The Lancet

The   removal   of   transgender   identity   as   a   psychiatric   disorder   by   both   WHO   and   the   American   Psychiatric   Association  in  the  latest  editions  of  the  two  principal  disease  classification  systems  should  be  an  emancipating  event  for  transgender  people  and  health  professionals  who  support  them.
