[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took AP psychology in FL. Why is the course now talking about gender and sexual orientation? Those aren't in the DSM[/quote]

If the course you took in FL never mentioned gender or sexual orientation, it was either already censored or you are old enough that your education occurred at a time when those things were considered disorders, in the way that DeSantis and his ostrich brigade would like.

From the College Board committee that developed the AP psychology curriculum in question:

"As a committee, we affirm that gender and sexual orientation are essential, longstanding, and foundational topics in the study of psychology. College-level introductory psychology students will encounter gender and sexual orientation as topics of study. Psychology graduates go on to pursue a range of careers and must be able to successfully navigate professional environments that will require familiarity with these concepts. To best prepare these students for college placement and careers in psychology, the topic on gender and sexual orientation will continue to be required in AP Psychology."
