Raheretic from The Heron Clan, has in a recent post drawn my attention to a petition to have the DSM which identifies anyone who enjoys BDSM or even "just"adult consensual spanking and Domestic Discipline as having a "mental disorder", changed. Please see the above linked post and the quoted text below. I would encourage all of my readers to sign the petition, you can hide your name from display in the petition if you wish.
"The NCSF, National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, that advocacy arm of the BDSM and polyamory community, is mounting a campaign to influence the A.P.A. to change the DSM to conform to empirical research, and abandon the stigma and ignorance based biases it has relied on in its past pronouncements about BDSM. NCSF has done an excellent job in laying out the case for how inappropriate this is in their "White Paper" on this topic.
There is a petition to the A.P.A. to change how it deals with our lifestyle. Please sign the petition urging the A.P.A. to make this change."
