Overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world. Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central mental health site, also founded and continues to oversee this private community to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life or mental health issue.

According to my psychiatrist it is possible. How is this possible in an adult who has had a steady gender identity for years?

Her comment makes me wonder about therapists psychopathologizing people. A lot of diagnoses seem to put blame on the client and are about fixing them so they conform to society and all it's rigid rules and expectations. What is wrong with being different and helping a person express their authentic self?

Note that I have found psychotherapy to be very helpful ONLY when it avoids blame.
