This week saw bold headlines proclaiming that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) is set to remove “gender identity disorder” from its directory of mental illnesses. The coverage was met with elation by activists supporting sexual deviance, but the excitement may be overblown.The latest version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, will reclassify “gender identity disorder” as “gender dysphoria.” The new guidelines say patients will be diagnosed with “gender dysphoria” if they display “a marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender.”
