I should note that the same APA that removed homosexuality from it's list of mental disorders, somewhat recently attempted to remove pedophilia* from it, and has removed genital mutilation (transgenderism) from it as well.

Not All Pedophiles Have Mental Disorder, American Psychiatric Association Says In New DSM

*(if HRC founder Terry Bean feels bad about raping children, then it's a mental disorder, if not, he's perfectly normal).
The APA Removes "Gender Identity Disorder" From Updated Mental Health Guide

Again: If you feel badly about taking a surgical knife to genitally mutilate yourself so that you can pretend that you're a member of the opposite sex, then you have a mental disorder.
Wow, that's the guideline Donald Trump's military is using to allow certain transgender people to serve.
"Transgender persons with a history or diagnosis of gender dysphoria are disqualified from military service with three exceptions:
"1) those stable in their biological sex for 36 months prior to accession
"2) those in service diagnosed with gender dysphoria who do not require a change of gender and remain deployable
"3) those in service who received a diagnosis before this policy took effect may continue in service in their preferred gender and receive appropriate medical treatment
"Transgender persons who require or have undergone gender transition are disqualified from service.
"Transgender persons without a history or diagnosis of gender dysphoria may serve in their biological sex."

Speaking of Donald Trump: He has a new bestest friend.
