Those of you who can access it may wish to comment on it as well.
All this ‘’change who I was born as’’ comes from Michael Jackson and his plastic surgeries combined with bleaching.
Transgender is definitely a serious, mental illness as is homosexual, lesbian, “gay” or whatever they call it.
The whole “mental illness” thing is a surrender to Freudianism, which was one of the first pseudosciences to attack both public and private morality and declare that there were no moral absolutes. Better to call “transgenderism” what it is.
Likely the former Chief Psychiatrist did not conform to the standards currently in vogue regarding sexuality and nutjobery.
Transgenderism is difficult to understand. When you talk to a man who is pretending to be a woman, are you talking to a real person, or is it just a ‘Persona’ ? Is the real person a man struggling with femininity, or it the real person the female persona? I really don’t know and can easily get lost trying to make sense of it all.
Of course it is a mental illness.
I have no idea why the far left is so enamored of the idea of treating people with mental illnesses as if they are normal, just because the illness is centered around sexuality.
Clearly, someone claiming to be transgendered has a LOT of issues. One’s gender is a fundamental aspect of one’s being; to reject it is a rejection of self that stops just short of suicide. Pretending that it is normal does not help that person at all.
I would say, from what I have observed of “gays” is that they do not suffer from misdirection of their normal desires, but that they are scared of intimacy with members of the opposite sex. This is just another example of how the left victimizes these people.
True, we do not have instant cures for these conditions. But it is irresponsible and cruel to refuse to try to help them, even with our current less than optimal treatment options.
As is homosexuality, regardless of what the APA says.
“Transgender” is a Mental Illness and Should be Treated as such”
So is being attracted to members of your own sex - but good luck with that!
implying that a lot of this “transgenderism” was in fact twisted adults projecting these feelings onto children.
Yep, just like homosexuals.
I feel strongly both ways...
Yes.
Suppose I didn’t like my ears where they are, and had a “doctor” cut them off and put them somewhere else. I would be immediately known as mentally ill.
But cutting off other parts of the body and throwing them into the trash bin now earns a person the distinction of belonging to America’s latest victim group.
Transgender is the result of anti-Christian brainwashing imo.
