[Emerald]

Really the Uk labels it as a med condition??

ICD-10 Chapter V:
Mental and behavioural disorders >
Disorders of adult personality and behaviour>
(F64.) Gender identity disorders
    * (F64.0) Transsexualism
    * (F64.1) Dual-role transvestism
    * (F64.2) Gender identity disorder of childhood

Transsexualism is listed under "mental and behavioural disorders" in the IDC-10.

An IS can still be considered TS, just in another category of the DSM.
The DSM is like little boxes where they need to put people because
that's how doctors are.

If your male or female bodied and have GID, then your a TS
and need relief. What kind of hoops you have to jump through
to get there is totally irrelevant.
