Uma- Discussion

The findings of the study state that ICD-11 should replace the current ICD-10 psychological
model for transgender since it is best tailored to meet the needs of people. Furthermore, it uses
the current evidence-based studies sand are not only responsive to the needs of patients, but they
as well safeguard and educate on various issues impacting the transgender people. Furthermore,
new models give accessibility, high-quality care to patients, and it is more inclusive. Gender
incongruence of childhood was not perceived as a mental disorder that needs to be placed in a
different category. Also, children always change their minds; gender marking at a tender age
should not be relied on fully. Those who persist with it to adulthood are helped medically and
socially to transition and adjust while those do not are helped to transition back to natal gender.

I did not find it surprising these people face a lot of stigmatization, and they as well lack
adequate access to diagnostics facilities. They do not receive the right amount of care in the
mental section. Majority of them get hormones from the black market with no medical
supervision. All these have adverse impacts on the overall health of these people, and they end
up not enjoying the fundamental human rights accorded to everyone. Shockingly, the
transgenderism in children is yet to be extensively explored. There is as well a lot of
controversies by governments, advocacy groups and people on the diagnostics and treatment
methods. For instance, Prepuberty treatment, lifetime hormonal therapy, surgery, routine
examination, counselling and puberty suppression, normalizing of terms. Treatment and
minimization of stereotypical gender behaviours and prevention of transgendersism and being
encouraged to be comfortable with assigned gender at birth discourages cross-gender tendencies
in children reduced transgender people.
