Disclaimer
This site is based on the research of three HBS sites.
I was lead to believe that Harry Benjamin Syndrome was backed
by medical and therapy professionals as well as a widespread
diagnosis. It is instead a layperson's view authored by Charlote
T Guren. The medical signatures on the site are afixed to
a "Transsexual Resarch" document not an HBS one.
The Standards of Care borrowed from HBIGDA are not a medical
care document as one is lead to believe. One wonders if permission
was obtained to use Harry Benjamin's name. HBS IS NOT MEDICALLY
APPROVED or an offically medically accepted diagnosis as of
yet.
If you feel you are Transsexual or identify with
HBS you should seek a medical Professional not a layperson.
The offical HBIGDA
version 6 are the ONLY accepted Standards of Care
for Transsexualism at this time.
HBS is a fantasitc idea based soley on Transsexual
research. Other writings though are opinions of a non-professional.
It is not objective. I hope that in time HBS becomes ofifcial
with medical backing. I should have know something was wrong
when the main point of HBS was to bash the transgendered.
Actual diagnosis was secondary. No medical professional would
do that.
My Apologies to all.
Over the next few days I will either decide to remove
this site or give it a total rewrite. You are welcome to write
me and give me your suggestions.
