Following this, a detailed description of homosexuality clearly identifying it as a medical disorder was included in the DSM-2 in 1968, replacing what was only a brief mention.<a href="#cite_note-:18-27">[27]</a> Medicalisation of homosexuality and its public visibility reached a peak in the 1950s and 1960s in the United States and to a lesser extent in the United Kingdom, with <a href="/wiki/Gay_liberation" title="Gay liberation">gay liberation</a> movements in divisive political contest with psychiatrists and others in support of the medicalisation of homosexuality.<a href="#cite_note-:19-29">[29]</a> Up until the 1970s, psychiatrists who disclosed they were homosexual would become at risk of losing their job and having their <a href="/wiki/Medical_license" title="Medical license">medical license</a> revoked.<a href="#cite_note-:20-17">[17]</a> These protests are historically considered largely in response to studies from Bieber in 1965, and later Socarides in 1972 which asserted the medical status of homosexuality as an abormal disorder.

To appease both gay activists and advocates of homosexuality remaining a diagnosis, a disorder known as "sexual orientation disturbance" was introduced in a reprint of the DSM-2 to replace it. In 1980, the DSM-3 replaced SOD with "<a href="/wiki/Ego-dystonic_sexual_orientation" title="Ego-dystonic sexual orientation">ego-dystonic sexual orientation</a>" and reclassified it under a new category of "psychosexual disorders". The 1987 DSM-3-R omitted any direct substitution for homosexuality, replacing EDH with "sexual disorder not otherwise specified" which was defined by "marked distress about one's sexual orientation". This was later removed in the DSM-5 in 2013 without replacement.<a href="#cite_note-:22-28">[28]</a> Expressions of non-heterosexuality are now broadly considered to be normal variations of human sexuality, although continued discrimination results in worse mental health of this population.

At the time during the internal drafting process, there was criticism from feminist members of the APA, who claimed that research on people assigned male at birth (AMAB) was inapplicable to those assigned female at birth (AFAB). In response to the critiques, different standards were established between AMAB and AFAB children, with AFAB children being excluded from being diagnosed with GIDC if they transitioned for the "perceived advantages" of being male. However, absent from the discussion was prior research indicating a relationship between <a href="/wiki/Gender_variance" class="mw-redirect" title="Gender variance">gender nonconformity</a> and homosexuality. Later investigation by Jem Tosh has shown that GIDC was based on research which worked under the assumption that treating gender nonconformity in feminine AMAB children would prevent them from becoming homosexuals as adults. This was desirable, as adult homosexuality was seen as more difficult to change.<a href="#cite_note-:22-28">[28]</a> This line of reasoning, that gender nonconformity and homosexuality develop primarily in childhood, was proposed as a justification to allow parental intervention to force such treatments onto children.<a href="#cite_note-:22-28">[28]</a> This has been described as a "recycling" of homosexuality into new medicalised disorders GID and GIDC; although the name and diagnostic criteria changed, the same gender nonconforming and homosexual behavior was medicalised in the process.<a href="#cite_note-:22-28">[28]</a> The groups responsible for revising gender identity disorders in the 10th edition of the <a href="/wiki/International_Classification_of_Diseases" title="International Classification of Diseases">International Classification of Diseases</a> (ICD-10) and the DSM-4 into the DSM-5 have been noted to share the experts <a href="/wiki/Jack_Drescher" title="Jack Drescher">Jack Drescher</a> and Peggy Cohen-Kettenis. Due to the ICD not being restricted to psychiatric disorders like the DSM, it has been argued that this ICD revision had the potential to demedicalise transsexualism by including it in a non-psychiatric category, which would still allow insurance provider coverage for treatments in healthcare systems. Instead, the <a href="/wiki/World_Health_Organization" title="World Health Organization">World Health Organisation</a> decided to create a new category for GID and related conditions called "conditions related to sexual health".
