A Chinese court has upheld a ruling that a textbook description of homosexuality as “a psychological disorder” was not a factual error but merely an “academic view”.

The Chinese LGBT community, and the 24-year-old woman who filed the lawsuit, have expressed disappointment at the decision, handed down last week by the Suqian Intermediate People’s Court in the eastern province of Jiangsu.

Ou Jiayong, who also uses the name Xixi, said the court’s decision about what constituted a “factual error” was “random and baseless”.

In 2016, during her first year of study at the South China Agricultural University in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, Xixi came across a psychology textbook that described being gay as a mental disorder.

The 2013 edition of Mental Health Education for College Students, published by Jinan University Press, listed homosexuality under “common psychosexual disorders” – along with cross-dressing and fetishism. It stated that homosexuality “was believed to be a disruption of love and sex or perversion of the sex partner”.

The textbook is used by a number of Chinese universities and Xixi was concerned that it was perpetuating the belief that being gay was wrong.

In 2017, Xixi sued the publisher of the textbook, and online retailer JD.com that stocks it, demanding that it remove the reference and publicly apologise. She said the book was “poor quality work” as the statement was wrong, with no scientific basis to back it up.

Late last year, the Suyu District People’s Court in Suqian ruled in favour of the publishing house, saying that the opposing views of Xixi and the publisher were due to differences in opinion rather than a factual error.

In November, Xixi, now a social worker in Hong Kong, appealed against the ruling, but it wasn’t enough to sway the appeal court, which last week handed down its decision to uphold the previous judgment.

She said she believed the evidence she had provided was enough to prove the description of homosexuality as a mental disorder was wrong.

“Maybe this ruling is to reduce controversy,” she said. “But it has also allowed textbooks that pathologise homosexuality to continue circulating, which is a pity.”

Xixi’s lawsuit attracted a groundswell of support from China’s LGBT community, which publicly expressed disappointment at the case’s outcome.

Ah Qiang, spokesman for the Guangzhou-based non-governmental organisation PFLAG, a local peer support group for families and friends of the queer community, compared the textbook description of homosexuality to people believing that the sun revolved around the earth in its inaccuracy.

“The editor of the textbook apparently used viewpoints that do not match society’s perception of sexual minorities today,” Ah Qiang said.

China decriminalised homosexuality in 1997 and it was removed from a list of mental illnesses in 2001. But homosexuals who are “discordant with themselves” or who feel anxious or depressed because of their sexuality are still listed in the official Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders.

The World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1990.

Xixi said that while she had exhausted all legal avenues available to overturn the ruling, there was still much more work to be done and a long way to go to address the situation.

“My lawyer and I will have some public sharing sessions, write up notes with others in the community and see if there’s anything else we can follow up,” she said.

This is a great victory for free speech! Not many countries in the world have the freedom to challenge the homosexual agenda!

Its not only a Mental illness but also it defies human nature. Ban it, and let the western values stay in west.

Given the fact that Egypt is One of the oldest civilizations in the world, they have had nice views of other people living in other parts of the world. They called West (Europe) land of the dead and/or land of darkness.
Europeans might have stolen chemistry and other Sciences from Muslims and then became colonial savages and made some technological advancements, they still live in the same darkness of dirty values that Egyptians had described already.

Again, a well made decision by Chinese court, this only shows that Chinese are a civilized people not a bunch of homosexuals.

Homosexual behavior is a combination of Nature and Nurture, so it is not something you are born with, your life experiences and traumas play an important role in someone coming out or declaring oneself as homosexual. But in the world we live in today, if you even try to talk about this you will be labeled as Homophobic, you will be bullied on Social media and the company you are working with will be forced to kick you out.

God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

They don't believe in God, the majority of the people who identify as LGBTQ+ community are either Agnostics or Athesits.

Not anytime soon, it is their time and the time of Fitna and Zina as Allah told us, these people will flourish and will be considered the best among us ( unfortunately ), the thing is that the louder their voices will become the more confused they will make their agenda, take the Trans people as an example the 3rd wave Feminists and Free the nipple gang was having the time of their life until dudes dress up as girls/women and start invading women's personal space and sports and stealing all the opportunities from the biological Women, it creates a massive difference between Feminists and Trans people, they even clash on multiple occasions, I personally believe that they ( LGBT ) will make their own idea's confused and illogical, all we have to do it still back and watch, remember first there were 3 Genders, then comes a time when there were 10+ Genders, and now they say Gender is fluid, and even go as far as saying there are Millions of different genders haha.

take Elliot Page as an example, She was a girl and married to a girl and call herself lesbian, recently she came out as Trans man, which makes her a straight person because she is still in relationship with a women, so she is a " male " in relationship with a female, and yet she wants to call herself lesbian LOLLLLL , There are many dudes now who just wake up one day, dress as girls and say we are girls, now they have access to women/girls bathroom that is something scray, and also these dudes are taking parts in women sports and breaking records, while Biological girls are struggling against them because of there biological disadvantages, this whole situation is a shit show, but the thing is one can not talk about it especially in west, there was a time when LGBT people just ask for acceptance and not discrimination, now they are shoving their agenda down to everyone's throats and you can not say anything against it.

animals also have such tendencies. They also have mental disorder?

 

[I S I]

It's definitely a mental disorder. Only a mentally sick person will like to put his veiner in a shit hole.

animals also have such tendencies. They also have mental disorder?

So when are you marrying francis disouza?

 

[GumNaam]

well done.

 

[PakistaniAtBahrain]

animals also have such tendencies. They also have mental disorder?

do we look like animals? some animals cannibalise each other. should we do the same?

 

[Iltutmish]

animals also have such tendencies. They also have mental disorder?

Are you an animal? There are also animals eating their own children after giving birth to them.

Why some animals eat their young

Not all animals are cut out for motherhood. Some will abandon, neglect, even kill their own young. It's part of nature, biologists say. But when animals in zoos kill their own babies, zookeepers become "mom". It's not an easy job.

Although not related to this topic, male animals regularly kill the offspring of females they mate with, still want to use them as a benchmark?
Have you seen how large lizards, African wild dogs etc devour animals whilst they are still alive?
I can go on.

Don't discriminate against homosexuality between consenting adults, but don't normalize it either. It is a behavioral disorder detrimental to an individual's biological reproduction.

Good good. I am glad the chinese are not following the deeds of sadom and gomorrah.


All those who follow Sadom and gamorah in deed will also follow them in the punishment

This is being done intentionally to make gender identity a confusing burden so that the next generation does not identify as any gender. Which is actually a value of satanism. Sataists dont believe in gender identity and identify as no gender.

So basically this is being done to normalise satanism in the guise of tolerance and atheism
