Is Gender Dysphoria A Mental Illness? Posted: 30 Jun 2022 07:01 AM PDT What Exactly is Gender Dysphoria? Gender dysphoria is a condition that causes distress. It can be caused by an intense desire to identify with something other than one's gender, such as wearing the same clothes and participating in the same social activities. This is a feeling of discomfort a person feels when their gender identity does not match their biological sex. Gender dysphoria sufferers should be supported by therapies that help them to identify the root cause of their discomfort and accept their sexuality. Gender dysphoria is not a diagnosis that should be treated with irreversible hormonal or surgical interventions. These treatments can give false hope, promote negative views of the body and ignore mental health needs. Both Abhilash and Patra, youth champions for BaateinUnlocked, list what parents can do to help their children. BaateinUnlocked, a youth-led movement that engages young people in India, is designed to bring them together to discuss everything "taboo" across the country and to break down cultural and social barriers. What can parents do to help? Parents can help their children tremendously by observing certain do's and don'ts. How to identify signs of gender dysphoria The most obvious signs of gender dysfunction in teens include an intense desire to be the opposite sex (i.e., dressing up as the other sex, discomfort with biological sex, or anger about the gender binary are all signs of gender dysphoria). These are just some of the signs. Other signs include feeling "trapped," feeling disconnected, feeling different, or having unhealthy coping skills. Be open to your child's thoughts and feelings You will be able to validate your child's identity as a person and not have to validate their trans-identity. Talking with your child should be friendly. Children should have the opportunity to express themselves and should be allowed to talk. Parents can help their children express themselves and avoid restricting them from doing so. It is okay to break from the norms. All children should know that their parents love and support them. Always remember to abide by the four laws of LIFE Listen to your child and show unconditional love. Introspect and I-Interact: Ask questions about the gender dysphoria experience of your teens. Also, think about your own thoughts and feelings. This will help you understand what your child is going through. Feel and find: Find your doubts, questions, and experts, and then discuss them with them. Feel what your child is feeling, and reach out to experts. Educate: Learning about transgender issues and becoming more educated on gender dysphoria is a great way for you to support your child. Videos created by credible and trusted experts can be viewed by parents and children. These videos can give authenticity and trust to the issues children and parents are dealing with. A local actor or athlete who is dealing with gender dysphoria could be a trusted voice. Doctors or therapists could also be trusted experts. Control children's behavior with colors Find the right therapist for you Don't let anyone blame your child. Morally, shame and blaming are not psychological approaches. Therapists are required to be honest and open when describing their therapeutic methods. If a therapist puts pressure on your child by telling them that your child must "transition" or become a suicide statistic, leave with your child. This is false! Sometimes, parents' good intentions may have contributed to gender dysphoria. With the exception of objective abuse, therapists should not "take sides." Parents and children will benefit from therapists who are able to help them understand each other and improve communication and family connection. It is important to find the right therapist. Parents should support their children through medical transitions. This can be done by offering counseling or hormone replacement therapy. Conversion therapy should not be supported by parents without sufficient knowledge. It can lead to anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. Establishing parent groups: Parents should talk about these issues in the community. Then, they need to work together to create a culture that respects the body. Promoting transgender issues in schools and creating safe spaces for children is important. You can involve teachers and school boards, and develop policies. Then push them through the community. The above views are solely those of the authors. Behera (she/her), a transgender activist, is the Director of the Tarit Foundation. This community organization works in Odisha. Abhilash Patra, an epidemiologist, and bio-statistician, is a core member of the LGBTQIA+ community-based organization in Bhubaneswar (Odisha). Bhubaneswar: Pride Committee Organizer. Is Gender Dysphoria A Mental Illness? Although gender dysphoria is listed on the DSM-5 (Diagnostic Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders Fifth Edition), experts don't consider it a mental illness. The feeling that you don't belong to the sex you were given at birth is not considered a mental illness. It is only the discomfort that this gap in identity can cause that could indicate specific mental health problems in gender dysphoria. Gender Dysphoria vs Gender nonconformity Gender dysphoria is not to be confused with gender nonconformity. It can be considered a subset or group of gender nonconformity, but it is not the same thing as gender conformity. Gender nonconformity can be used to describe a variety of behaviors that are not in line with society's gender expectations. Gender dysphoria can be experienced by some non-conforming people, but not all. Nonconformity is when a girl chooses to wear more masculine clothing than what is expected. These girls may display behavior traits that are expected of boys. This may not prove that she is suffering from gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria, which is not synonymous with homosexuality, is not related to sexual behavior. An individual who is sexually attracted by people of the same sex is called a homosexual. Gender dysphoria is not defined by the sexual attraction of a person.

