For example, here is a *partial* list of links relevant to the DSM revisions controversy, at the TS Roadmap, that I have encountered in my various readings:
"On the Task Force, named as Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders Chair, we find Dr. Kenneth Zucker,
from Toronto's infamous Centre for Addictions and Mental Health (CAMH, formerly the Clarke Institute).
Dr. Zucker is infamous for utilizing reparative therapy to "cure" gender-variant children.
Named to his work group, we find Zuckers mentor, Dr. Ray Blanchard, Head of Clinical Sexology Services at CAMH and creator of
the theory of autogynephilia, categorized as a paraphilia and defined as man paraphilic tendency to be sexually aroused by the
thought or image of himself as a woman.
Also Dr Ann Lawrence, a supporter of his JUNK SCIENCE, is understood to be in consideration as an alternate member.
We, the undersigned hereby object to their inclusion on this committee, and object to the hurtful theories they promote.
In order to have any credibility in the field of gender identity, the DSM must not include discounted theories or junk science.
We ask that they be removed at once as members."
The above individuals believe that individual Gender ID (to include Transsexuality and Intersexed conditions) is nothing more than systems and workings of paraphillia, deviancy, a "delusion of sexual identity", even more specific: either all Transsexual/Transgendered individuals are either an extreme form of "Homosexuality" (including the shaky theory of "Early Homosexual-Transsexual" dichotomy), Autogynephillic (a male paraphilic tendency to be sexually aroused by the thought or image of himself as a woman). The influence on the outcome of the new DSM-V by the people mentioned above, will prove to be disastrous for thousands of Gender Conflicted individuals desperately seeking corrective treatment.
We're requesting your valuable help and participation, providing written testimony (which will be provided to the general DSM review board, media and public), and expertise on the realities of Transsexual/Transgender, Intersexed Gender Identity."
