As a psychiatric rehabilitation practitioner, we have been saying this for years! Stop pathologizing clients and encourage them to reimagine their life role goals that were shattered by mental Illness and addiction. Help them reclaim their roles and develop a purpose and personal meaning!

3. WHO and UN recognise that women and girls, people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and **transgender** are more likely to be labelled as mentally ill, and more likely to face forced sterilisations, coerced abortions, coerced contraception, and conversion therapies.

Transgender is a mental issue and the world needs to stop lumping them in with gay, lesbian and bisexual women who have a sexuality that isn't heterosexual, whereas many transgender people are straight. Kind of warped isn't it when 'women' who are trans are called 'men' so this would mean they're including men in this.... So much greatness while completely missing the point the ol' UN and WHO.
