Also, while we’re on the changes to the DSM-5, here’s  the testimony of someone who was actually on the DSM panel for that specific issue.

TL;DR: the way the previous editions of the DSM talked about “Gender identity disorder” was fundamentally at odds with how it actually worked.

Ah, a random Quora poster. Seems legit.


Should I start posting from Reddit instead of citing actual organizations and professionals as well?

Edit - and all it does is essentially state that "Gender Dysphoria" was broken up into multiple pieces to more accurately describe the mental disorders.... oof.

It's almost like what I've been saying all along... it stopped being a "disorder" in itself and instead became a bunch of lesser disorders...

And I take it that we’re ignoring that this random Quora poster is an MD in Psychiatry and Neurology, and, oh, yeah, was actually there when they made the change?
