The parliament of Denmark, on New Year's Day voted in favor of removing the stigma from being transgender..."separating them from association with words such ads 'problem,' 'disorder,' or dysphoria.'"

Words matter. It was very important that terms like “incongruence,” “disturbance” and “problem” were left out of the code title used by the country’s medical community to track care.

The change makes it a code instead of a diagnosis.
