But they were not actually predicted by gender incongruence itself. This finding contradicts the basic classification of a mental illness, which is that distress or dysfunction are essential elements of the condition, the paper said. Reed hopes his work shows that being transgender does not have to equate to suffering. Its actually the external factors, Reed said, that cause the suffering: the societal stigma, the violence and the prejudices. Remove them, and all that remains is the feeling of gender incongruence, the label proposed in ICD-11 in a new chapter called Conditions Related to Sexual Health, which will be medically and biologically oriented. This issue echoes past controversies. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the psychiatric disorder guidebook, once included homosexuality as a mental illness. In 1973, the diagnosis became sexual orientation disturbance, and then disappeared completely in 1987, largely because of gay rights advocates. --- Kevin Durant. Lord of the Warriors.

Saved the place from further damage. If we banned guns, how would we protect ourselves from people who illegally get them? People with them illegally wowuld be like "s*, no cops near here. No one has a gun. I can just score so many points in here before someone will stop me!" .... I mean cmon. Yes, the left speaks of emotion and their emotion and heart is in the right place, but that's why I am not left. I like thinking logical when I am not trolling. I know s* about guns and I am happy to admit it. But I'll still say that while I support guns in some instances, I generally hate the NRA. Glad that you are logical and knowledgeable about the subject. Yeah taking away guns is only going to harm law abiding citizens. Bad guys don't care for the law anyways. The NRA has kinda gone off the deep end. They are too commercialized these days. --- ~Yuki~ <cite>DragonGirlYuki posted [p:898289356] in "Why ...

In 1973, the diagnosis became sexual orientation disturbance, and then disappeared completely in 1987, largely because of gay rights advocates. Historical suicide rates for homosexual men was <20% going back to before it was openly accepted in society, so the idea that it's a societal problem and not a personal problem isn't based on the actual evidence. Even assuming the most generous recorded rates, Trans people are still committing suicide at twice the rate of homosexuals during the AIDS epidemic. It's a very real problem, and we need to find a way to deal with it, but plugging your ears and screaming that "If society was nicer it would go away" is at best not helping the problem, at worst making it harder to solve. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
