Being transgender does not mean you're mentally ill.Well, I think you're wrong.You only think I'm wrong because you don't understand transgender stuff.What are you 12?I understand it just fine. It's a disorder.You obviously don't understand it just fine if you think transgender and GID/gender dysphoria are the same thing.Let me guess, you think gender and sex are different things?Yes, because they are. I also think 1+1=2, and the Earth revolves around the sun.LOLYou know the guy who said gender and sex are different things (John Money) is fucking wrong and insane, right? His experiment on David Reimer trying to prove gender is a social construct failed and the guy committed suicide because of the shit done to him trying to make him think he was a female.

Quote from: Prime Servitor on June 04, 2015, 04:09:29 PMIt's classified as a somatic symptom disorder, so yes. Doesn't mean we don't need to be more accepting of transgenderism, or mental illness in general. When people are sick, you help them. End of story.You don't play along with them though.You treat them.

Stop pretending you wanted to have one, since you've been pretty hostile the whole thread.

You have a pretty fragile definition of "hostile."Quote from: Mad Max on June 04, 2015, 03:31:25 PMYou only think I'm wrong because you don't understand transgender stuff.That's hostile, and it's unnecessary. Especially when you don't know what the he'll you're talking about. Which is probably why you're angry, because you don't have the facts to back up your argument. I'm interested in a conversation. Not arguing with some crybaby that gets overly aggressive because people don't agree with him and his statements which aren't backed by sources or studies of any kind. If anybody's being triggered here, it's you.

You only think I'm wrong because you don't understand transgender stuff.

Not every problem can be treated through anti-psychotics or talking through them.Which is why we need to find a real solution.

But you wouldn't shun someone for being anorexic, and you shouldn't shun someone for being trans either. Treat the illness and don't be a dick, basically.I don't shun anybody.
