The American Psychological Association has issued guidance on what it calls “Gender-Affirming Psychiatric Care,” and what the rest of us would call mutilating the mentally ill.\u00a0 Even assuming that you think of these things the way I do, the guidance put out by the APA is worse than you imagine, and has provoked a healthy response from people pointing out how very unscientific, un-medical, and inhumane it all is.<\/p>\n

I stumpled across a tweet by Christina Buttons (@buttonslives), whom I had never heard of.\u00a0 It was re-tweeted by Columnist Rita Panahi of Australia’s Herald-Sun newspaper, which is a righteous outfit. She frequently appears on SkyNews Australia (which is firmly in the conservative sphere, unlike plain old SkyNews from the UK — very different beasts).\u00a0 Anyway, one of the best reasons to follow an account on Twitter is not necessarily for what that person says, but for the things they bring into your view, such as Rita re-tweeting Christina. And this Christina Buttons has done magnificent work digging through the document and explicating what’s in there one tweet at a time.<\/p>\n

Here’s where another neat bit of technology comes into play: the ThreadReader application which stitches together (“unrolls” into a single doc) a series of tweets for convenient reading.\u00a0 Christina’s tweet series rose to the top of ThreadReader’s most-requested unrolls today, and it is worthy of the honor.\u00a0 From the ThreadReader single-doc version of Christina’s write-up<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) released\u00a0its Gender-Affirming Psychiatric Care (GAPC) textbook and it\u2019s crazier than I thought. In a recent op-ed, @Miriam_Grossman and @LHSchwartzMD call it a \u201cpolitical manifesto posing as a scientific guide for mental health care.\u201d🧵<\/div>\n
The authors of the GAPC claim the sex binary is \u201cmythical,\u201d created by \u201cEuropean colonial influences,” and that scientific neutrality is a \u201cfallacy.\u201d \"Image\"<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
It says trans-identified youth are oppressed from \u201cliving in a cis heteronormative society\u201d created by \u201ccisgender people in power.\u201d \"Image\"<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

There’s more — the write-up continues for a bit, and includes links to other efforts, including a public letter now gathering signatures.\u00a0 I intend to sign.<\/p>\n

The APA is not alone in its lunacy, but it is one of the most important offenders.\u00a0 Not only is this a shocking example of the inmates literally<\/em> running the asylums, but the APA is the defining authority for mental illness<\/em> relied upon by most of the rest of the propaganda and indoctrination apparatus.\u00a0 The whole leftist edifice of government, education, media, and downstream medical institutions rely upon the APA to determine what constitutes various mental illnesses.\u00a0 Increasingly, illness is defined into normalcy and mere facts are called oppression and evil, and we are well down the road to plain-old normalcy being defined as illness.\u00a0 You think it’s bad now — wait until the APA gets through with us.<\/p>\n
