Progress

From a Draft Standard of Care (PDF) from the UK Royal College of Psyciatrists.

2.1 Definitions

The experience of this dissonance between the sex appearance and the sense of being male or female is termed gender dysphoria. The diagnosis should not be taken as an indication of mental illness.

Appendix A Legal Rights of Transgendered People Section A.1

It should be noted that a Court of Appeal in Madrid ( Katia vs IMSALUD 2003) found that, as an Intersex condition, transsexualism should be treated on an equal basis as other "corrective" intersex surgery.

We're getting there.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
