To examine the extent to which the (ACT) and (Vic) might pose a risk to evidence-based and clinically appropriate practice.
Using a recent publication by Parkinson and Morris as a starting point, the provisions of the new legislation are carefully examined.
The ACT and Victorian laws do not imperil psychiatrists undertaking evidence-based and clinically appropriate practice.
While it may be wise for psychiatrists to abandon this area of practice if they hold strong personal beliefs that the failure to identify with one's natal gender is morally wrong, nothing in the new laws should deter psychiatrists from providing people with gender dysphoria with evidence-based and clinically appropriate care.
探讨《跨性别者权利法案》（ACT）和《维多利亚性别认同法案》（Vic）在何种程度上可能对循证和临床适当实践构成风险。
以帕金森和莫里斯最近的一篇出版物为起点，仔细审查新立法的规定。
ACT 和维多利亚州的法律并没有危及从事循证和临床适当实践的精神科医生。
虽然如果精神科医生认为无法认同自己的出生性别在道德上是错误的，并且持有强烈的个人信仰，那么放弃这一实践领域可能是明智的，但新法律不应阻止精神科医生为性别焦虑症患者提供循证和临床适当的护理。
