My, My. Isn’t This Conveeeeeeeeeeeeeeenient?
From Lynn Conway:
American Psychiatric Association Press Release (of 5-01-08): “APA Names DSM-V Work Group Members - Experts to Revise Manual for Diagnosis of Mental Disorders”. Ken Zucker, who heads a reparatist clinic for gender-variant youth in Toronto, was named as Chair of the Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders Work Group for DSM Revision. Ray Blanchard, widely known for pronouncing that transitioned women are “men without penises”, was appointed as a member of that Work Group. Any bets on how this is going to turn out?
I’m putting two loonies on the Blanchard-Zucker-Lawrence-Bailey-Dreger loonies managing to completely de-legitimize our existence.
Of course, I can rest easy knowing that our good friends at HRC, who are so knowledgable about our issues because they tell us so, will expend as much time and money on combatting this as they do on promoting Cyndi Lauper.
Or not.
