But that doesn't make it a disorder. It's included to help those who suffer from it get insurance coverage and the mental health care that they need. Often people who aren't accepted for who they are become depressed, anxious, suicidal -- because whatdoyouknow living in an environment that is often openly hostile and unsafe can do that to a person. It isn't because any mental health professional thinks there is something inherently wrong with them. Actually, as a whole we're pretty accepting.
