Please be careful about using the word “disorder” when it comes to gender dysphoria. The APA reclassified it in the DSM-5 from “gender identity disorder” to “gender dysphoria” - the former treated it as a mental illness, and the latter is, in the APA’s own words, “part of the human condition”. The massive stigma about…

The diagnosis in the DSM-V is gender dysphoria.

So to answer your question kind of verbosely: Mental health diagnoses are officially categorized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) published by the American Psychiatric Association, which is usually referred to by the edition in question. The current (5th) edition is the DSM-5.

As someone who drives for Uber and Lyft in my spare time, I can say that there is a very easy path to losing money. The first month I drove, I put WAY too many miles on my vehicle for what I made. I have a schedule and found out a way I can maximize my profit, it took a couple months to learn how though.

The kind that hasn’t read the DSM-5 apparently. 

this is really going to stew your noggin but....what if this is a psychiatric disorder....that requires a physical treatment.....

Do you have a PHD in psychiatry? They are saying the opposite and since I started my transition, my quality of life has improved 100 fold. Estrogen turned out to be the best anti-depressant I’ve ever had.

Because people are bad at budgeting. They aren’t doing the math to see what they’re actually making.

what kind of “healthcare professional” considers psychiatric disorders not physical disorders? As if the two are mutually exclusive... Methinks you don’t know what you’re talking about.

These procedures are an actual healthcare professional? You must have skipped English classes while at medical school.

DSM-5 would like a word with your apparent inexperience in psychiatry...

All words are made up. Words and phrases change. If this isn’t a procedure that impacts you, then why does it matter if it’s called one thing or another.

Societal pressures can easily account for the disparity between straight cis people and queer and/or trans people when it comes to things like depression and suicide.

Cleaning the toilets at CVS doesn’t actually make you a healthcare professional.

Benefit of letting everyone know?

Americans: get every other movie before everyone else, complain about Europeans getting some Marvel movies a week early.

On your left...

2018 Inagural Wakandathon. First prize gets a Mind stone! Or Soul Stone, Time Stone, or some other valuable gem...

You’d better bring your A game to this year’s Wakanda marathon.

That’s nice. I always wondered why Europe gets them one week earlier and can spoil it. Also it will give one more week separation from Deadpool 2 and make late spring less congested. I can’t take another stretch like this month when every week there is something out I want to see but I probably won’t make it to all of…
