From FTM’s livejournal community:

A suggestion of who to contact:

My best suggestion would be to contact the Public Interest Directorate at APA (202-336-6050). They staff the Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Concerns. Also you could contact Divsion 44 The Society for the Psychological Study of Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Issues. The President is Ruth Fassinger, 301-405-9995, rfassing@umd.edu

and a fabulously concise argument about why this situation is so concerning to the trans community by Kelly Winters:

Here is my short list of concerns about the current GID and TF diagnostic categories:

· Social stigma of mental illness thrust upon gender nonconforming children and adults regardless of presence of distress or impairment.
· False positive diagnosis of people who meet no scientific definition of mental disorder.
· False positive diagnosis of children, who have stated no desire to be the other sex, strictly on the basis of gender role nonconformity.
· Absence of exit clause for diagnosis of those whose gender dysphoria has been successfully ameliorated by social transition, hormones or surgery.
· Contradiction of the medical necessity of hormonal and surgical treatments, which are well proven to relieve distress of gender dysphoria.
. Implied support of reparative therapies, intended to change one’s innate gender identity.
· Misleading title of “Gender Identity Disorder,” suggesting that cross-gender identity is itself disordered or deficient.
· Maligning terminology, which disrespects transitioned individuals with inappropriate pronouns and labels.
· Pathologization of gender expression that would be ordinary or even exemplary for non-transgender children or adults.
. Introduction of very damaging nomenclature of ‘autogynephilia’ into supporting text.
· Classification of “fetishism” and sexual paraphilia for cross-dressing that is not necessarily sexually motivated.

Drakyn also has a list of email addresses and other contact details up at Monsters Creed.

I’ll post here when I have actually written something coherent to the APA.
