In loving, living memory, John Melançon 1928 – 2007
On the one hand having transexual identity treated as disease can get operations covered, on the other it implies that some people need to be changed, fixed, to suit other people's definitions of sex. But one thing is certain, no one who cares wants control-mad reactionaries to be in charge of rewriting the medical definition of "Gender Identity Disorder"
In particular, I want to point out that there is a sordid history of using psychological evaluations and methods to discredit and detain people.
This continues today -- well, actually without even the pretense of evaluations -- as immigrant detainees are drugged for deportation without medical reason.
You may be the group identified as a disease next.
But don't take me seriously, you know we jews are all paranoid.
