The American Psychiatric Association thinks so, or is history repeating itself?  The new DSM-V, the medical profession's bible for diagnosing, is set to come out in May after delays caused by several areas of controversy.  But, the APA has a legacy of uneasy relations with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, having included homosexuality in the DSM's list of psychiatric disorders until 1973.  Some transgender activists want issues of gender identity kicked off the list of mental illnesses too.
