Abstract

editorial

trans health

transgender healthcare

gender dysphoria

pathologisation

As members of the Board of Directors for the Australian Professional Association for Trans Health (AusPATH) and the Executive Committee of the Professional Association for Transgender Health Aotearoa (PATHA), we are deeply concerned by the updated RANZCP Position Statement 103 'Recognising and addressing the mental health needs of people experiencing Gender Dysphoria/Gender Incongruence'. We have many decades of experience in trans healthcare between us, including lived expertise as trans people – both binary and non-binary, and/or in clinical, research and community practice. We consider the approach taken by RANZCP to trans people as inappropriate and harmful.
