The DSM-5 is the book used to educate doctors on how to treat patients with various types of mental illness. Does the DSM-5 still have it listed as a mental disorder?

The other day a friend linked me an article.
It was also from WHO and it said that gaming causes mental disorders.

Good stuff.

The thing that kind ruins these jokes is that there is another topic with WHO on the front page no one there is making these jokes.

Gay people aren't limited on time as their body morphs into a body they hate. The faster the acceptance, the better for trans people. The slower, the worse. If a teen is rejected by their parents in the help of moving forward and they are forced through male puberty, it causes massive stress on them.

Gaming disorder does not imply gaming is inherently bad. Just that some individuals can take gaming to such an extreme it affects every facet of their life. Much like alcoholism or a gambling addiction. You're full of it if you haven't met or know of someone who takes gaming waaaaaaaaay too far at the expense of other things in their life (i.e., making payments, career advancement, relationships, etc).

"mutilating your genitals" isn't because of the implication of untreated gender dysphoria (higher rates of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicide). People still confuse that one, since it's the distress one experiences from the mismatch of one's gender identity. Not the gender misidentity in the first place.

Perhaps if it ever was uncovered as to the mechanism of gender identity neuroanatomically and it could be "corrected" before/shortly after birth, it would be a different discussion. Until then, at this moment in our current understanding and capability the option is let them reassign through hormone replacement or surgery, because what the fuck is the other option? Have them experience mental distress because it mildly upsets your intuition of how the brain works? Trying to "reason" with them, or convince them "it's all in their head" doesn't to anything to alleviate their symptoms, so doubling down on stupid because you can't wrap your mind around it is pathetic.

Then you were wrong. Not all of us were. I am 31 and I just had my SRS. I was questioning myself when I was 13.

Family rejection leads to stress and is an outside stimulant. By no way does the stress or depression come from being trans in this case. If all families just abided to helping their trans kids, that 40% would be significantly slashed.

Any medical professional (i.e. a psychiatrist) will understand normal human development. In the sense that gender nonconformity (e.g. a boy playing with a doll) can be common and developmentally normal. Most will grow out of it, too. A child expressing sentiments regarding transgenderism doesn't mean they actually are and isn't treated as such. It's when it is sustained over developmental periods that it becomes recognized as such.

The point is some don't and are the genuine cases. The people against everything germane to transgenderism think doctors are sexually reassigning pretweens at the first mention of nonconformity. It highlights just how little real world experience or exposure to this issue they have.

Seriously, everyone is such an armchair quarterback on this issue. Especially when it doesn't affect them.
