Transgender classification (1 Viewer)

[Fred Lane]

The WHO classification

On the one side, it states:

"A condition is designated as a mental illness when the very fact that you have it causes distress and dysfunction, said Geoffrey Reed, a professor of psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, a consultant on ICD-11 and co-author of the study. The study argues that this is not the case with transgender identity."

On the other:

"So why not remove the classification altogether, as was done with homosexuality? Because one of the primary goals of the reclassification is to also improve transgender people’s access to health care. There are often insurance-coverage differences between mental and physical illness, and one of the incentives for the authors of the study would be to close that gap."

Those who seek to de-stigmatize always want to rush past the science. We simply do not understand the biochemical authority of sexuality, so any classification is specious. If involved parties would stop rushing theories and advancing social agendas, they could get down to the science of understanding the hormonality spectrum, the autism spectrum, the polarity spectrum that is inside each and every one of us. Then, perhaps, we could make proper judgements upon them and regulate, anticipate, medicate appropriately.
