“…Transgender advocates have cited examples of the use of the categorization of transgenderism as a mental illness to the detriment of transgender persons in child custody disputes, employment, access to security clearances, marriage continuation, serving in the military, receiving mental or physical health services, and establishing policies for civil-rights protection (Vance et al, 2009). Winter et al (2009) conducted a world-spanning seven-country study of transprejudice directed at “transwomen” (male-to-female transsexuals) using a 30-item questionnaire and non-orthogonal factor analysis.…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine concepts, pertinent data, apparent dilemmas, and possible options for the resolution of these dilemmas.…”

“…The majority of transsexual people tend to reject the notion of being ill (cf. Ault & Brzuzy, 2009;Ehrbar, 2010;Vance et al, 2010). To them, GID is simply a variation within the wide range of gender expressions in humans.…”
