Major plus, but there is still some concern that gender dysphoria will be abused as much as as GID was.

@Raquel Santiago: Agree with the first part, but what do you mean when you say it could be abused?

Hi Dan Avery and Queerty,
As a fairly active gender variant queer I was emotionally excited and inspired by this article. . . and then I read Julia Serano’s article correcting this alleged half truth.
Can we get some fact checking, please?
Thank you,
Aidan
