There seems to be a lot of buzz with the latest announcements to the workgroup for the DSM-V revision, namely Doctors Kenneth Zucker and Ray Blanchard, two highly controversial people who are known for their unorthodox "reparative therapy" techniques and ideas concerning " ->-bleeped-<-."

(For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the concept of  ->-bleeped-<- (tough spelling!), it was a concept formed by Blanchard in 1989 who defined it as "a man's paraphilic tendency to be sexually aroused by the thought or image of himself as a woman."
