※ 引述《lioualan (亂馬)》之銘言：
: 昨天接到朋友的轉寄信
: 是關於最新版DSM5與性別認同障礙診斷的消息
: 看到最後發現跟整個LGBT都有關係
: 轉貼給大家看一下
: ..................................................................
: Message:
: The American Psychiatric Association has announced the members of the work
: groups who will review scientific advances and research-based information to
: develop the fifth edition of the APA's Diagnostic & Statistical Manual
: of Mental Disorders - the DSMV.
: As I am sure you are aware the DSM is used as a reference source worldwide
: by clinicians and researchers as well as insurance companies, pharmaceutical
: companies and policy makers.
: The expert just named to chair the revisions on sexuality and gender is
: Kenneth Zucker. Zucker is famous for forcing gender-variant children into
: reparative therapy in an attempt to 'cure' them.
: Zucker has named Ray Blanchard to the work group that will rewrite Gender
: Identity Disorder. Blanchard coined the term autogynephilia to describe men
: with an erotic desire to be women and proposed a theory that all trans women
: could be usefully classified as either autogynephiles or extremely
: effeminate gay men who needed to become female to express their sexuality.
: The fact that Zucker and Blanchard are even involved in the revisions on
: sexuality and gender is a scary idea as it could mean that the DSMV
: recommends that trans people are put into reparitive therapy - which is
: effectively conversion therapy. It is also likely that Gender Identity
: Disorder would be diagnosed as some kind of homosexuality rather than have
: an independent diagnosis - homosexuality would be back in the DSMV and
: classed as a mental illness.
: I would be grateful if you would help by spreading the word about an online
: petition which can be found here:
: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/objection-to-dsm-v-committee-members-on-gen
: der-identity-disorders and also to contact the American Psychiatric
: Association to put some pressure on them to consider removing Zucker and
: Blanchard from the DSMV work groups.
: This really does effect everyone in the LGBT community as the DSM is used
: worldwide. It is likely that these 'experts' would push to reclassify
: homosexuality as a mental illness and recommend that LGBT people be
: prescribed reparative therapy as a 'cure'. I believe that we need to let the
: APA know what we think.
: Please let me know your thoughts on this matter and any suggestions you
: might have for further action.
: Thank you for your time
: Kath Murray
