France de-lists transgenderism as a mental illness

France has become the first country in the world to declassify transgenderism as a mental illness. Health minister Roselyne Bachelot announced in May last year, that the country would move to de-list the condition as a mental illness. A government decree on Wednesday confirmed the change.

Medical opinion once held that homosexuality was a mental illness. It was removed from the list of mental disorders by the World Health Organization in 1990.
