DSM-V: Being transgender is no longer a mental disorder
Arbitrary classification is not science.
In the abscence of evidence of what actually causes transgender identity (or autism and everything else they are changing), neither the original assumption nor the reclassification are based on reality. It's ALL politics- territory grabbing and ass covering.
The most appropriate and surely more effective thing to do is to remove all the diagnoses that are based on flying ass monkeys. But that's all of them.
Treat people for actual medical problems and see what happens.

Latest Greatest Hypothesis
About Me
- Heidi Lindborg
- Tucson, AZ, United States
- I obsess about obsession because it seems like the best use of the pathology.
Not that I really have any choice...
I believe that the majority of mental illness is secondary symptoms of common chronic infections. I was a medical librarian, and now I just pretty much constantly research sleep disorders, depression, mania and dementia. This is where I collect my accumulating hypotheses and try to document the atrocities occurring daily in the Infection Industrial Complex.
My goal is not to convince you that my ideas are right, but to show you there is more than one way to interpret scientific data.
Update:
After fifteen years of this, I finally think I am right.

Fun with Zombipathy
A hearty recommendation for this quirky zombie movie: Perfect Sense
"A chef and a scientist fall in love as a mysterious epidemic begins to rob people of their sensory perceptions."
Almost perfect.
