-female transsexualism - Terry Reed from the Gender Identity Research and Education Society said she was convinced of a biological basis to transsexualism. This study appears to reinforce earlier studies which have indicated that, in some trans people, there may be a genetic trigger to the development of an atypical gender identity'(see research link below). However, it may be just one of several routes and, although it seems extremely likely that a biological element will always be present in the aetiology of transsexualism, it's unlikely that developmental pathways will be the same in all individuals'. - June 17, 2008 NCTE Applauds the AMA Call for Removal of Financial Barriers to Care for Transgender Patients - The American Medical Association (AMA) passed a resolution yesterday calling for public and private health insurance coverage for treatment of gender identity disorder as recommended by the patient's physician. The declaration, known as Resolution 122 removing Financial Barriers to Care for Transgender Patients, was passed by the House of Delegates - AMA's primary decision-making body - at its annual conference in Chicago. Resolution 122 affirms the effectiveness of medical treatment for transsexuals and the right to appropriate treatment. It also names as discriminatory the categorical denial of health insurance coverage for psychotherapy, hormonal and surgical treatments for transgender patients, and reiterates the AMA's opposition to discrimination based on gender identity. The full text of the resolution is below. - An expert said the findings reported in BJU International reflected patients' determination to undergo the op. - America's physicians are saying that transgender people, like all others, deserve competent medical care based on what individual doctors and their patients determine is healthiest for each person, noted Mara Keisling, Executive Director of the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE). Doctors and patients, not insurance companies, should be making those choices. We are so glad that the AMA has taken a leadership role against the rampant discrimination that transgender people have faced for so many years in receiving appropriate medical care and equitable insurance coverage, health insurance coverage has been made into prominent national issue recently thanks in part to a three year campaign by the AMA.NCTE has prioritized ending health insurance discrimination against transgender people" RESOLUTION 122 Subject: Removing Financial Barriers to Care for Transgender Patients Whereas, Our American Medical Association opposes discrimination on the basis of gender identity Whereas, Gender Identity Disorder (GID) is a serious medical condition recognized as such in both the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th Edition (DSM-IV) and the International Classification of Diseases (10th Revision); and is characterized in the DSM-IV as a persistent discomfort with one\u0026#39;s assigned sex and with one primary and secondary sex characteristics, which causes intense emotional pain and suffering; and Whereas, GID, if left untreated, can result in clinically significant psychological distress, dysfunction, debilitating depression and, for some people without access to appropriate medical care and treatment, suicidality and deathWhereas, The World Profession for Transgender Health, Inc.

Mayor life-changes such as transitioning require support and information to enable an individual carrying a birth condition to live in harmony, to fuse their mind and body and to be able to live a 'normal' life before during and after their journey rather than to just remain in a state of confusion and isolation. To achieve that I am a fully qualified and experienced gender specialist who endeavors to provide appropriate care and support for transgender clients.   As I am at most times the first health care professional contacted, whatever I am referred to, such as, a counselor or facilitator my overall purpose is to become a trusted advocate and a source of strength, information and support.

At www.gendertherapist.com as a counselor and mental health professional specializing in Male to Female and Female to Male sex change, dysphoria and related issues. I offer individualized online therapy and assessments leading to letters of recommendation for hormones and surgery. I further provide advice, support and time-limited counseling for cross-gender expression (Click here for current 'FEES').

Online counseling for gender issues uses the written language as a vehicle of bringing about not only change but an understanding of what the individual feels and the direction they would like to take in respect of their gender related issues. Whether written or spoken it is a core component of communication.  Whilst some may believe that communication is best achieved by face to face interactions and verbal exchanges, there is in fact little evidence, if any, to back this.  In fact, the anonymity that is identifiably apparent through online therapy at most times assists the individual to open up more easily and more freely than they may normally do so in a face to face situation.  In respect of gender counseling and assessment this has had positive results of enabling the client of letting go that 'secret' which has been held back and suppressed for over many years

Online gender counseling is in many aspects more secure, confidential, and private than traditional face-to-face therapy/counseling. Mainly due to its unique qualities, the counseling takes place in an anonymous or pseudonymous context. This provides a level of security and confidentiality that cannot be matched in the real world of the office. It also removes the threat of the over ‘subjective’ thought of the counselor,  due to the early and  ‘raw’ appearance and presentation of the individual which may stand in the way of objectivity.

Online therapy offers a valuable and new model which reaches the larger and isolated group of people concerned over their gender related feelings, plus issues of confidentiality, acceptance and privacy.  It also reaches those living in isolated areas, places where there are no available couselors in the locality and individuals who are house bound disabled andthose who may not normally seek a professional gender health service

On contact I offer a brief initial discussion, this can be used to discuss your concerns and gain information about our service. and schedule appointments. Following our initial online session and on receiving your e-mail reply. If you feel that you could benefit from the assistance that I have to offer, please follow the instruction to commence your online relationship.