A Concise Guide to Jewelry Insurance and Coverage Posted: 30 Jun 2022 12:54 AM PDT Unprotected assets can include a diamond engagement band, a vintage Rolex or a Tahiti-sourced black pearl necklace. While most people have comprehensive insurance policies that cover their home and furnishings, it doesn't necessarily mean all items under your roof are covered. Some policies exclude jewelry and other valuables, such as musical instruments, artwork, and furs. Some policies restrict coverage to a specific type of event and a dollar amount. This coverage isn't enough if the item's value has gone up a lot since it was bought. What you need Jewelry insurance is required if you have large assets. It is also known as a "rider" and, more specifically, a "floater" (which targets small, mobile items). It takes over insurance coverage when the traditional one ends. It typically covers the insured item against loss, fire, theft, or damage. These policies may not cover jewelry or other valuables. For example, a watch might need to be insured by one of the top watch insurance companies. Major insurers don't offer jewelry coverage as an individual product. Instead, they require that you have an underlying property policy. Owners of valuables may add coverage to their homeowners' insurance policy. Most of the more well-known insurers will require extra handling for high-end items. Examples of insurance coverage USAA's typical homeowners insurance policy covers jewelry that is lost or stolen by fire or theft, but not accidental damage or loss. The jewelry coverage limit is $10,000, with no per-item limits. It is also subject to the policy deductible (the amount that you will have to pay before your insurance coverage kicks in). A separate policy is required to provide additional coverage for jewelry. The USAA Valuable Personal Property policy covers many types of incidents and accidents. For example, it will pay for the replacement or repair of a broken ring, or for the cost of a new diamond. The deductible is 0. The deductible is $0. An appraisal is not required for jewelry items insured up to $15,000, but a receipt or proof of ownership is required in order to file a claim. Farmers Insurance follows a similar approach. For example, jewelry is covered up to $1,000 per item in a homeowner's policy and $5,000 per incident (theft or fire). Accidental damage is not covered. Farmers provide riders that cover valuable items. The insured can choose the deductible (beginning at $0). Most of the time, farmers will need a receipt or an appraisal for each item being covered. Allstate and GEICO offer similar options. Personal property coverage is limited to $500 to $2,000 for GEICO, and $1,000 to $2,000 for Allstate. To increase coverage or cover damage that is not covered by the policy, riders and floaters can be added. What to ask These are the questions to ask when you're looking for the best jewelry policy. How are claims handled exactly? Can you ask for reimbursement and buy a replacement, or do you have to wait for the insurance company to send you a check first? Is the item covered for its full replacement cost? How do you figure this out, especially if it was made to order or is an antique? Are coverage limits affected by the price of precious metals and gems? At what frequency should you submit an updated appraisal? Which evidence of loss or damage is required? What exclusions are there in the policy? What kinds of damage and loss are not covered by the policy? Additional Tips Before you buy your policy, and when adding to it later: Get your items appraised by a professional to determine their worth for insurance purposes. Take photos of the items. Consider increasing your deductible if you have the option to do so. Once your policy has been put in place: All receipts, appraisal paperwork, photos, and other documents should be kept safe but easily accessible. When you're not wearing items, store them safely. Avoid taking irreplaceable or highly valuable jewelry with you. The bottom line: Many insurance companies offer discounts for customers who buy multiple policies. You are more likely to receive a better deal if you buy your auto, home, life, or property insurance from one provider. You may be eligible to buy stand-alone coverage through a provider who specializes in jewelry insurance if you don't already have homeowner's or renter's. These policies are often offered by jewelers or recommended companies. Last but not the least, just because you protect your property, doesn't mean that you shouldn't wear it. You can actually enjoy your valuable items more if you have insurance.
