AB - In 1990, homosexuality was officially excluded from the diseaselist, However, transgender identities still remains as a mentaldisorder. Since 1900s, medical discussions on transgender havebegun. In 1980, the American Psychiatric Association add‘Transsexualism’ and ‘Gender Identity Disorder’ in DSM-III.
The pathologization of transgender identities has brought socialstigma and discrimination against transgender people. Therefore, asthe transgender human rights movement has grown up in 1990's,discussion of de-pathologization has developed. In addition, healthmodel of transgender has been shifted from pathology model toself-declaration model. In 2013, the American PsychiatricAssociation revised ‘gender identity disorder’ as ‘gender dysphoria’,which is less pathological terminology. In addition, at 2018. 6. 18.,World Health Organization release ICD-11, which removed ‘genderidentity disorder’, ‘transsexualism’. This revision means thattransgender identity is no longer classified as a mental disorder.
De-pathologization of transgender identities is not only related to medical context, also associated with how transgender is treated andrespected in social context. In this respect, discussion ofde-pathologization should be accompanied by changes in genderbinarynorms and structures which suppress transgenders.
