If you “transitioned” to a female during your prime…

[Red Dog]

It is a psychological issue pure and simple. The sooner that we realize that this is about mental illness and start treating it as such, the better off we will be. It's no different than someone with Body Integrity Disorder. Those people feel like their body isn't their own and have an intense desire to amputate a major limb or severe the spinal cord in order to become paralyzed.

Even if we agree it is purely psychological, transitioning is the best option available to treat the illness. Gender-affirming surgery is proven to lower depression and suicidal ideation. Until we have a better option to treat it, this seems like the best route

I'm absolutely serious. There is no science out there that proves that a person that "identifies" as a sex other than they were born is legitimate in their feelings. It doesn't matter if you're on the religious side of things (where it evidently doesn't make sense) or the scientific side of things (where from an evolution and procreation standpoint it doesn't make sense). People that "identify" as sex other than what they were born as and what their genetics state that they are, make up less than 1% of the world's population. It is time that we stop catering to that crowd.

Do you feel the same way about people who are gay?

Everyone knows that all have to do is "Pray the Gay Away."

Once people accept Jaysus, everyone will be banging sluts in no time. The Christian way.

What Is Gender Dysphoria?

Gender dysphoria involves a conflict between a person’s physical gender and the gender with which he or she identifies. Learn more at psychiatry.org.

The point being is that if you chalk it up to nothing more than mental illness, you're ignorant at the very very best. Yall are so dense and hateful it blows my mind.

There is nothing ignorant about stating that there is no scientific proof that justifies the position that they identify as a sex other than what they genetically are. For someone that was all about the "science" when it came to COVID or Climate Change, you're sure quick to not need it in this case.

It's actually very ignorant. The mental gymnastics required for you to make that leap is impressive, though. How much research have you done on the topic? Or have you just been repeating what you've been told? There is some very interesting research and literature out there on the topic.

You also never answered my question about people who are gay. Do you chalk their sexual orientation up to 'mental illness' as well? Can it be solved through therapy?

Are you saying the American Psychiatric Association is transphobic, or they lack expertise?

Also, not sure how you "fear" Trans people. Have you seen them? Not very fear inducing.

Then why do you rail so hard against them constantly? Why do you hold so much contempt for them?

I have no contempt.

I just don't like seeing men dominate women's sports. It's wrong.

Remember what this thread is about.

Don't think you understand what the DSM-5 says about transgenderism champ.

Not Jai, but Gay and Trans are not the same.

Enlighten me.

100% positive you can pull yourself up by the bootstraps and google your way to this one.

I'll stick with the APA.

Lol. Goddamn you are an ignorant, shit sipping colostomy bag. DSM-V is published by the APA.

I hate to break it to you but your rage is misguided. Men aren't dominating women's sports. Get over it.

Well no shit Sherlock. Just keeping him honest. His argument for disproving trans people is 'because science' and is the same type of justification that people like yall used to excuse hatred and bigotry towards gays.
