The WPATH Standards of Care (2005)

I’m not sure the WPATH name was on the slideshow when this paper was presented. It was before the time of the name change from The Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association, so perhaps I used that name.

Here’s the slide show. It pretty much speaks for itself, which is a good thing, since I didn’t keep my notes.

My readers, please note—much changed with the introduction of Version 7 of the Standards of Care. This presentation, and any criticisms I may have had in the past, are obsolete.
