Concerning what other conditions, besides gender dysphoria, do you differ with the American Psychiatric Association, the American Medical Association, and the World health organization?"yes, I'd like a pack of Marlboros, a fifth of Jack Daniels, a cool tattoo and some genital mutilation, please"
" sorry, kid, you know as well as I do that you aren't allowed to drink and smoke or get a tat, but if you step though this door, a nurse will be along shortly to attend to your genital mutilation"
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association describes “gender dysphoria” as a conflict “between one’s experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender, [accompanied by] significant distress or problems functioning.” The focus of psychologists, counselors, and psychiatrists is on relieving the distress experienced by those with gender dysphoria rather than aligning the mind's perceived “gender” with their biological sex.
