The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), is the 2013 update to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the taxonomic and diagnostic tool published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). In 2022, a revised version (DSM-5-TR) was published.[1] In the United States, the DSM serves as the principal authority for psychiatric diagnoses.[2] Treatment recommendations, as well as payment by health insurance companies, are often determined by DSM classifications, so the appearance of a new version has practical importance.

The update process was highly questionable as two primary professionals were opposed to certain recommendations regarding gender dystopia; accused of promoting ‘hurtful theories’, especially advocating the idea that children who are unambiguously male or female anatomically, but seem confused about their gender identity, can be treated by encouraging gender expression in line with their anatomy.”[90] According to The Gay City News:
Dr. Ray Blanchard, a psychiatry professor at the University of Toronto, is deemed offensive for his theories that some types of transsexuality are paraphilias, or sexual urges. In this model, transsexuality is not an essential aspect of the individual, but a misdirected sexual impulse.
An over arching warning of manipulation of this revision process was that the members had to sign nondisclosure agreements effectively making the revision process secretive as never before done. Also, pharmaceutical companies were given unusually high influence. The normal process of securing public comments was changed. Percentages as high as 70% of members were identified as having been corrupted by connections and financial relationships that would alter their independence and objectivity. Standard review and requirements for clinical support and documentation for major alterations were set aside. In summary, this revision was rigged with every ploy shyster’s have been known to use.
The money to be made from hormone drug and surgical “treatment” for what may have been merely temporary sexual impulse or confusion was tremendous and could no longer be delayed for actual clinical support. The fix was in and as has been recently shown there is no support for the excuse that suicide would be the result if “gender affirming care” was not pursued for children. A generation of children were to be sacrificed for the financial gain their mutilation would provide. Mentally ill and/or delusional adult sexual perverts could be given legitimacy by a fraudulent psychiatric diagnosis. The liberal government, Courts, media and Hollywood were all in favor of same-sex marriage and all things LGBTQ. The fraud of the century was foisted upon the vast majority of society that had no vote and little say over its own children’s future.
