https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/nov/03/tavistock-centre-gender-identity-clinic-accused-fast-tracking-young-adults … "...we are always mindful that gender dysphoria is not in and of itself a mental health diagnosis." Umm, excuse me. Gender Dysphoria is a mental health diagnosis in the DSM-5. I don't understand the basis of this statement. Can anyone enlighten me? /1

Helpful to understand, but how do you even begin to challenge the WHO? I assume we’re stuck with the ICD-11 for decades now?

If you actually tell them they have a birth defect, as per their official diagnosis, they will ban you from their google groups!
Reality is what they say it is at any particular moment; "birth defect" is useful PR but they don't truly *believe* that & are offended by label.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

ICD-11, forthcoming 2022? Gender Incongruence will be a Condition Related to Sexual Health. Presumably, "Conditions" will be paid for by insurance companies.

There's "mental" component in the definition http://www.who.int/topics/sexual_health/en/ … any revisions forthcoming? How is sterilising and mutilating supposed to improve sexual health?
