Diagnosis
.^ Homosexuality per se is one form of sexual behavior, and with other forms of sexual behavior which are not by themselves psychiatric disorders, are not listed in this nomenclature" (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) July 1974).
^ This diagnostic category underwent several metamorphoses in several editions of the DSM III, including establishing a separate category of "ego-dystonic homosexuality" (for those who were "unhappy" that they were homosexual) to the ultimate elimination of the word "homosexual" from the DSM III Revised 1987 as a scientific category (APA Diagnostic Criteria DSM 'Ii; American Psychiatric Association, Washington, D.C.) A reversal of the decision by the Board of Trustees would require two hundred members requesting a referendum.
^ Instead, the false step of removing homosexuality from our Diagnostic and Statistical Manual was substituted.
The ICD-10 incorporates
transsexualism,
dual role transvestism and
gender identity disorder of childhood into its
gender identity disorder category, and defines transsexualism as "[a] desire to live and be accepted as a member of the opposite sex, usually accompanied by a sense of discomfort with, or inappropriateness of, one's anatomic sex, and a wish to have surgery and hormonal treatment to make one's body as congruent as possible with one's preferred sex."
[4] The DSM does not distinguish between gender identity disorder and transsexualism, and defines
transvestic fetishism as a separate phenomenon which may co-occur with transsexualism. The DSM diagnosis requires four components:
[5]
- A desire or insistence that one is of the opposite biological sex (that is not due to a perceived advantage of being the other sex)
- Evidence of persistent discomfort with, and perceived inappropriateness of the individual's biological sex
- The individual is not intersex (although a diagnosis of GID Not Otherwise Specified is available, which enables intersex people who reject their sex-assignment to access transsexual treatments)
- Evidence of clinically significant distress or impairment in work or social life.

homosexual male transsexual." This usage is considered by many to be scientifically inaccurate and clinically insensitive today.
