Gender Dysphoria Switched From a Disease to a Right

The United Nations usually seems useless for any constructive purpose, but its agency the World Health Organization has just achieved an astounding feat. It has cured the severe form of mental illness that reduced Olympic hero Bruce Jenner to a freakish laughing stock. This was ingeniously accomplished by declaring that gender dysphoria is no longer a disease but now a human right.

Chirps Gay Star Health,

The World Health Organization (WHO) has made history and removed gender dysphoria from its list of ‘mental disorders’.

The WHO maintains the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). According to the newest revision, it will no longer be considered mental illness for a man to believe himself to be a woman, in contravention of objective biological reality. Here’s why:

Dr Jack Drescher, a member of the ICD-11 working group, wrote: ‘there is substantial evidence that the stigma associated with the intersection of transgender status and mental disorders contributes to precarious legal status [and] human rights violations’.

This form of insanity is now a human right. Maybe we can declare cancer to be a human right and cure that too.

The adulteration of the ICD for political purposes confirms that the top priority for the WHO is to promote leftism, not health.

Here’s an example of the oppression that Persons of Gender Dysphoricness experience as a result of their condition being regarded as a mental illness rather than a human right:

Governments often require a ‘gender disorder’ diagnosis as a precondition for changing transgender people’s names and gender markers on official documents. Advocates have argued that diagnoses [sic] imperils basic rights like work, education, and travel.

At least it will now be easier to save a bundle on your car insurance by switching to female.

Are militant deviants happy, now that pandering progressives have granted them another big win in the Culture War? Of course not. Give a bully your lunch money, he will want your allowance too. The LGBT brigade will always demand more.

Barks Mauro Cabral Grinspan, executive director of GATE (Global Action for Trans Equality):

‘Intersex people around the world have the right not only to be protected from pathologization, but also to have full access to reparative justice and to universal health coverage.’

Reparative justice. That sounds ominous. Universal health coverage is scary too, considering how much it costs to treat horrific diseases like AIDS that are spread by the LGBT community.
