My intention with a GD scale is to provide a point of reference for members, rather than to insinuate that everyone who gets a certain score or higher should see a psychiatrist.

Oh, I understand that... and I wasn't criticizing your efforts. Anything that increases understanding is good. The reference to psychiatry is because of the fact that psychiatrists -- in the cultural context of Western medicine -- invented GD/GID, not because I think you are recommending them.

I wanted to present a completely different angle on the subject: imagine a world where your scale is not necessary! No non-binary child ever need suffer if we can get rid of the idea that there's something wrong with it.

You are a thinker, and don't think I don't realize or appreciate it. I just do not agree that we need to be narrowing and defining a set of rules that I believe should not exist at all. "Boys are this, girls are that, and there's nothing else" being the rule set in question. Your effort is one to more clearly define distinctions; I take a much more laissez-faire approach. In a context where differences are valued, no distinctions are necessary.

That set of rules comes from the Western Judeo-Christian framework -- a framework that centuries ago should have died out. We should have already learned from it and moved on. But it's still there, wreaking havoc on humanity and standing in the way of logic.
