Talk:Gender identity disorder (view source)
Revision as of 18:41, August 15, 2007
, 18:41, August 15, 2007question on contribution
==Iran==
Source states:
*''The state health organisation '''may''' also subsidise his operations.''
Edit to mainspace says,
*''in Iran Gender Identity Disorder is recognized and sex reassignment therapy, and surgery is compulsory, '''and paid for by''' the state''
Now, the question is between the meaning of the weasel term "'''may'''" in the source document, which is a weak source to begin with, being only a news item and not [[fatwa]] or official government ruling or document, and the eidtors declarive statement here, "'''and is paid for by'''", which presumably is some sort of support for a [[planned economy]] or [[socialized medicine]]. The credibility of the contributor is at stake here. While this is a very interesting and "enlightening" contribution, I would respectfully request an explanation as to ''why'' this distortion from the source being cited?
