Transgender people will no longer be classified as “mentally ill” in Sweden, the country’s main national health authority has announced, in a decision widely criticized as overdue.

Sweden’s National Board of Health and Welfare, or Socialstyrelsen, announced late on Friday that it would no longer automatically apply the diagnosis “gender dysphoria” to transgender patients.

“…more than anything, this change has an important symbolic value,’ Kristina Bränd Persson, the organization’s head, said in a press release. “This is a completely reasonable change. Many divisions and categories are obsolete. For us, the decision is uncontroversial. We tend to follow the changes the WHO makes.”

The decision was widely ridiculed on Twitter. …

So a man who thinks he is Napoleon reincarnated is a nut, but a man who thinks he is a woman is just fine? How about a man who thinks he is a horse? That still doesn’t make him a horse.

There are real hermaphrodites. However, they have nothing to do with this “transgender” insanity.

Pretending that mentally ill people are perfectly normal does not make them so.

Consider all the human misery caused by Democrats and other socialist pretending things to be true that aren't true:

Our government pretended that black people aren't people and we got slavery.

The National Socialists pretended that Jewish people aren't people and we got the holocaust.

Many governments now pretend that preborn people aren't people and we have millions of abortions every year.

And now, governments pretend that homosexuality is normal and the problems are just beginning.

Trans can privately do as they please, for the most part.
My problems arise when I am expected to use different pronouns and play make believe, pretending there is absolutely no difference between a Trans Woman and a Woman from birth. That’s a suspension of disbelief too far for me.

They can also change tires.

The worst part about being a hermaphrodite is that after one does the deed, nobody calls them the next day.

the country’s main national health authority has a screw loose

Cross stockholm syndrome with national socialist authoritarians. The iterations are the end of your country.

Wake up Swede.

Never met one personally.

The homosexual agenda pushers insist on co-opting them via their invented term “intersex”, though.

The transgender suicide rate is through the roof. It is very cruel to encourage people with sexual identity problems to follow the transgender path.

“A rose is still a rose by any other name”

It is what it is... and all the rest of them sayings that are probably not politically correct.

Yes... transgenders are gender confused so they are by definition mentally ill.

Grouper can change sex as they age, given the opportunity. They all start out as females, but can become male. When the resident male dies, the largest female in the area can grow new male genitalia and take over the harem.
If she becomes male before the larger male is dead and gone, then it remains an undersized male with little chance of getting to reproduce because the larger male will not let it near the girls.
I think it is pretty much a one-way trip. They can’t change back.
Liberals seem to think they evolved from grouper.
Or garden snails...which are truly bisexual, having the genitalia of both sexes in one body. They still prefer to mate with another even though they can mate with themselves.
Then there are fakers like the matriarchal hyenas, where the females have a psuedopenis and mock scrotum. It’s the latter animal which best represents modern liberals. Instead of a donkey their mascot should be a hyena.

The vast majority of people with “gender dysphoria” (75% to 95%) get over it — hopefully, before do-gooder Leftists convince them to self-mutilate.
