Lynn Conway points to some of the great work being done under the Stop Trans Pathologization 2012 aegis:
The start of the protest march against legal change of sex and control of one's own transgender body being held hostage to unneeded and unwanted psychiatry.
As a result of the publicity around this march and the Congreso that immediately preceded it, Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) presented at the Congress of Deputies (of Catalonia) a motion for debate in the Equality Commission which calls for policy changes no longer regarded transsexualism as a disease. The initiative calls for, namely to amend the law to eliminate gender identity requirements for diagnosis of "gender dysphoria" and medical treatment for two years to access the correct registration of sex.
