2003. International Mr Leather John Pendal becomes official supporter of the Revise F65 movement.

2007 – The WHO coordinator Dr. T. Bedirhan Ustun invites Revise F65 to cooperate about the forthcoming ICD-11.
2008 – WHO’s Senior Project Officer Dr. Geoffrey M. Reed asks Revise F65 for documentation.
2009 – Sweden removes their national fetish and bdsm diagnoses patterned after the Revise F65 model.
2009 – Revise F65 delivers the first report to WHO’s Working Group on Sexual Disorders and Sexual Health, documenting that BDSM/sadomasochism and violence are two different phenomena.

2018 – June 18, 2018 the World Health Organisation removes the three fetish and bdsm diagnoses globally. All recommendations from Revise F65 are taken into account in the revised ICD-11 classification, because the diagnoses of Fetishism, Fetishistic transvestism and Sadomasochism, according to WHO’s Working Group, not are ”relevant to public health and clinical psychopathology”, but ”merely reflect private behaviour”. The new classification consider Fetishism and Sadomasochism as variants in sexual arousal and psychiatric diagnoses can no longer be abused to harass, silence, or imprison leather men and bdsm women. Stigmatization of fetishism and bdsm are, according to WHO’s Working Group, inconsistent with human rights principles endorsed by the UN and the WHO.
