World Health Organisation: Transgender no longer a ''mental health condition''
“Transgender people are fighting stigma and discrimination that can be traced in part to medical systems that have historically diagnosed expressions of gender non-conformity as a mental pathology,” he said.
“Governments should swiftly reform national medical systems and laws that require this now officially outdated diagnosis.’’ Reid argued that while mental health issues play no part in a person’s gender identity, the oppression of transgender people can lead to psychological damage and suffering.
