scientific data..."[1]

diagnosis in the current edition IV-TR of the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders? [2] Where is the "sound
scientific data" to suggest, as do the title, diagnostic criteria and
supporting text of the GID category, that gender variant identities
and expressions are intrinsically "disordered?"
