There are a lot of reasons why gay people do not typically have GID... the biggest indicator is that they are happy with their life. When lay people get ahold of some DSM criteria, they may not understand the actual meanings and intentions of that text, while even a psychiatrist/psychologist who is not familiar with GID itself would be able to assess the GID criteria, and state blatently, that it would not apply to gays and lesbians. --[[User:Puellanivis|Puellanivis]] 15:55, 24 July 2007 (EDT)

:Ok, so you've made the case why "the vast majority of homosexuals" do not suffer from GID (in the United States). Yet in the [[Gender identity disorder]] article you've stated, "in Iran Gender Identity Disorder is recognized and sex reassignment therapy, and '''surgery is compulsory''', and '''paid for by the state'''." Neither claim is supported by the underlying document you provided. [http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=11423] ''In fact,'' the underlying document '''contradicts''' what you have claimed:
:*state health organisation '''may''' also subsidise...
:*...one such theologian ...is even writing a thesis..."Teachers, colleagues and officials from the '''judiciary have been very encouraging towards my thesis'''... We have to differentiate between sex changes and homosexuality."... Kariminia acknowledges that he is under pressure...
:This is a far cry from "surgery is compulsory," as you have claimed. This needs some explanation, or proper sourcing, or you may be blocked from further editing for violating several of CP's core Commandments and Guidelines. Thank you. [[User:RobS|Rob Smith]] 15:24, 15 August 2007 (EDT)
