Homosexuality was declassified in 1981 as ‘not a pathology which “regularly caused subjective distress or was associated with generalized impairment in social effectiveness of functioning.’’[89] We applaud that right and just decision. Sexual and Gender Minorities (SGMs) should be protected from discrimination; gay and lesbian behavior is still condemned in many countries as well as religious districts in Canada.

However, today, the push to include sexual orientation together with gender identity is marked by magical thinking - with the introduction of trans identities, reality is the enemy. It is important to affirm a child in the body they were born into. It is magical thinking to do otherwise. People may succumb to fantasy to fit into a crowd that espouses magical thinking.
