wasn’t there an article a year or so ago saying that professionals (APA?) concluded that transgenderism is a deviant behavior? Has that report been buried?
The DSM (the psychology ‘Bible’) long ago was converted from a manual to a political plaything.
Psychologists have always had to fight against claims that their field was not a science - this is why, in the old days, they were over-the-top with their sampling accuracy/statistics, peer review, repeatable results, etc. They wanted empiricism to reign (no pun intended).
Then homosexuality was arbitrarily reclassified in the DSM - probably by homosexuals - and the floodgates broke. Skepticism was replaced by indulgence. Science was replaced by emotion. And here we are.
Don’t know about the APA but John Hopkins actually did studies and concluded that it is a mental health issue that requires therapy not surgery
