It certainly changes the entire meaning toward a pro-”gender fluidity” interpretation. No surprise though, from the APA which lost its objectivity long ago on many matters relating to gays and other aspects of the liberal agenda.

"You ask how the patient feels, if they think they are dysphoric. Those that think they have a problem have a problem; those that don’t think they have a problem don’t.”

I feel disphoric when I read this kind of crap. Under these guidelines, Hitler was merely misunderstood, not a homicidal maniac. This interpretation would make the white supremacist Sikh temple killer a victim of people who had done him no harm, not their executioner. I'd really like to have the APA try that one on for size.

Psychiatry long ago became a secular religion.
It has now completed the transition, so let’s call the APA what it really is:

Satan’s House of Worship.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

The APA is a communist tool.

Psychiatry is as much a science as is global warming.

And is as respected by real scientists.

“a right-winger can’t go out and say all trans people are mentally ill...”

Um...I’m a right-winger...and trans...through a lifetime of knowing trans in social settings, group therapy and etc, I can say unequivocally that I have never met one trans - including myself - who was not mentally ill to one degree or another.

Most are functional...some are far too out there to be helped.

To move transgenderism out of the “disorder” category is a stupid mistake that is probably being done to cater to the gender-queer/gay lobby.

“We wanted to send the message that the therapist’s job isn’t to pathologize.”

The therapist doesn't "pathologize" by calling it like it is.

When they normalize all mental illnesses, who will need psychiatrists anymore?
