Comment invited on draft OII Australia submission on the SOC-7 and DSM-5

We have drafted a submission to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) 7th Standards of Care, and the APA's draft Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th edition.

We'd like to invite feedback on the proposed submission. We'd be grateful for any comments or thoughts by the end of Wednesday 23 May.

Feedback can be sent to info [at] oiiaustralia [dot] com. Comment can also be made on our Facebook page or in the OII Friends/Members Facebook Group.

~~Here's the draft submission in PDF format~~

UPDATE

The substantially different final document has now been submitted - copies available here.
