Being transgender does not belong in that company, critics say, and they argue it is long past time for the world’s leading health body to drag the document — last revised in the 1980s — into the 21st century.

Gregory Hartl, a spokesman for the WHO, said the ICD-10 doesn’t really list being transgender as a mental health disease — even if it is located in that chapter.

Uh....

“The conditions in that block are not mental diseases, and gender incongruence is not classified as a mental disease — although that block is located inside the chapter ‘Mental and Behavioural Disorders,’” Hartl wrote in an email.

When ICD-11 is published, being transgender will be listed in a different part of the document, potentially under conditions related to sexual health, said Drescher, who is a New York psychiatrist and a professor of psychiatry at New York Medical College. “So they’ll be diagnoses, but they won’t be mental disorder diagnoses.”

TL;DR: Document's outdated. Things are out of place. Those things will eventually be updated.

How is this about science proving gender dysphoria is a mental illness? It's just about criticisms of an outdated document. And those whole reason for keeping gender dysphoria in ICD-11 is for insurance purposes, not science.

But Drescher said the thinking behind retaining the diagnosis was that in some health-care systems, things that don’t have ICD codes aren’t covered by insurance.

“The harm caused by loss of access to care would be greater than the harm caused by the stigma. I think loss of access to care would be a terrible thing for people who wish to access services in the future. And I think that would do more harm to more people,” he said.

That aside, it was interesting article people should read it rather than just base it off the statements I cherry picked.
