To: The Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders Workgroup of the DSM-5 Development Task Force of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the APA Board of Trustees, officers and membership.

Re: Pending revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

We, the undersigned, call for the complete removal of so-called "Transvestic Disorder" (302.3) as a diagnostic category from the next DSM.

They will not listen to any petition. After all THEY are the 'experts', while we are just a pack of deviants who are trying to politicaly manipulate science and medicine for our own agenda.
As long as a therapist can make money from a disorder it will stay in the DSM. The clinical psychologists are the real problem, they have no clue what is really going on in the trenchs so to speak. They sit in thier offices and labs concosting theorys that impact the rest of the world.

80% of crossdressing is a fashion issue and not a psychological deal at any rate.  It's far more Vogue then the DSM.
