Reply To: General Discussion of Transgender Issues

WPATH is supposed to support all transgender people, although right now it does concentrate on those who transition. Currently, no other organization represents non-transitioning transgender people from mental health and medical perspectives. Non-transitioning people need help with individual, marital and family counseling as well as sometimes need medication for depression and other ailments. It is true that WPATH has mainly concentrated on transition but its time for them to pay greater attention to non-transitioners. I am also working with the American Psychological Association to reorient their support.
Hope this helps,
