Right and by the time GID got removed from the DSM, it wasn't at a point where you were going to get locked up.

If you check my recent post on this sub, there's an indication that GID was removed due to the influence of a few pedo fantasizing professors who's main goal was to push the boundary of allowable behavior.

Even among some transgender people, the removal of GID is a problem because it demedicalizes something which by definition requires medical intervention. Either through expensive psychological therapy or what they want, a full body transformation. It's a problem because now they want expensive medical care for something which is being defined as a non medical issue.

When gays were removed they required no additional care aside from possible therapy to deal with depression.

We didn't reject therapy and start demanding some other "thing". Now these very same people who brag about GID being removed from the DSM are also bragging about having 150 different self diagnosed mental disorders. They want everything except their mental illness to be a mental illness.
