Lolita Wolf's Predictions & Predilections

DSM Revision Petition

The DSM Revision Petition is gathering signatures from individuals and organizations calling on the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to adhere to empirical research when revising the diagnoses in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

Statements currently within the DSM Paraphilias criteria are contradicted by scientific evidence therefore NCSF must conclude that the interpretation of the Paraphilias criteria has been politically – not scientifically – based. This politically motivated interpretation subjects BDSM practitioners, fetishists and cross-dressers to bias, discrimination and social sanctions without any scientific basis.

Petition:
“We, the undersigned, support the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) own goal of making its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) a scientific document, based on empirical research and devoid of cultural bias. A diagnosis of a mental disorder can have a severe adverse impact on employment opportunities, child custody determinations, an individual’s well-being, and other areas of functioning. Therefore we urge the APA to remove all diagnoses that are not based upon peer-reviewed, empirical research, demonstrating distress or dysfunction, from the DSM. The APA specifically should not promote current social norms or values as a basis for clinical judgments.”

To sign, go to: www.thepetitionsite.com/1/DSMrevisionpetition
(You can make your signature anonymous on this secure petition site so it doesn’t appear on the Internet)

To find out more about the DSM and the Paraphilias section, read the NCSF & ITCR: The Foundation for NCSF’s “White Paper on the DSM Revision” at www.ncsfreedom.org

Please distribute to organizations and individuals and ask them to sign on!

In addition to TES elections on Tuesday night, as a New York Democrat, I have to vote in my local primary. These aren’t the big races that garner a lot of media attention, but rather races for like Surrogate Court and Civil Court. Local politics do make change, so it’s important to vote and make a difference.

The Mayor of Secaucus is trying to stop the EXXXOTICA New York convention. The Mayor should stop worrying about what consenting adults do at a private convention. Doesn’t Secaucus have real issues to deal with?

I’m preparing for Dark Odyssey Summer Camp. Whoo hoo! Camp is sold out. Oink Cabin will be very crowded this year with a great bunch of people. We are not a wild party cabin, nor are we a quiet cabin, but my cabinmates are conscientious of the other people in the cabin. Oink only has one rule: Don’t slam the door!

In June at Leather Retreat, Don Quixote gifted this paddle to the cabin. Of course we had to use it! Our rule had to be enforced several times. The paddle will be back at Oink for Dark Odyssey.

Midori’s next Rope Bondage Dojo will be in Kansas City, MO on October 18th and 19th. Like all the others, it will sell out!

I never thought of Toy Story this way.

Kinky is a documentary about Black Americans into BDSM.
