    I’m glad that the medical community is improving the procedures on how to care for the trans community like with the introduction of DSM 5 and with WPATH 8.

    This will make it harder for anyone who listens to the facts to be transphobic.

      Unfortunately, the people who claim to listen to facts often only listen when someone agrees with them.

      Not if it really is the world’s largest psych association. Just stating facts.

        like i said in this context its misleading it makes it look like this is the UN of psych when its not. this has no impact on the rest of the world and the headline wants to imply it does. it can even be misleading in just America.

          Transphobes, it doesn’t matter what you show them, they’ll find a way to ignore it…

            It is amusing to watch in real time as someone justifies their position despite an overwhelming majority of experts disagreeing with them. I envy what self-esteem stupidity grants.

            And just to be clear, I’m talking about the dummy making weak justifications above you, not the person to which I am replying.

            “A majority of dentists say…” (What! Dentists aren’t the majority of the planet! This is misleading!)

            Real high-level reasoning there, ace.

            just calling everybody transphobes will only be to your detriment. its overused.
