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.

Yup. Faggotry/lesbianism belongs there as well.
It used to be so!
How about "sex determined at birth", or possibly "sex confirmed at birth" for babies who had their chromosomes checked in utero for some reason.
Here's the real point, for those individuals who believe they were "assigned" the wrong gender at birth. PROVE IT WITH A CHROMOSOME CHECK.
You think you're a woman even though the doctor said you were a boy and you have a penis? Fine, pony up the scratch for a chromosome test, and if it comes back "XX", we'll talk about getting you a "chopitoffame" operation.
You think you're a man even though you menstruate? Fine, same deal, if your chromosomes come back "XY", we'll talk about an "addadicktome".
And for those unfortunate souls with true chromosomal abnormalities like "XXY", they warrant special care.
But we gotta stop encouraging the crazies.
Well Duh!

Gender affirming care. Oh that sounds so warm and loving ! Much kinder and more gentle sounding than ‘Delusion Pandering Mutilation’. It is hard to believe this insanity has to even be debated.
What’s worse is this bill probably will not be passed, let alone be signed by governor lard ass.
Many trannies (the ones who don't do the surgery) are simply perverts or grifters.
