Sara Stockton Woke Up, Career Gender Therapist Deep Concerns With Gender Affirming Care. Hasty Irreversible Treatments

Sara Stockton, a gender therapist, is calling for a change in the way gender dysphoria is treated as it has become an epidemic. She discusses how the mental and physical health treatment of transgenders has shifted drastically in the last decade. 

Sara is also a licensed marriage and family therapist who began her career at 22 as in the field of Transgender care. She was only one of 4 specialists in the Syracuse area. She co-authored one of the first mental health assessments to assess youth's readiness to begin medical treatment for gender transition. 

The policy has now been removed from the influence of the direct mental health providers and is now governed by The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) an organization whose members often benefit greatly economicly.   

Sara laments the incredible acceleration in diagnosis and the ease with which children receive puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries.   The industry has grown at lightning speed with huge economic windfalls for pharmaceutical and medical providers without adequately considering long-term mental, sociological, and physical consequences for the patient. 

A boilerplate letter from oftentimes unqualified mental health providers is the key to beginning medical treatments for minors with minimal analysis. These providers frequently have little training in gender dysphoria. A Gender dysphoria diagnosis itself is no longer required to start medicalization, and it is now begun at a patient's request. 

She discusses how the mental and physical health treatment of transgenders has shifted drastically in the last decade, with children no longer needing parental involvement and psychiatrists rapid authorization of permanent treatments hastily. 

Sara is concerned about the lack of information given to the patient about the permanent physical and psychological consequences, as well as the mass exploitation of this industry for money. She is urging for more caution when approving treatments and for more holistic approaches to be taken.

Sara is the Owner of Aisling Marriage and Family Therapy.
