Hierbij een zeer recent bericht van de Amerikaase Psychiatrische Associatie. Het schijnt dat ook onze Professor Cohen Kettenis van het VUmc zich sterk heeft gemaakt voor deze oplossing, waarbij transgenders in principe niet langer als "ziek" worden aangemerkt, maar waarbij vergoedingen voor mensen, die grote onvrede met hun lichaam ervaren, door verzekeringen blijven worden uitgekeerd. Het bericht luidt :

This Saturday, the American Psychiatric Association board of trustees approved the latest proposed revisions to theDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, what will now be known as the DSM-V. This marks a historic milestone for people who are transgender and gender non-conforming, as their identities are no longer classified as a mental disorder. Homosexuality was similarly declassified as a mental disorder in 1973.
Until now, the term “gender identity disorder” has been used to diagnose people who are transgender. For conservatives, this has provided rhetorical carte blanche to describe the entire trans committee as disordered, delusional, and mentally ill. In some cases, this diagnosis has even been used to discriminate against trans people, with claims that they are unfit parents or employees, as examples. On the other hand, insurance companies have been more willing to cover the expenses associated with transition under this language, because treatment for a disorder is considered medically necessary, rather than cosmetic.
The new manual will diagnose transgender people with “Gender Dysphoria,” which communicates the emotional distress that can result from “a marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender.” This will allow for affirmative treatment and transition care without the stigma of disorder. Earlier this year, the APA also released new health guidelines for transgender patients, as well as a position statement affirming transgender care and civil rights. Both documents align with a new standard for respecting trans people in the medical community.
It was only after homosexuality was declassified as a mental disorder that ex-gay ministries formed, protesting the medical community’s decision to affirm non-heterosexual orientations. Some dangerous ex-trans ministries exist already and are championed by Focus on the Family,NARTH, PFOX, and other anti-LGBT organizations. It’s possible that these efforts may similarly increase in the wake of this DSM revision.

Wat nog niet echt heel duidelijk is geworden bij de grote massa is dat fetisjistische travestie "opgewaardeerd" is naar een stoornis...
Om het nog wat problematischer te maken, als je eenmaal die diagnose hebt dan kom je er ook niet meer vanaf, het is hooguit in remissie :fpalm:
Koppel daaraan het feit dat het Ray Blanchard was die de parafilia commissie voorzat en je zal wel niet meer verbaasd zijn dat autogynefilie er ook in gepropt is. Om de theorie nog enig respekt te geven is er ook autoandrofilie bij gefantaseerd. :fpalm: :fpalm:

invalidating transgender
2018 There was a great war, the gods died, and the world ended.
So what's this, a dream?
Of course not. It's the world. It's ended lots of times. And then it continues, with fewer gods, and more stories.
That's not an end.
It is to the gods.
