And the morons who back the trannies think they’ll help the situation by affirming them. It will just make things worse. You treat mental illness, you don’t affirm it.
Like saying runners have a higher rate of foot problems
With the publication of DSM–5 in 2013, “gender identity disorder” was eliminated and replaced with “gender dysphoria.” This change further focused the diagnosis on the gender identity-related distress that some transgender people experience (and for which they may seek psychiatric, medical, and surgical treatments) ...
Transgenders are
Crossdressers with
A Knife.
Per the American Psychiatric Association:
“”Despite increased attention to transgender people, the first two editions of DSM contained no mention of gender identity. It was not until 1980 with the publication of DSM–III that the diagnosis “transsexualism” first appeared. In 1990, the World Health Organization followed suit and included this diagnosis in ICD-10. With the release of DSM–IV in 1994, “transsexualism” was replaced with “gender identity disorder in adults and adolescence” in an effort to reduce stigma. However, controversy continued with advocates and some psychiatrists pointing to ways in which this diagnostic category pathologized identity rather than a true disorder.
With the publication of DSM–5 in 2013, “gender identity disorder” was eliminated and replaced with “gender dysphoria.” This change further focused the diagnosis on the gender identity-related distress that some transgender people experience (and for which they may seek psychiatric, medical, and surgical treatments) rather than on transgender individuals or identities themselves.
The presence of gender variance is not the pathology but dysphoria is from the distress caused by the body and mind not aligning and/or societal marginalization of gender-variant people. It needs to be ego-dystonic to qualify as a diagnosis and having a discussion with our patients about the diagnosis prior to charting it is necessary and good care.
The DSM–5 articulates explicitly that “gender non-conformity is not in itself a mental disorder.” The 5th edition also includes a separate “gender dysphoria in children” diagnosis and for the first time allows the diagnosis to be given to individuals with disorders of sex development (DSD). DSM–5 also includes the optional “post-transition” specifier to indicate when a particular individual’s gender transition is complete. In this “post-transition” case, the diagnosis of gender dysphoria would no longer apply but the individual may still need ongoing medical care (e.g., hormonal treatment). Nevertheless, discussions continue among advocates and medical professionals about how best to preserve access to gender transition-related health care while also minimizing the degree to which such diagnostic categories stigmatize the very people that physicians are attempting to help.”
“ Interesting. I never realized that nearly 23% of normal people had psychiatric illnesses.”
Of the 23%, 90% of those are liberals.
100% of “transgenders” have serious mental health issues. But their psychopathy issues don’t dictate my reality.
That is because literally 100% of “transgenders” are mentally ill, by definition.
You can ignore reality but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.
Not to mention an elevated suicide rate too.
Did ya fall into a trap? I knew a guy in the Air Force that picked up a hot hitch-hiker down in Florida. Turned out to be a Cuban tranny. He probably still has nightmares.
Oh no no.
That’s because of the cruel society that has put them down, kept them hidden and silenced them.
Even now, they are super oppressed.
It is society that made them crazy,
I’m going out on a limb and declaring that 100% of delusional psychotics are psychotic.
Well NO SHEET!!!
Come on its a hell of a lot higher than that. They’re all nuts.
Study: Finds that the facts were known 100 years ago.
All occassions of idenfity dysphoria are cases of some form, some degree of mental illness, without genetic predisposition. They originate with errant (lying, untruthful, “misguided”, biologically wrong) mental obsessions convincing the person, in error, that they are not what they in fact are as their bioogy has determined. The most sympathetic and compassionate health assistance they need is help to undo the obsession that is attempting to run, and ruin, their life.
Hmmm.
Tranny: “If only I could castrate myself, then I would be happy!”
Dr. “OK, let’s whack that sucker off!”
Tranny: “Now, I have no weenie, and I am still not happy! What gives???”
Dr. “Uh, obviously, you are having issues because of stigma and others not accepting you as you are!”,
The Greek Chorus of Others: “Don’t blame us! You, you silly Tranny - you are the one who could not accept yourself as you were!”
The Greek Chorus of the Gaystapo: “How dare you Tranny-phobes blame the Tranny!”
