Disordered - regressing transgender rights to the Dark Ages

Imagine my surprise at finding information today (thanks, 'droid) which indicates the American Psychiatric Association is positioning itself to take our view of transgendered folk, and possibly our view of lgbt folk overall, backward.

A petition site has been established to give voice to our objections. Quoting from this site:

On the Task Force, named as Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders Chair, we find Dr. Kenneth Zucker, from Toronto infamous Centre for Addictions and Mental Health (CAMH, formerly the Clarke Institute).  Dr. Zucker is infamous for utilizing reparative therapy to Ccure gender-variant children.  Named to his work group, we find Zuckers mentor, Dr. Ray Blanchard, Head of Clinical Sexology Services at CAMH and creator of the theory of autogynephilia, categorized as a paraphilia and defined as  man paraphilic tendency to be sexually aroused by the thought or image of himself as a woman.
Also Dr Ann Lawrence, a supporter of his JUNK SCIENCE.. is understood to be in consideration as an alternate member.

Sigh. The American Medical Association has been moving towards the light, but the APA seems headed for regression. It all serves to make me ill. Please sign and let them know we have no desire to revisit the dark ages of gender identity.
