British Psychological Society response to DSM-V supports OII's assertion that intersex is not an illness, disease, disorder or medical condition but normal variation

THE Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) of the American Psychiatric Association proposes to reclassify those intersex people who reject their erroneous sex assignment at birth as mentally ill, ensuring that many intersex people will be classed as both mentally and physically disordered (that is, diseased, sick or ill). Such intersex people are to be included in the DSM-V's section on Gender Dysphoria.
