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.

Yes, cannot call mentally ill what you want to encourage to work without genuine family ties as a virtual labor camp worker in a socialist corporation...
Transgender people are mentally ill. It is easily and successfully treated with electrical shock treatments until the sick brain reorders. You are a male or a female dictated buy GOD!!
What are they going to do, refer to them as wild hickory nuts? Just by no longer calling them mentally ill isn’t going to make the sane.
Indeed, how about akufar then!? Will it do for you Sweden? What a bunch of suicidal morons.

They dont seem to mind that muslim migrants raping their women, why would they think pretending to be the opposite sex is insane?

Denying the truth does not make it any less true.
Lefties. It doesn’t matter what part of the world they’re in because all of them are LOONS!
Are there some people who are biologically “in the middle”?
Down is up, up is down.
