A thought
The new curriculum blithely adds this note, "Transgender refers to someone whose gender identity or expression differs from conventional expectations for their physical sex. This term includes transsexual and transvestite. (Source: American Academy of Pediatrics, Pediatrics, Vol. 92, No. 4 (Oct. 1993), pp. 631-34)"
Yep, no reference at all to gender identity disorder.
(The irony here is that the above link is one of the resources that the advisory committee recommended but isn't included in the lesson outline.)
