FAA No Longer Considers Transgender A Mental Disorder Nor Requires A Psych-Evaluation. https://abcnews.go.com/US/faa-makes-easier-transgender-pilots-certified/story?id=36616113 Nor does it require it to be reported unlike a ADHD labeling of a child. Those that go through Trangender sergery require hormone replacement for the rest of their lives which could affect mental stability, yet the FAA does NOT require those that are Transgender to go through the "Gary Kay Special" battery of tests. https://www.thetaskforce.org/faa-lifts-barriers-on-transgender-pilots/ https://runwaygirlnetwork.com/2016/01/29/faa-modernizes-outdated-medical-requirements-for-trans-pilots/ and https://blogs.mprnews.org/newscut/2016/01/to-faa-transgender-pilots-no-longer-have-a-mental-illness/
This is a massive double standard that discriminates against those that were tagged with ADHD and/ or Asperger's as minors, and that has not affected them as adults, often times for decades. https://www.advocate.com/politics/transgender/2012/08/13/faa-eliminates-unnecessary-testing-trans-pilots
Biden's appointment for Assistant Health Secretary of Health Rachel Levine wants to remove any and all restrictions for children to receive medical treatments for transition including but not limited too puberty hormone blockers and genital transition surgery. Senator Rand Paul questioned how this is not considered genital mutilation especially considering that transgender used to be considered a mental disorder under gender dysphoria.
Talk show host Steven Crowder states that these procedures and artificial hormone supplements do cause changes in mental behavior and increase the tendencies of depression and suicidal thoughts. Crowder also questions why Levine feels that no psychological evaluation is necessary for transition but it's necessary for prescriptions for erectile dysfunction medication.

ORGINAL VIDEO REMOVED FROM YOUTUBE, clip of the Feb 25 2021 show listed here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joGHA8Eyih0
At the 47 min 20 second mark on the October 14 2021 edition of Louder with Crowder, it was stated that transgenders are 42% likely to attempt suicide. https://rumble.com/vnqi0v-youtube-gave-me-another-strike-heres-why.html
So if the FAA and soon the general health policy for transsexuals is viewing this as not a mental disorder and does not require a psychological evaluation even with all the concerns addressed above, why is it that pilots that were tagged with ADHD, especially as children that have grown out of it still have to go through a psychological evaluation and cognitive battery where they could be labeled with a false positive diagnosis of Adult ADHD and loose their medicals because the threshold of diagnosis is so low that most pilots, including practically ALL trans pilots would lose their medicals going through this process.
The fact that mental health diagnosis definitions are constantly being modified or even removed from the Diagnostic and Statistics Manuel of DSM should make you pause and think. For example In 1994 the DSM removed ADD without hyperactivity and now there is only one diagnosis, ADHD. https://neurogrow.com/add-vs-adhd-and-the-different-types-of-adhd/#:~:text=In%201994%2C%20the%20DSM%2D3,well%20as%20%E2%80%9Cnot%20otherwise%20specified. Another example is Aspergers which was first listed in the DSM in 1944 was removed in 2013, 69 years later. meaning for more than have a century a diagnosis existed which has later proven to be false was tagged on individuals https://www.mghclaycenter.org/parenting-concerns/families/dsm-5-what-happened-to-aspergers/ People are now either diagnosed with full blown autism or a new diagnosis , "Social Communication Disorder" https://www.parents.com/health/autism/what-happened-to-aspergers/ However even though Asperger's is no longer a diagnosis, it still has to be declared on MedXpress which leads to the "Gary Kay Special"
One of the reasons why the FAA changed their stance on transgeners has to do with The Transgender Law Center that reps transgenders basically took on the FAA calling what they did discriminatory https://transgenderlawcenter.org/archives/1588 by backing a lawsuit of a transgender Google employee

Apparently this does not extend to heterosexual women wanting to excursive their reproductive rights. Xyla Foxlin had her IUD replaced, which lead to a hormonal imbalance. Her general practitioner not realizing how much of a issue this would cause Xyla with the FAA put "major depressive disorder" in her chart. to make it easier to refer her to a psychiatrist. The FAA third party quack who she was forced to see was shocked that Xyla was monogamous and thought "birth control was only used by sluts" Xyla pointed out why is it relevant for the FAA to know what one's sex life is. https://youtu.be/aj0H8oVS7qg?si=DFUzsGEF3HPlzlNx&t=541 Apparently this prodding and intrusive question is common with these FAA hacks. https://sites.google.com/site/no2cog/supporting-evidence/example-of-faa-3rd-party-doctors-that-committing-malpractice-against-pilots/fabians-fixation-with-pedophiles-and-disturbing-review-from-ohio Ultimately the FAA revoked her medical permanently and didn't even tell her as she listed in this viral video.
Xyla says since flying is only a hobby and not her career and doesn't feel she has anything to lose at this point she's speaking up on this topic of FAA Medical because career pilots live in fear for speaking up as to never getting their medicals back. This is essentially a revoking of a pilot's First Amendment rights, something that President Donald Trump has stated before the start of his second term is a fileable offence. Well Mr. President, Secretary Sean Duffy, Elon Musk, and DOGE, these are the people within FAA Medical that need to be fired due to this practice is Federal Air Surgeon Dr. Susan Northrup (and she should be replaced by Senior AME Dr. Brent Blue) Who also should be fired is anyone tied to the Cogscreen such as Dr. David O'Brien and Dr. Chris M Front, https://youtu.be/irOfHpetH4Q?si=Bh6JwYiMFZ1wtqta
to no longer require trans pilots to go through burdensome psychological testing as a result of being honest with their AME. and in the words of the Law Center "that the FAA held trans pilots to an unreasonably high standard." http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=main.textpost&id=facc023c-ea65-4ac6-b0ad-1e57b534f69c Because of the lawsuit the FAA no longer considers transgender a "mental disorder" https://thehill.com/policy/transportation/267565-faa-drops-disorder-label-for-transgender-pilots/ So with this case law, why isn't this extended to those pilots tagged with ADHD or Asperger's who have not been on medication since they were children decades ago?
What is even more disturbing is New Research from the University of Texas shows this non-reversable amputation of reproductive causes Depression, anxiety, suicidal feelings and drug abuse were all "significantly higher" for those who received surgery compared to those who didn't. https://www.foxnews.com/health/trans-surgeries-increase-risk-mental-health-conditions-suicidal-ideations-study Charlie Kirk posted this on X also stating
Let's repeat that: Treating gender dysphoria with sex change surgery was linked with drastically WORSE mental health outcomes. https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1897390786704236583 Where Elon Musk reposted it with the the response, Sex change surgery severely harms mental health https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1897401604619526319 Once again due to being woke the FAA considers non-reversible amputation of reproductive organs as normal, with no need to go through the "Gary Kay Special" but if you were tagged with ADHD in elementary school decades ago or are a biological woman practicing her reproductive rights, you lose your medical, essentially permanently... Think about that and call your congressman and the White House switchboard and demand DOGE take action on this.
