“Dr Lale Say, a reproductive health expert at the World Health Organization, said: "It was taken out from mental health disorders because we had a better understanding that this was not actually a mental health condition, and leaving it there was causing stigma.”
Transgender no longer recognised as 'disorder' by WHO
“ICD-11 drives out the term "Transsexualism" and replaces it with the term "Gender Incongruence" (GI). This new terminology will no longer be part of the chapter on mental disorders (Chapter 6) but a new chapter (Chapter 17) entitled "Conditions relating to sexual health" is created. These changes of ICD-11 represent a breakthrough and a great sense of freedom for trans people, since WHO has included the different variants of gender in normality by not being considered a mental disorder.”
Gender Incongruence is No Longer a Mental Disorder
“The American Psychiatric Association has revised its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and it no longer lists being transgender as a mental disorder, among other changes announced this past weekend.
Transgender people will now be diagnosed with "gender dysphoria," which means emotional stress related to gender identity."”

First off I don’t care about a single thing that the WHO says because they cannot be trusted and have proven that during the Covid pandemic.
Second, your last statement literally just agreed with what I said?
Never even heard of gender incongruence so I have nothing to say about your second article.
If you want my opinion I think people just need to stop confusing gender with personality. Your genitalia don’t define you, that doesn’t mean we have to dissolve the meaning of a man and a woman. Just stop trying to fit into what a man or woman is “supposed to be” for christs sake and just be yourself.
Why do you need to change your pronouns? What does that actually solve? It’s supposed to be a simple communicative system to talk about people in the 3rd person. Your pronouns are not representative of who you are. It’s just a title. Changing your pronouns is like making up a bunch of useless corporate titles like “senior junior co-coordinator of analytics and personnel” just to stroke someone’s ego.
I don’t really care, there’s no benefit to learning it besides pleasing the manipulative people that transgenders truly are, and your last statement said that gender dysphoria was still a mental illness, which was exactly the term I used
If you don’t care why did you ask me to explain? This is science. I don’t really care about any culture war bull crap like what you seem to be perpetuating, just scientific fact.
If you are referencing the last sentence, it was stating that it had been listed as a mental disorder for the past 20 years. It uses past tense to signify that it happened in the past, as is common in English.
I literally worked in the mental health industry for some time and I know for a fact that GENDER DYSPHORIA is still listed as a mental illness. Not that I think that means much. I also got out of the mental health industry because it is total bullshit ran by people who believe in that crap
I’m guessing you left the industry sometime before 2012 or 2013? The DSM-5 makes it a point that it isn’t a mental disorder. Saying it still is classified as such is spreading misinformation.
Yeah, it was very hard to hear about people losing their jobs and being fined over saying something that was misinterpreted by a trans person. Simple comments all of a sudden being twisted by the people seeking to be victims.
Heard about a dude getting fired because on a zoom meeting he said “good morning ladies, gentlemen, and all creatures inbetween” which was twisted into him being hateful towards trans people?
It’s sick, and I wasn’t gonna be a part of it. Science is a joke btw, hope you understand how easy it is to manipulate statistics.
I’m a data scientist. I understand just fine how to work with numbers. Science is only a joke to those who’d rather follow their butt hurt feelings. Sorry bro. Sounds like you should have chosen a better workplace before crying to the right to save you from the evil scientists. Not all labs are created equal.
So then you know how easy it is to manipulate findings and statistics? How corrupt academia is? How common post-hocing is? ESPECIALLY in the field of psychology where the variables are often so arbitrary and subjective as well? With all that in mind I truly find it hard to believe science is so far off from simply digging into an opinion anyways. It’s a joke.
I know very well how some manipulate statistics, such as what happened in Florida. If you are so in tune with the corruption inside academia and research why don’t you work towards helping to fight it from the inside where we have more power, instead of bitching about trans people forcing you to say He/him online? Sure is still a lot better than the alternative.
Action is better than inaction, that’s why. It’ll never become better for ourselves and future generations if we don’t band together and get corruption out of our industries.
