GD is being used as a political weapon. To acknowledge it as a mental disorder would undermine its power by validating the fact which is being claimed by a class of people whom the parties waging the war wish to silence. Sufferers are being made into a protected class and celebrating their disease as a normal life choice is being enforced.

This is being furthered despite the demagogues behind this knowing that it does nothing to help the people dealing with the condition. It has nothing whatsoever to do with compassion.
