  1. How did the American Psychiatric Association (APA) take a previously well defined mental disorder and redefine it to be aka “gender fluid”. Below is a copy of the changes from DSM-4 to DSM-5

    Highlights of Changes from [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)] DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5

    Gender Dysphoria
    Gender dysphoria is a new diagnostic class in DSM-5 and reflects a change in conceptualizion of the disorder’s defining features by emphasizing the phenomenon of “gender incongruence” rather than cross-gender identification per se, as was the case in DSM-IV gender identity disorder.

    In DSM-IV, the chapter “Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders” included three relatively disparate diagnostic classes: gender identity disorders, sexual dysfunctions, and paraphilias. Gender identity disorder, however, is neither a sexual dysfunction nor a paraphilia. Gender dysphoria is a unique condition in that it is a diagnosis made by mental health care providers, although a large proportion of the treatment is endocrinological and surgical (at least for some adolescents and most adults). In contrast to the dichotomized DSM-IV gender identity disorder diagnosis, the type and severity of gender dysphoria can be inferred from the number and type of indicators and from the severity measures.

    The experienced gender incongruence and resulting gender dysphoria may take many forms. Gender dysphoria thus is considered to be a multicategory concept rather than a dichotomy, and DSM-5 acknowledges the wide variation of gender-incongruent conditions. Separate criteria sets are provided for gender dysphoria in children and in adolescents and adults. The adolescent and adult criteria include a more detailed and specific set of polythetic symptoms. The previous Criterion A (cross-gender identification) and Criterion B (aversion toward one’s gender) have been merged, because no supporting evidence from factor analytic studies supported keeping the two separate. In the wording of the criteria, “the other sex” is replaced by “some alternative gender.” Gender instead of sex is used systematically because the concept “sex” is inadequate when referring to individuals with a disorder of sex development.

    In the child criteria, “strong desire to be of the other gender” replaces the previous “repeatedly stated desire” to capture the situation of some children who, in a coercive environment, may not verbalize the desire to be of another gender. For children, Criterion A1 (“a strong desire to be of the other gender or an insistence that he or she is the other gender . . .)” is now necessary (but not sufficient), which makes the diagnosis more restrictive and conservative.

    Subtypes and Speciers
    The subtyping on the basis of sexual orientation has been removed because the distinction is not considered clinically useful. A posttransition specifier has been added because many individuals, after transition, no longer meet criteria for gender dysphoria; however, they continue to undergo various treatments to facilitate life in the desired gender. Although the concept of posttransition is modeled on the concept of full or partial remission, the term remission has implications in terms of symptom reduction that do not apply directly to gender dysphoria.

    What hoops will the APA have to jump through to redifine terms like “pedophile” to be “Minor Attracted Person (MAP)?

      1. The ancient Israelites had a treatment for this sort of thing that was 100 percent effective.

        The perv was buried up to his neck and the community threw rocks at his head till his skull cracked open.

  2. What’s most odd about it, is that they psychos in charge seem to be opposed to using therapy to orient the brain to accept the body, but fully on board with mutilating the body in an attempt to orient the body to the feelings of the mind…

    you’d be hard pressed to see them do the same for any other condition

  3. Ha! This guy is using a schtick approach. He reminds me of Loui Anderson. All the side long glances and Charlie Brown quiver lips.

    I do wonder what causes this.
    Is it just way too much estrogen in the water?

  4. Related, last night scrolling through the TV channels came across the Canadian Family Feud show. Wouldn’t you know it, there was a big, tall, huge ass tranny as the head of one team.
    ffs, society has been driven mad, and the elites, are love it. So few are left to question, what they are up to, everyone is being distracted, by the most bizarre things now days.
    Actually content, to be on the last half of the back 9.

  5. This purse makes you a woman?
    Yes.
    Takes purse: But it is mine purse now, have I become a woman?
    No, it’s my purse.
    No, I stole it, it is my purse, oh, and
    it does not make me feel feminine, so (runs over purse repeatedly with car, carefully destroying it and ALL it’s
    contents) does my purse, MINE, still make you feel like a woman?
    Yes.
    Takes small bits of purse and carefully sweeps up contents and drives off ( I have stolen your womanhood and you will never get it back!

    1. “Waaahhhh!!!!! He stole my purse and now I’ll forever be a man trapped in a man’s body!!”
