In China, transgender people are pathologized as suffering from “transsexualism”, which is classified as a type of “Gender Identity Disorder” in the 3rd edition of the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders (CCMD-3).
We recommend that the public health authorities push for the amendment of "Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders, 3rd Edition" (CCMD-3) and rectify the entries of "sexual orientation disorder" to completely depathologize homosexuality and bisexuality.
