先簡單說明內容，是美國精神學會可能會把性別錯亂當作同性戀看待，
而把同性戀又列回精神疾病，然後會用回復的方式去治療。

原文信息
Message:

The American Psychiatric Association has announced the members of the work
groups who will review scientific advances and research-based information to
develop the fifth edition of the APA's Diagnostic & Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders - the DSMV.

As I am sure you are aware the DSM is used as a reference source worldwide
by clinicians and researchers as well as insurance companies, pharmaceutical
companies and policy makers.

The expert just named to chair the revisions on sexuality and gender is
Kenneth Zucker. Zucker is famous for forcing gender-variant children into
reparative therapy in an attempt to 'cure' them.

Zucker has named Ray Blanchard to the work group that will rewrite Gender
Identity Disorder. Blanchard coined the term autogynephilia to describe men
with an erotic desire to be women and proposed a theory that all trans women
could be usefully classified as either autogynephiles or extremely
effeminate gay men who needed to become female to express their sexuality.

The fact that Zucker and Blanchard are even involved in the revisions on
sexuality and gender is a scary idea as it could mean that the DSMV
recommends that trans people are put into reparitive therapy - which is
effectively conversion therapy. It is also likely that Gender Identity
Disorder would be diagnosed as some kind of homosexuality rather than have
an independent diagnosis - homosexuality would be back in the DSMV and
classed as a mental illness.

I would be grateful if you would help by spreading the word about an online
petition which can be found here:
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2 ... ttee-members-on-gen
der-identity-disorders and also to contact the American Psychiatric
Association to put some pressure on them to consider removing Zucker and
Blanchard from the DSMV work groups.

This really does effect everyone in the LGBT community as the DSM is used
worldwide. It is likely that these 'experts' would push to reclassify
homosexuality as a mental illness and recommend that LGBT people be
prescribed reparative therapy as a 'cure'. I believe that we need to let the
APA know what we think.

Please let me know your thoughts on this matter and any suggestions you
might have for further action.
Thank you for your time

=====译文=====

消息：美国精神医学会(APA)宣布工作小组成员将回顾科学进展，以研究为根据的资讯来
发展APA诊断&的第五版；精神错乱之统计学手册－DSMV。

我相信大家都知道DSM手册是全世界临床工作者、研究者、保险公司、制药公司、政策制
订者的参考源。

Kenneth Zucker是最近被提名主持sexuality和gender修正版的专家。他有名在力推
gender-variant小孩进入转变疗法(reparative therap) 以尝试"治愈"他们。

而Zucker提名Ray Blanchard到将改写性别身分错乱这部分的工作小组。 Blanchard创造
autogynephilia（女性幻想症）这个名词来描述男性带着性欲来成为女人，并且提出理论
－所有transwomen通常可分类为autogynephiles(女性幻想症) 或需要变成女性来表现性
生活的极度女性化、衣着华丽的男性。

事实是，Zucker和Blanchard在sexuality和gender参与修正是可怕的，因为DSMV可能建议
跨性人(trans people) 进入转变疗法－有效的转换疗法。性别身分错乱可能将被诊断为
同性恋，而不是一个独立的诊断结果－同性恋可能会放回去DSMV手册，并且归类为一种精
神疾病。

我将感激，如果你可以帮忙散播这个网址的线上请愿书的文字：
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2 ... ee-members-on-gende\
r-identity-disorders

并且与美国精神医学会联系，施加压力让他们考虑除去DSMV工作小组里Zucker和
Blanchard这两个人。

这真正会影响到LGBT社群的每个人，因为DSM手册为全世界所使用。这些"专家"可能将推动
重新把同性恋列为一个精神疾病，以及建议LGBT做转变疗法的规定以作为"治疗"。我相
信我们需要让美国精神医学会知道我们的想法。

请让我知道你在这件事的想法，以及你可能会有进一步行动的任何建议。

谢谢您的时间。

我附註一個: 1970年這個精神醫學會將同性戀歸類為精神疾病，而在1980年之後，將
同性戀又從精神疾病中去除，視同性戀只是一種性對象的不同罷了。現在又要列回去?
