      What is worse is how the custom-designed treatment programs for our community that are springing up make no provision for those of us doubly, triply or even quadruply oppressed [] This neglect is a symptom of the dysfunctionality afflicting our community: the degree to which we've permitted too many assimilationists to define the standards of identity for us all.
