Well, here we are, a few weeks after the Dr. Zucker/Dr. Blanchard/DSM-V issue flared up. And, apparently, my Blend diary Gender-Variant Children And Transsexuals Will Likely Still Be Disordered In DSM-V had something to do with the flaring.
Below the fold are excerpts and links to four documents that Dr. Drescher -- who also is on the same DSM-V workgroup with Dr. Zucker and Dr. Blanchard -- was kind enough to forward me. I added comment or two between some of the document excerpts to explain the importance of the documents, or just provide some additional information.
