  Trans people not crazy: Time to say sorry

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) has released a statement on its website urging the 'de-psychopathologisation of gender variance' worldwide. But while this is a good move, there is still much change needed within the organisation, writes Tracie O'Keefe.

After years of campaigning by many trans civil rights activists and members of WPATH the old psycho-pathologising guard within the organisation has been defeated.

They were a clutch of sexologists, psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists who earned their living from proffering the concept the trans people were crazy.

Good to see my very dear friend Russell Reid being vindicated at last. Long overdue in my opinion. But then as he is one of my best friends I suppose my opinion is slightly  inevitable. Still nice to see his name being finally cleared though.
