Americans with Disabilities Act not complete coverage?

The page has a sentence that says “Gender dysphoria being a disorder also means it is covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act, which may aid transgender people in accessing legal protections they otherwise may be unable to” but then the source it links to (here: https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/16/politics/americans-with-disabilities-act-transgender-gender-dysphoria/index.html) says that opinion was only “issued by a three-judge panel with the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit” so it seems like it’s not covered by the ADA everywhere in the US and just saying it’s covered is misleading? Can somebody please figure out where it’s covered and add that to the sentence? Thanks. 100.11.62.231 (talk) 22:14, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Attempts to alleviate GD by changing the patient's gender identity to reflect assigned sex have been ineffective"

I think this statement is really in need of some non-tertiary sourcing; I've searched a few times for a review article that has made a conclusion one way or the other on this subject to no avail, and from what I've read in my attempts to do so, it seems like this statement can't truthfully be made with such certainty.

The Merck isn't good enough? EvergreenFir (talk) 08:03, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Merck says it's ineffective, but there's no elaboration or citation included to back that conclusion. Lameringuewrangler (talk) 08:56, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What about the citations in the GICE section at Conversion therapy? Mathglot (talk) 09:05, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This? I can't access the study directly, but based on the article it sounds like it mainly focuses on the treatment of children on the basis of them being gender nonconforming, not necessarily expressing a gender identity that doesn't align with their sex. I think research that demonstrates repressive treatment for gender dysphoria in consenting adults to be ineffective would be more definitive material to cite here. Lameringuewrangler (talk) 01:51, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Where are you seeing that the article focuses on gender nonconforming children? You're saying it's not necessarily about "expressing a gender identity that doesn't align with their sex." but the title of the chapter you linked to is "Gender identity change efforts:A summary" The abstract makes it clear it's talking about conversion therapy.

I think it would be great to have a more accessible citation. This is from the first citation in conversion therapy:

"efforts to change an individual’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression —is a practice that is not supported by credible evidence and has been disavowed by behavioral health experts and associations... Most importantly, it may put young people at risk of serious harm. "

Sativa Inflorescence (talk) 14:39, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

By "the article" I meant the Wikipedia article it's cited in, or more specifically the section that uses that citation. Again, I can't access the study itself, but the first sentence of the abstract at least implies the focus is on minors. Lameringuewrangler (talk) 11:34, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 20 March 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Gender dysphoria. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Add within "gender euphoria" before the last paragraph: Euphorias in gender, sex and sexuality variations have also been associated by sociologists with social factors such as institutional inclusion in education and healthcare; community connection; self-acceptance and social acceptance (Reference ISBN: 978-3-031-23755-3). 137.111.13.227 (talk) 20:27, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
