Very good. You do understand the difference between persecution and discrimination.

Yes, it was wrong to label it a disorder. We have for centuries been treating them so badly that it for many has become a mental disorder but it did not have to be that way. The catholic religion was mostly to blame for that. In ancient Rome it may not have been everyone's cup of tea but gay sex was generally accepted and legal, it remained that way until the catholic religion became prevalent in Roman society, then it became a crime punishable by death.
Do you not think that the influence of "religion" in general has caused a very negative, brutal and criminalizing attitude around things like homosexuality and being transgender? I find it terrible that the incidence of suicide is so high, and my attitude seem to be "**** them"? Nope, my attitude is to love and embrace them and make the world realize that there is nothing wrong with them, nothing they cannot talk about or feel insecure about so that they really do feel embraced and not insecure/persecuted and the number of suicides among them can come down. I want to help them but not by calling what they are a mental disorder but that the people who do not embrace them and accept them are the ones who truly have a mental disorder..
so was it wrong before they edited gender dysphoria out of the DSM?
Gender dysphoria*(GD) is the distress a person feels due to a mismatch between their*gender identity*and their*sex assigned at birth. People who experience gender dysphoria are typically*transgender. The diagnostic label*gender identity disorder*(GID) was used by the*DSM*until it was renamed*gender dysphoria*in 2013 with the release of the*DSM-5. The diagnosis was renamed to remove the*stigma*associated with the term*disorder.[4]
Washington Post: Ben Carson made dismissive comments about transgender people in internal meeting, attendees say - CNNPoliticsWhat persecution.
This thread is worthless without *before pics.
Hate to be the one to break this to you but gender dysphoria is still a mental disorder.
Dismissive comments aren't persecution and lots of cis-gendered Lyft drivers have also been assaulted

Gender dysphoria is a disorder because it causes an excessive amount of anxiety and distinction in one's life. Transgenderism, which is different, but usually the cause of GD is not a disorder. Even when the individual has had SRS, they are still a transgender. They are still an individual who was born with a sex that did not match their gender.Why is it a disorder ?
why can't a person declare one gender at birth be considered another in later life ?

Anyway the question occurred to me, to what benefit to we get by assigning any gender at all to a person ?
You have stats on that? GD doesn't automatically require SRS to be relieved. In some cases, just being able to present as their gender is enough. In other cases, only top surgery is needed. Now if you want to talk about those misdiagnosed, that's a separate issue.And most frequently still afflicted with gender dysphoria.
Are you sure that's a definition of disorder ?
Religious doubts could have a similar effect
Would a transgender person not suffer from anxiety ?

Do you know how mental disorder is defined?
They can and do declare such things everyday....
...Their sex is identified in 99% of the cases. It is only when their genitals haven't normally developed that the Dr assign a sex.
From an article on Saybrook University's website:
A behavioral or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual
Reflects an underlying psychobiological dysfunction
The consequences of which are clinically significant distress (e.g., a painful symptom) or disability (i.e., impairment in one or more important areas of functioning)...
...must not be merely an expected response to common stressors and losses (ex. the loss of a loved one) or a culturally sanctioned response to a particular event (ex. trance states in religious rituals)
Primarily a result of social deviance or conflicts with society...
...convenience at first, especially with infants. Plus, the majority of the time, gender does match sex, just like a majority of the time the person will be right handed. However, once they start to recognize their own gender, a trait not physically evident, then is when we should start honoring it.

They, them, those people. Can you be more specific than "they" ?
Yes.
However the question was what benefit we get by a person having a gender assigned - other than is say sport ?
No I don't, do you ?

Those who wish to be "considered another (gender) in later life" different from their gender at birth....
...our conversation is regarding the transgendered. The intersexed is irrelevant.
