Topic | Transgenderism is no longer a Mental Disorder, per WHO... |
Broken_Zeus 06/01/19 11:09:40 PM #64: | _AdjI_ posted... I mean, if the primary means of treatment is physical, it makes sense to not call it a mental disorder. The treatment approach acknowledges that the problem is with the body, not the mind. It may shift back to mental if future developments in treatment start favouring cognitive approaches. It may not. Only time will tell, so everyone should just shut up and let science do its job. That's some fine tap-dancing, especially comparing heterochromia to transgenderism (lolwut?) Granted, with advancements in technology, we'll increasingly be able to accommodate rather than treat mental illnesses so the conventional idea of mental illness may well go out the window. If somebody believes that they're something else, body modification will accommodate it. If somebody believes that they're someone else, we might see some kind of perception-filter technology that adjusts their perception enough to fit in the world without actually treating a damn thing. --- Gamefaqs cannot handle my #BrokenBrilliance ...
