“Gender Incongruence”

February 28 2010, 7:26pm

Well this is interesting, because my understanding was that "gender incongruence" would only apply to children, while GID would remain for adults:William Narrow, MD, the APA's research director for DSM-V, told reporters that the draft does remove the term "disorder" from the condition when applied to children, renaming it as "gender incongruence." For adults, gender identity disorder will remain in DSM-V but with substantially altered diagnostic criteria, Narrow said.It sounds like this has changed since then. "Incongruence" is a step in the right direction, though I would have preferred to see "gender variance" instead.Read more comments by Joshua Riverdale
