In many cases, when it comes to | In many cases, when it comes to {{Cambridge-Dictionary|trans|trans*}} people and issues, sources considered {{Cambridge-Dictionary|reliable}} by some may be considered {{Cambridge-Dictionary|unreliable}} by others. For this reason, first hand information will always be considered to be more accurate and reliable than theories or opinions, even if they are expressed by so called '{{Cambridge-Dictionary|expert}}s'. That is because many of the people who consider themselves 'experts' in this area hold tightly to highly disputed and often outdated thoughts and theories. In most cases, the most accurate information comes from people who are, or are close to, members of the trans community. | ||
Also, many [[:Category:Medical|medical]] professionals are not well versed in the field, and much of the past theory in this area is controversial, or simply wrong, as evidenced by growing mounds of anecdotal evidence. | Also, many [[:Category:Medical|medical]] professionals are not well versed in the field, and much of the past theory in this area is {{Cambridge-Dictionary|controversial}}, or simply {{Cambridge-Dictionary|wrong}}, as evidenced by growing mounds of anecdotal evidence. | ||
