Senate Bill 3842, introduced by Sen. Andrew Chesney (R-Freeport), proposes adding “transgenderism” to the state’s legal definition of mental illness under the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. The bill defines the term as identifying with a gender different from the one assigned at birth, according to the filed legislation.
Under current Illinois law, “mental illness” refers to disorders that substantially impair a person’s thinking, perception, emotions, judgment, or behavior. The statute specifically excludes developmental disabilities, dementia, and substance use disorders. SB3842 would expand that definition for the first time to include gender identity.

“We need to rid ourselves of this poison,” Chesney said. “Before far-left Illinois Democrats mutilate one more person, they should take a hard look in the mirror, acknowledge basic biological reality and admit they are advancing a repulsive trend that has caused real harm to vulnerable individuals.”
State agencies, hospitals, courts, and mental‑health providers all rely on the statutory definition when assessing treatment needs, involuntary commitment standards, and eligibility for certain services. If enacted, the measure could affect how transgender Illinois residents are classified in medical and legal settings.

No, not crazy. Based in truth.
I don’t remember this problem until the mental hospitals were closed down in the 1970s, and the crazies released on the streets. Transgender nonsense along with mass murders by crazies took off like a rocket.
