Ending “Professional” Bigotry Against Transgender People
Professional organizations like the American Psychiatric Association (APA) have designated Transgender people “sick.”
Until 1973, the same “sick” designation was applied to gays – but protest forced a change. GLN’s Dr. Ronnie Drantz and Brent Holman-Gomez discuss the very political, and unscientific process by which Transgender people are currently designated as “sick” by the APA, and how that leads to the discriminatory treatment that Transgender people face.
