mentally ill.
From what I see, the only form of mental illness to the American Psychological Group of Wingnuts is.... Conservatism.
A person’s identity is what a person really is, not what one thinks he/she is. It’s what one is, in one’s nature. So a person’s identity cannot be changed. Identity comes from the Latin for “same.”
In many peoples’ minds, “identity” is whatever you think you are. Like believing that a Halloween werewolf costume makes one a werewolf. The delusion leads some people to have body parts cut off or simulated.
Yes, it’s a sacrilege.
I wish that stories like this, lacked behind paywalls, would not be posted.
There is quite a bit of conflict between standard homosexuals and transgenders.
For years, the homosexual view has been: “God made me this way. I cannot possibly change. It would be a great affront to send me to a medical professional like a therapist who would try to “fix” me and make me a heterosexual.”
Transgenders say: “God screwed up. I’m supposed to be a girl. I know it, even if God isn’t smart enough to know it. I deserve to change into what I really am. You owe it to me to send me to a medical professional like a surgeon who will fix me and make me a woman.”
These two views cannot be reconciled. They may both be wrong, but the point is that they cannot co-exist.
Be careful with this argument. It could be twisted and used against you.
For instance:
Since you or your baby were made with a cleft lip or other deformity, how can you legitimately fix that?
Since you were made with a tendency toward mental illness, how can you legitimately fix that?
If you can fix the one, why can’t you “fix” the other?
That’s the kind of argument that would be used against us.

Though human reason is, strictly speaking, truly capable by its own natural power and light of attaining to a true and certain knowledge of the one personal God, who watches over and controls the world by his providence, and of the natural law written in our hearts by the Creator; yet there are many obstacles which prevent reason from the effective and fruitful use of this inborn faculty. For the truths that concern the relations between God and man wholly transcend the visible order of things, and, if they are translated into human action and influence it, they call for self-surrender and abnegation. The human mind, in its turn, is hampered in the attaining of such truths, not only by the impact of the senses and the imagination, but also by disordered appetites which are the consequences of original sin. So it happens that men in such matters easily persuade themselves that what they would not like to be true is false or at least doubtful.He describes there everything that's wrong w/ modern "sciencccce!"
In India, they are called ‘hijras’, and the more you know about them, the weirder it gets.

“Eunuchs, transvestites, homosexuals, bisexuals, hermaphrodites, androgynes, transsexuals, and gynemimetics are some of the words used to describe the community. They are also called intersexed, emasculated, impotent, transgendered castrated, effeminate, or sexually anomalous or dysfunctional.”
