This type of "treatment" is an utter failure and surrender of the fields of psychology, psychiatry, and neurology.
The way we used to think was - a sex change surgery used to only be performed because we could not fix the mental problem (patient being unhappy with their body). Now the whole script has flipped and we are talking about how a "transwoman has always been a women" and a "transman has always been a man", which is the newest version of "if theory conflicts with the facts, so much the worse for the facts".
Now we actually ponder cutting off people's arms and legs, which is so incredibly bizarre.
Not to mention how this opens a huge pandora's box of "recognising" "transabled" people, "transracial" people (see Oli London, Rachel Dolezal, or Martina Big) as, for the lack of a better word - "healthy".
As a bisexual dude I suspect a lot of that has to do with the stigma around "conversion therapies", but I worry that term suffered from some really heavy "scope" creep.
