Profesional expertise

At this time I’ve discovered few professionals have what I believe is sufficient knowledge of transgenderism in general, and even less are qualified to serve the tg community adequately in their disciplines.
I’ve also found even the classification of transgenderism in the DSM is  being debated for various and possably malevolent reasons. I’m hoping for a  final conclusion giving transgenderism a benign classification with a determination against and banning  “reparative therapy” esp for children.

Allen Andrade has been found guilty of a bias crime against Angie Zapata specifically over her being transgendered.

Now comes the second part of an even bigger fight with new antagonists. There will be the more contained appeals processes for the convictions against Andrade , and then the open fight specifically of the bias crime law in itself.
