The only reason it was removed from the list of disorders is because it does not necessarily cause significant distress or impairment to an individual. There are other Disorders that fall into the same category, yet they are still considered a disorder. So I don't see why this one should be treated differently?
Actually it hasn't been removed from the DSM.
That being said, one can accept the science that suggests it is a disorder without being a jerk about it.
I don't go up to schizophrenics and tell them they're dumb for thinking they see things that aren't there. And if a doctor determines that the best course of action for someone with GID is reassignment surgery, who am I to say otherwise?
