Gender identity task force calls for nondiscriminatory guidelines,
better research and training BOSTON - The American Psychological
Association urged psychologists today to take a leading role in
ending discrimination based on gender identity, calling upon the
profession to provide "appropriate, nondiscriminatory treatment to
all transgender and gender-variant individuals" and encouraging more
research into all aspects of gender identity and expression.

That seems like a positive step. I am betting that Zucker and Lawrence kept the recommendation to delist GID from being passed by the work group.
