ransgender advocates are manipulating medical definitions to get a diagnosis without the ‘stigma’ of having a ‘mental disorder.’
One of the first major successes of the “gay liberation” movement in the United States was the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA’s) 1973 decision to remove homosexuality from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (the “DSM”). Early activists in the movement knew they would never persuade the public that they were normal as long as doctors said they were sick. The fact that the decision was more political than scientific complicates the history, but the goal was clear.
Like homosexuals, transgender activists have long been offended at the idea that trans people have a “disorder.” As a recent online article puts it, they believe “experiencing gender as different from the one assigned at birth is not a disorder or a disease – but rather a natural variation of human experience.”
Addressing that issue is more complicated for transgender activists than it was for homosexual ones, though. Homosexuals felt no “treatment” for their identity was necessary. However, those who identify as transgender often seek cross-sex hormones and gender reassignment surgery, to alter their bodies to more closely resemble those of the preferred sex.

No, normal people don’t owe the crazy and the perverts anything. Not even negative tolerance.
If they have a disorder, then they can argue that they need treatment and that sex change surgery is the proper treatment (it would be a bad argument, but at least they could try to make it).
If they don’t have a disorder, then they don’t require treatment and sex change surgery is an elective procedure that shouldn’t be covered by health insurance, the military, prisons, etc.
So let them take their pick. If they want us to pick up the bill for their dick-chopping, then we get to call them mentally ill.
They seek to get rid of the stigma. But they can’t. The stigma is in their own minds, but they have transferred it to the minds of normal people.
These degenerate freaks are bat shit crazy and should be treated as such.
please do not ask me to accept you for who you are not, when you cannot accept you for who you are.
i tolerate your behavior because you are not right in the head, but i will not support your delusion by supporting further mutilations, either physically or drug induced.
Since you were replying to detective, I thought
you were addressing him directly. This oughtta
be good. But alas, I see now you are directing
your volley at the pro-trans.
Still, though, as shouting-at-clouds goes, it was
an excellent piece. :)
That's profound!
P4L
The one and two topics on Trans sites is:
“Do I look lady enough?”
“I want to kill myself because I don’t look lady like”
Wait till these crazies turn 40.
All the makeup on the planet isn’t going to fix genetics.
Reminder to everyone that the Equality Act which the House passed plans to enshrine Sexual orientation under the Civil Rights Act. They want to make all opposition to promoting transgenderism on children illegal.
A Democratic Senate means state sponsored transgenderism.
If you’re normal, nothing needs *fixing*.
Pay for your own surgery yourself.
Nobody is assigned gender at birth.
The doctor looks and states the obvious.
God assigned the sex and that’s what they’re railing against.
Time for Trannie Island.
“Please do not ask me to accept you for who you are not, when you cannot accept you for who you are.”
Perfect.
They’ll get what they want some day, but I’m guessing they are not going to like it much.
“Nobody is assigned gender at birth.
The doctor looks and states the obvious.”
Excellent point. All the whining about being assigned the wrong gender is evidence of mental illness.
