Gender Identity Disorder? - November 23rd 2011, 11:25 PM

Today my friend told me that he has Gender Identity Disorder, and I was pretty much wondering what a person who has this would go through on a daily basis, whether emotion-wise or physically or anything. Does anyone know anything about Gender Identity Disorder? I just want to understand it better. Thanks.

The term "Gender identity disorder" has been hijacked by the right wing fundies to mean gay or lesbian, attempting to categorize them as suffering from insanity and capable of being treated, so be careful what the person who says that means.


What just happened?

I was going to say, I do not think this is use in the modern DSM, but don't quote me on this. I thought that this is not just considered being transgendered, which is not a disorder. It's just a different state of being than the "normal",

Haha, yeah, I don't know much about it myself.

@Jaguar- I don't believe that he is simply gay.

The best thing I can recommend is to talk to your friend about it. Chances are they'll be relieved to have someone to talk to about it, and it will help you get a better understanding of it too.


Nothing in the world is
the way it ought to be.
It's harsh, and cruel.

But that's why there's us - champions.
Doesn't matter where we come from,
what we've done or suffered,
or even if we make a difference.

We live as though the
world is as it should be,
to show it what it can be.
