Zucker is famous for forcing gender-variant children into : reparative therapy in an attempt to 'cure' them. : Zucker has named Ray Blanchard to the work group that will rewrite Gender : Identity Disorder. Blanchard coined the term autogynephilia to describe men : with an erotic desire to be women and proposed a theory that all trans women : could be usefully classified as either autogynephiles or extremely : effeminate gay men who needed to become female to express their sexuality. : The fact that Zucker and Blanchard are even involved in the revisions on : sexuality and gender is a scary idea as it could mean that the DSMV : recommends that trans people are put into reparitive therapy - which is : effectively conversion therapy. It is also likely that Gender Identity : Disorder would be diagnosed as some kind of homosexuality rather than have : an independent diagnosis - homosexuality would be back in the DSMV and : classed as a mental illness. : I would be grateful if you would help by spreading the word about an online : petition which can be found here: : http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/objection-to-dsm-v-committee-members-on-gen : der-identity-disorders and also to contact the American Psychiatric : Association to put some pressure on them to consider removing Zucker and : Blanchard from the DSMV work groups. : This really does effect everyone in the LGBT community as the DSM is used : worldwide. It is likely that these 'experts' would push to reclassify : homosexuality as a mental illness and recommend that LGBT people be : prescribed reparative therapy as a 'cure'. I believe that we need to let the : APA know what we think. : Please let me know your thoughts on this matter and any suggestions you : might have for further action. : Thank you for your time : Kath Murray --
