You say that "accepting and tolerating mental illness and its delusions" is harmful to society, citing that if we let severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia or let people amputate themselves or let people be dramatically underweight, that we'd be dismantling a healthy society.


You misunderstood

I say that forcing society to accept your truth as the truth is harmful 
If subjective truth replaces objective truth, our society will become a clusterfuck of ideals
Anyone can say whatever they like and we would have to accept it as truth

So my argument is not of a physical one but an ideological one

that person still leads a generally healthy life. They can hold jobs, they can have relationships, they can generally interact with people normally

You must have misread because this is exactly what I meant by socially functional 

You're literally contradicting yourself.
It is a literal fact that people are working very hard to try and solve it right now.
And you've stated that people are trying to make it not classified as a mental illness.
These two groups overlap immensely.

I have no doubt that people are working on it now

But the trans community is impressing on society there is nothing wrong with transgenderism
And there is nothing wrong with transgenderism socially but they are destroying any chance those people might have of fixing their problem by saying there is no problem

If a cure popped up tomorrow how many people do you think will go get treatment?
Very little because transgenders today are perfectly happy living in their bubble of delusion

Quote
We've had this conversation many times.
A negligible amount of people actually think being trans means you're not you're biologically sex.
We are asserting that there is a significant difference between gendered expression and sexual phenotype (which there is, if there wasn't, this couldn't be a topic) therefor it would facilitate more clear and easy communication in society if we can divorce the ideas of sex and gender, because having the two combined is both redundant and detrimental when applied to certain cases. Nothing about the divorce disrupts the use of the ideas in the context of normal people, and it just gives us better tools for understanding these situations and talking about them. It also makes life for trans people a lot easier when the two are separated.


Personally I think the concept of gender is irrelevant in today's society
Pink dresses no longer need to be associated to females and fighting no longer needs to be associated to men

That's not to say that transgender people still don't have mental disease but yes gender is a meaningless construct in today's society

Reminder that GID is its own separate category in ICD-10; it's not a psychotic disorder and it's not BDD. Delusions are not a symptom of GID.

I don't think you know what the word disease means, friend

Quote
Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior.

Sounds like transgenders would fall under here

the chromosome argument is a tired and worn out argument that just doesn't work

You only like to frame it like that because you don't like arguing against it

Yeah the one thing that determines sex is irrelevant to a discussion about it
Nice one

I never said it was the cure.

There is no cure for gender dysphoria.
There is no cure for gender dysphoria.
There is no cure for gender dysphoria.

There is no cure for gender dysphoria.
There is no cure for gender dysphoria.
There is no cure for gender dysphoria.
There is no cure for gender dysphoria.
There is no cure for gender dysphoria.

it just so happens that the best cure for gender dysphoria is acceptance, and allowing people to live their lives however they wish

I suppose it's too much to ask you to be accountable for what you say

Acceptance is just a thing that we HAVE to do in order for treatment to work.

I agree

Ok there is no cure for cancer right now
You don't say there is no cure for cancer and stop all research

Mental illness stems from problems in the brain
In many cases, that can be treated with medication and therapy

What do you base your claim that there is no cure on?

They're not delusional.

de·lu·sion

noun
an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder.

Here's the definition of delusion in case you're experiencing it right now

I fail to see the problem.

The problem is that you are a fascist little prick who thinks you are tolerant when you are just blind to your own bigotry  and your excuse for it is "I support the trans community so I'm a good person"

Uh, no. Not even close.

I'm saying that people who have gender dysphoria have a mental illness.
So we should do something to help them cope with their dysphoria.

...Like allowing them to live in a body they'd feel most comfortable in.

What you're saying is that we shouldn't find the cure for cancer, and that finding the cure for cancer would be damaging to society.

First off acceptance is never the cure to any mental illness
Yes we should accept them because it is a despicable thought to turn away anyone with a mental disability
But acceptance alone does not cure mental illness

It is a fallacy that you admit it is a mental illness yet you think the best cure is to leave them alone to fester in it

So the logic you use to arrive at the idiotic conclusion that finding the cure to cancer is socially damaging is flawed
Because we haven't found the cure yet

Quote
Because as other people have stated repeatedly, there is no other solution.

Go ahead and try wasting time, money, and resources looking for one. You will fail.

I don't see why you keep arriving at the conclusion that there is no other solution
Of course there is a solution
Gender dysphoria comes from the brain
Maybe from hormone offsets or neural problems

Once we find the cause, we can find how to return that to normal

Quote
And for what? Making a guy believe he's a guy?

Why is that such an important thing to have? Why does it matter?

Well because any time someone is delusional, we should help them
And the suicide rate among transgenders are some of the highest in history
Even slaves in the 18OOs didn't have this high of a suicide rate

But
Like I said
We live in a society where you don't have to care for my opinion
Just do not impose on society the need to change facts from objective to subjective

Quote
Bigots like you are detrimental to society; transfolk are not.

So me wanting society to maintain a level of objectivity is immoral
But using coercion and bullying to force people to accept your objectively wrong views is not?

You are clearly more intolerant than I am
Just because your cause is "socially progressive", it does not shield you from being a bigot

If you take away the words transgender and gender dysphoria, you are just pushing your own agenda, ostracizing everyone who disagrees with you

Oh for fuck's sake. And you wonder why people get so fucking pissed.

