Because it’s psychologically healthy to think you’re a woman when you’re a man, or vice versa.
Bizarro World.

It’s science you know. Where reality is created by politics.The next time you hear a liberal ranting about global warming, remind them that scientific facts are situational.

#Science, you know.
A man is a woman as long as it serves the Revolution, and not one second longer. It won’t be nice for transformers when trans-ism no longer serves the Revolution. Don’t miss a memo!

There’s nothing stopping them from removing Ebola from their list of illnesses as soon as the Ebola lobbyists cobble together enough W.H.O. member votes.

The trans-sexual condition is so obvious a sickness this makes the mental health professionals look like a bunch of quacks.
Is there no one among them willing to speak the truth?>?

WHO by yielding to political correctedness and pseudo science makes any pronouncement from them valueless. Protest any fed bucks they’re getting from US.

This is solely to coerce medical, educational, professional, and religious organizations to cater to their delusions, or be crushed.
And no, it is NOT good for the transgenders.
Giving a person surgeries to "fix" their gender confusion is like giving a dangerously emaciated anorexic girl who feels she's too fat, a gastric bypass.
