WHO says gender confusion not a disorder, but too much gaming is.

So, if you have a penis but think you are a girl, that is not a mental disorder. WHO likely removing that classification -

“It’s sending a very strong message that the rest of the world is no longer considering it a mental disorder,” said Dr. Michael First, a professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University and the chief technical consultant to the new edition of the codebook, which is known by its initials and the edition number I.C.D.-11. “One of the benefits of moving it out of the mental disorder section is trying to reduce stigma.”

Actually, it is not doing that. The rest of the world knows it is a disorder. WHO is just moving agendas along.

However, if you do a lot of gaming, now that may be a disorder - https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42541404

"It is significant because it creates the opportunity for more specialised services. It puts it on the map as something to take seriously."
But he added that he would have sympathy for those who do not think the condition should be medicalised.
"It could lead to confused parents whose children are just enthusiastic gamers."
He said he sees about 50 new cases of digital addiction each year and his criteria is based on whether the activity is affecting basic things such as sleep, eating, socialising and education.

How could a parent be confused by this? Teenagers never put priority over things like sleep, eating, socializing, or studying.

These international institutions are so valuable.

So you change it from a mental disorder to reduce stigma? Really? That may be the dumbest **** I ever heard. That's like making murder a misdemeanor because of the stigma a felony carries. Perhaps the analogy is a bit over the top, but normalizing something that obviously isn't normal doesn't do anyone any favors. Just makes it harder to get care when they have issues. It doesn't make sense to me.

I suppose pedophilia will be next. That movement is already underway. Incrementalism my friends. It is the way **** like this works.

Peter Fonda thinks it's okay.

You surprised by that? That ****** has a mental disorder. Dude is completely unhinged.

So is his traitorous pile of human garbage Jane.

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

Then I need medical coverage for free and a new bathroom to use for my gaming issues.

Already underway. Pedophilia is declared a mental disorder. Hey, just change the DSM 5 manual and poof!! No longer a mental disorder.

I think somebody predicted this. Can't remember who ...

Our new generation is too sensitive for such subjects



Millennials: ‘Snowflake’ Label Hurts Our Mental Health

CBS Local — Millennials have been labeled by many of their critics as a generation of “snowflakes.” The term has been used to slam society’s young adults and teens as hypersensitive and too easily offended.

Now, millennials may have just given older adults even more to roll their eyes at after a new study found a majority of the “snowflakes” think the term is harmful to their mental health.

According to the study, published by British health insurer Aviva, a staggering 74 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds in the UK felt the snowflake label could have a negative impact on someone’s mental health. 72 percent of those surveyed felt the term was unfairly pinned on their age group.

The study also found that nearly 60 percent of adults in the UK admitted the term wasn’t helping young adults shake the stereotype that millennials are “soft.” A separate Aviva report added that young adults in the UK were the most likely to have mental health issues; with 63 percent having suffered some type of condition.

In the United States, the cultural divide between millennials and older Americans may be even greater. The stigma surrounding “Generation Snowflake” has pushed some companies to refine their interview process in hopes of filtering out over-sensitive youngsters.

The Silent Partner Marketing firm made headlines in March after CEO Kyle Reyes created the “Snowflake Test” to help the his company and others sift through younger candidates.

Poor babies. I suggest an effort to find a suitable alternative. My first nominee:

Leftists in academia are the cause of this. Watering down scholarship to dumb down the population.