NO ONE IS SAYING MENTAL ILLNESS IS "ACCEPTABLE"

THE TREATMENT IS ACCEPTABLE

BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER TREATMENT

You are saying mental illness is acceptable by silencing those who disagree with you
I don't understand how
the best cure for gender dysphoria is acceptance, and allowing people to live their lives however they wish

Quote
Me being a good person who is considerate of other people's feelings, desires, and personal comforts.

If someone feels that they are a woman, who am I to say that they're not?
If someone WANTS to be a woman, who am I to say that they shouldn't?

You are no one to say that they shouldn't
Just as I am no one to say they shouldn't
So if you don't want to listen to me then fine

But do not teach something completely factually untrue just because it's convenient for your mental illness

Quote
If you don't accept them, you're not better than a racist or a sexist, and you should be killed.

Please tell me objectively how this is different from me wanting all transgenders to be killed

Yet that's exactly what you do to people who disagree with them
Because you deserve it, for being an idiot.

Trans people don't, because they haven't done anything wrong by being trans.

Right because wanting to prevent social harm is totally crossing the line
There is no "social harm," whatever the fuck that even is.

Yes it really is

You are teaching kids that mental illness is acceptable and there is nothing wrong with it
You are flaunting your subjective truth as objective
If society is going to value how someone feels over how something actually is, it'll be a mess

What is your basis for accepting transgenders?
Everybody has their own self definition and we should respect that right?
Well what happens when people say that they identify as animals and inanimate objects?
Or when they demand to live in the White House because "they feel it deep in their heart"

Take your logic to any logical extreme and it falls apart immediately

aight i've got a couple transgender people here that i know who i believe will put your fears to rest and acknowledge that gender dypshoria is a mental illness (even if transgenderism isn't). maybe we can see about getting their input. any other trans individuals want to comment? would be neat

That's just socially . . . stupid, in my opinion. You wouldn't go up to a schizophrenic person, a bipolar person, or a depressed person and say "you have a mental disease!" and point at them or something. Why would you call a trans person out?

Try telling a fat person that they're fat in public--especially on a college campus. See what happens.

It's generally rude to point out and state the obvious about people, you socially autistic cunt.

Of COURSE you'd get fucking shit on.

You're right that was a bad example
Let me rephrase

If you have a discussion about it and call it a mental illness, you will be viciously attacked

It doesn't matter how logical or factual your arguments are

Good comeback
I'm a closed-minded bigot because I have an open mind and I'm overtly un-bigoted towards people with gender dysphoria.

Great logic.

How do you have a open mind?
You support one cause but lash out against anyone who opposes that cause
That's the definition of closed mindedness
 
It doesn't matter that the cause is "socially progressive"
It's still closed mindedness in the highest order

You will be skinned alive if you dare to say that transgender people aren't normal
If you're getting skinned alive it's because you're saying something else retarded. No shit, most people aren't transgender. It's not normal to be gender dysphoric or to have to undergo transgenderism (transgenderism is normal for gender dysphoric people but you get the point).

What's important is that in social contexts they should be TREATED like normal people.

No one is saying they shouldn't

But try telling a trans person that they have a mental disease
Especially with a crowd around

See what happens then

Does anyone have any evidence of there being a suppression of research into dysphoria-nullifying drugs? i.e. something that would "make the feelings go away" in contrast with transgenderism. i still don't understand why people say "we should be researching this and clearly something would be found" if they're not experts in the research area and if they haven't already checked to see what has been done

ironically, i remember reading about a schizophrenic and gender dysphoric patient whose dysphoria was dispelled by his schizophrenia drugs but i can't find the research article anymore. . . .

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that research will no longer continue if society no longer considers it a mental illness

Once you stop classifying something as a mental disease, you stop trying to cure it
It's first grade logic

We should look into viable treatments and destroy this thought that it is something that is completely normal
No one is saying it's normal. It's obviously a malfunction that happens at birth. Ignoring the issue until this magical cure that will never exist comes along and makes everything right is going to do any good. It's not like accepting trans people somehow encourages it. And transphobia is obviously a big problem that they face which just makes their life harder. There's no harm that can rationally be attributed to encouraging an accepting society.

I never said we shouldn't accept them
I just say we should acknowledge that it's a mental disease

Even if you don't want to acknowledge that then fine
But what I'm against is the necessity for fictionalized thinking that the trans community is imposing on society

Gender dysphoria is a mental illness. Transgenderism is a treatment. Not that hard to distinguish the two. If you have a problem with transgenderism, at least call it malpractice or something that would make sense.

Ok sure
Gender dysphoria is a mental illness that we are normalizing
What do you mean by normalizing?

I mean that people now see it as normal and not a fucking mental disease
Uh pretty sure everyone sees gender dysphoria as a mental illness. What's the issue?

Have you ever taken the moment to analyze the difference between an untreated schizoids ability to function in society compared to a "untreated" (transitioned) trans person?

I mean I'd hope for someone as pathologically obsessed as you, that thought has crossed your mind.

Unless of course your definition of "ability to function in society" includes procreative sex, in which case you're entering full retard.
