Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo interrupted a Republican congressman live on air after he said being transgender was a "mental illness."
Representative Tim Burchett of Tennessee appeared on Mornings with Maria Bartiromo on Monday, where he was asked about the backlash against Joe Biden's celebration of the Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday. "On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know," Biden said in a Sunday post on X, formerly Twitter. "Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect."
In a statement to Newsweek, Burchett said: "The American Psychiatric Association has recognized gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder as a mental illness for a long time. However, it doesn't take a psychiatry degree to know when a person believes something that isn't true -- like when a man believes he's a woman -- it means there's something wrong.
"A lot of these folks aren't getting the help they need, and if we don't address the issue for what it is, then nothing is going to get better."

Whatever there is in the story, is not in the excerpt, regarding a “shut down.”
I’m glad I ditched Faux News when I did.
Supporting Faux News is also a mental illness.
Try the Cliff Notes version. Maybe that’ll satisfy you.
Cliffy left the U.S.A. when G. W. Bush was elected.
So FBN is gone too. Ryan and the Murdoch kids burned it all down. Maria was one of the good ones but she won’t allow the truth to be spoken.

"A lot of these folks aren't getting the help they need, and if we don't address the issue for what it is, then nothing is going to get better."
Tim Burchett speaks truth to power.
In 1973 the era of classifications of types of homosexuality as categories of mental illness ended. By a small margin the convention ruled that the new edition of DSM would no longer classify it as mental illness.
That does NOT mean it isn’t mental illness. Just that psychologists and psychiatrists can’t say so.
Officially (Nat.Inst.of Health site)
“In 1973 homosexuality per se was removed from the DSM-II classification of mental disorders and replaced by the category Sexual Orientation Disturbance. This represented a compromise between the view that preferential homosexuality is invariably a mental disorder and the view that it is merely a normal sexual variant.”
bttt
Are you series? That’s too funny.
that’s about when the queers started teaching in schools.
The Bee . . . material, maybe . . . “it could happen.”
Maria WAS one of the good ones

ABOUT MARIA

“She is a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum.”
[Burchett said] "You know, this thing is, it's, it's a mental illness. We just gotta address it. It's it's not a, it's not a normal type lifestyle, and, I can't be more against what the president did."And I think it shows, too; he is just trying to secure his base. You know, here and he's losing everything but his base, and his far-left base, you know, agrees with this type of behavior."
Bartiromo could be heard repeating "mental illness" in the background before cutting Burchett off.
"And I don't know what you're saying in terms of mental illness. I have no idea what you're talking about in that regard," Bartiromo said.
Thank you for the details.
I went to the article. She does not shut him down; she says something like: I don’t know what you are talking about in terms of mental illness, but declaring a trans day of visibility on Easter is outrageous.
Newsweek just looking for clicks, I guess.
