1. Government should recognise there are 2 different groups: transgender people and gender dysphoric people. All transgender people have gender dysphoria but all people with gender dysphoria are not transgender. The source of gender dysphoria is wide and includes shame from trauma, bullying, harrassment, sexual abuse or neurodivergence and low social connection that is often deeply psychologically hidden.

2. Laws and regulation should support  that people receive medical and health care that is centered on the needs of a patient, rather than centered on an ideology. 

3. People suffering from gender dysphoria should receive medical and health care that is centred on identifying the causes of gender dysphoria, before treatment commences. No law should mandate affirmation treatment - which involves treating a patient with cross sex hormones and surgeries that include cutting away healthy breasts, wombs, ovaries, and castrating males - for all people with gender dysphoria.

4. Gender nonconforming people should not be medically transitioned to the opposite gender with mandatrory affirmation. Tomboy girls and butch women should not be shamed into becoming men. Effeminate boys and men should not be shamed into becoming women. Girls should be allowed to be tomboys and boys should not be forced to conform to alpha male stereotypes.

5. Communities should be educated that same sex attraction is supported in our culture. Same sex attracted men and same sex attracted women should not live in fear or shame. Affirmation should not be used to mask homophobia by turning gay men into women and by turning lesbian women into men.

6. Self ID should not be the gateway to access very serious cross sex hormones, surgeries and physical interventions. Only qualified and trained medical and health professionals should make the assessment required for the provision of serious drugs and medical interventions. This is no different to any other area of health - people do not self ID that they need a heart bypass or cancer drugs. 

7. Medical and health professionals should be required to uphold the highest standards of care and ethics and assess for trauma prior to prescribing treatment. Poeple who have suffered sexual abuse or bullying should not bury their scars and hide their sexuality by being forced into another gender. They should understand that the perpetrators behaviour is not appropriate and they should receive appropriate psychological and other health care.

8. Doctors, specialists, therapists and counsellors should be required to uphold the highest standards of care and ethics. They should invest appropriate time to assess the nature of gender dysphoria prior to prescribing a pathway of very serious cross sex hormones and surgeries. They should not be forced, by law, to immediately affirm a person with gender dysphoria as being transgender.

9. Medical indemnity insurance should not be provided to doctors and other health care professionals that do not assess their patients with the highest levels of care and ethics.

10. Government budgets that support the LGBTQIA+ community should recognise the health needs to detransitioners. The current government health investment for detransitioners is $0. A budget that is greater than $0 should be allocated to provide psychological and medical care for detransitioners, and for educating medical and health professionals on how to care for detransitioners.
