Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference · Patricia Gherovici · p.32
**DEPATHOLOGIZING TRANS**
Theoretical move: The passage argues that transgender identity is not a mental disorder and should be depathologized; the elevated rates of psychological distress, suicide, and mental illness among trans people are causally attributed to social stigmatization and marginalization rather than to gender incongruence itself, making the reclassification of trans identity a matter of clinical and political urgency.
In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association eliminated from its manual the diagnosis of 'gender identity disorder' and replaced it with the less stigmatizing 'gender dysphoria.'
