Assuming this isn't a shit post and you are actually looking for real information I'll bite. "Transgender" people believe they are the opposite gender that they were born as. Their hormonal levels are totally normal, yet they have this belief and it can only be attributed to their brain /psyche. More than 50% of trans people attenmpt suicide and the rate goes even higher post gender reassignment surgery. Also, I believe (don't have the stats in front of me) they are 6 times more likely to have a parent with bipolar disorder. It's a mental illness.

This guy is totally wrong on most of what he says though...

>"Transgender" people believe they are the opposite gender that they were born as.

They clearly know they are not the opposite sex as, they wouldn't be transgender if they were. They only want to alter their body to achieve that aesthetic then transitioning socially into the female gender role.

>More than 50% of trans people attenmpt suicide and the rate goes even higher post gender reassignment surgery

This is factually wrong. Only one cohort of data (1973-1989) shows elevated suicide rates post-GRS.

1989-2001 and 2001-2010 actually show lower:

1973-1989: higher suicide rates post SRS
1989-2001: lowered rates
2001-2010: no longer statistically elevated versus normal population.

>"A closer reading of the paper shows that the increased mortality is in those who had surgery before 1989, and that mortality in trans people after 1989 is not statistically different from the general population. A recently published paper by Dr. Dhejne and colleagues shows that the regret rate for those having surgery from 2001-2010 is only 0.3%. Dr. Dhejne’s work shows that outcomes for transgender surgery have improved tremendously in the past 30 years, which supports the HHS decision to remove trans exclusions."

This entire debate is contrived.

Fact: it doesn't matter, (legally, morally) whether transsexualism is right or wrong, just as it doesn't matter what one's religious beliefs are.
Fact: In a free society, a person should be able to go by the name they want, present themselves how they want, and generally do what they want so long as it doesn't violate the law.
Fact: The only reason transsexuals bother you is because you have a latent fear of accidentally getting into bed with one and then being labeled "gay".

Transexuals don't bother me. I just remain unconvinced that transwomen are actual women, and transmen are actual men.

None of them think they are the opposite sex though, otherwise they wouldn't be transgender. Being transgender by definition implies you aren't the sex you want to be.

Can you explain why its bad for people to alter their appearance to fit how they want to express themselves?

Being man, or woman as sex has nothing to do with religious believes.

Do whatever you wish to yourself, but stop being an attention whore who wants green light from everybody else for their action and lifestyle choises - will never happen. imo this behaviour is even more degenerate than the fact that you want to be the opposite sex.

The reason why transsexuals bother is, is because they can't stop being attention whores who bother us with their issues. What bothers us is that they won't fucking stop with their mission to convince everyone else that they are right and seek approval fom everyone so they feel better.

Anything one does can and will be critisized by others. Grow up, stop being annoying pussies and get used to it.

Well Leaf, some people are born with a penis and others are born with a vagina. The first being called a "boy" and the latter a "girl". When a penis and a vagina meet a baby is formed. However, some people with a penis think that they are a girl and vice versa. They seem to not realize that they have either a boy or a girl part. Perhaps some of them claim that gender is socially constructed. This may have been a fair point but they often seek medicine that makes them look a different gender and begin to dress like the gender they think they are. However, this leads to a problem. Because if gender is merely a social construct, then one would not need hormones to look different, unless one was to argue that changing ones genetic disposition is also a social construct. Because of this, the notion that they are the opposite gender for realizies false short and the only logical conclusion is that they have a bit of a mental problem. Any questions, lad?

If some dude wants to chop off his dick and pretend he's a woman, whatever. I might even play along on occasion just to be polite.

What I object to is the actual criminalization of stating an obvious, empirical, scientific truth: men with mutilated penises are not women. A government that can get people to declare that "gender is just all in your head" can easily get people to buy equally insane shit like "war is peace" and "freedom is slavery".

It's not brought about by chemical imbalances though.

Trannies have no imbalances. They only have sexually dimorphic brain areas that are swapped:

-Limbic nucleus
-Hypothalamus behavior and structure
-Callosal Shapes
-Cortical Thickness
-Structural Connectivity

Basically trannies brains work as you would expect. They just have some areas that flipped sexually. These areas most affected are limbic and hypothalamic areas: instinct and hormones.

Because generally, if you believe yourself to be something you're not, you're considered mentally ill. It was like this for a very long time.

Seriously, though, ask yourself: If someone you knew and loved insisted they were actually a frog, began to eat flies, worms, and small fish, and told you to refer to them as 'Franky Frog Hopper', you wouldn't think them to be even the slightest bit mentally ill?

So why do you think people who dress, act, and believe themselves to be the opposite gender NOT ill?

If someone is transsexual and looks girly enough to pass, they can use a women's public bathroom because no one will notice or care enough to question it. Trans women have gotten away with getting into beauty pageants without disclosing their gender.

As for calling people desired pronouns,you don't have to if you don't want to, and there will never be a law against it. It's other people's negative opinions of you that you're worried about.

The question of what causes a male animal to seek out and choose a female as opposed to another male mating partner is unresolved and remains an issue of considerable debate. The most developed biologic theory is the perinatal organizational hypothesis, which states that perinatal hormone exposure mediates sexual differentiation of the brain. Numerous animal experiments have assessed the contribution of perinatal testosterone and/or estradiol exposure to the development of a male-typical mate preference, but almost all have used hormonally manipulated animals. In contrast, variations in sexual partner preferences occur spontaneously in domestic rams, with as many as 8% of the population exhibiting a preference for same-sex mating partners (male-oriented rams). Thus, the domestic ram is an excellent experimental model to study possible links between fetal neuroendocrine programming of neural mechanisms and adult sexual partner preferences.

Laws have been changed to accomadate tranny's

>Historically, Medicaid programs have denied coverage for transition-related treatment. However, this is beginning to change, as several states (e.g., California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, and Vermont) have updated their Medicaid rules to provide hormone therapy for gender dysphoria, hormone blockers for transgender adolescents, and/or gender-confirmation surgeries.

Federal laws have also been changed to allow Tranny's to be allowed to tax deduct medical care to fit into their needs of what they feel they need in order to do cosmetic changes

So people with a certain mental illness should be kept from working? should people who have depression, dyslexia, or aspergers just live off their families forever? Just stigmatizing trannies as mentally ill isn't a valid argument, because the society we live in already bends over backward for the handicapped and developmentally disabled. Why should some dude who was born with downs syndrome or who breaks his back while falling out of a tree drunk get to live on social security his whole life?

Gender Dysphoria is a mental disorder since it conforms to APA standards set out in DSM-5

There is nothing wrong with having a mental disorder, but thats a simple fact that it is a mental disorder and denying this does no body any favors
>>
>>73535476
The following is a link to a study you can look into regarding treatment for gender dysphoria. This is only recommended in cases of people that are born (for example) biologically female, feel their gender is male, but want to be female.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8839957

The fact that such a study demonstrates that medication may have the ability to reverse gender dysphoria (listed in the DSM-V) suggests strongly that GD is a chemical imbalance.
>>
>>73546064
Transgenderism is very closely tied to schizophrenia and anti-psychotics have been shown to have positive effects against it.

This entire "issue" is just inane shit used to destabilize the unity of the public over things which don't matter, though. Transgendered people are not discriminated against legally, they cannot be fired for being transgender and they cannot be refused service unless the business states they will refuse service beforehand.
It must have been very convenient for the Bilderberg group to have transgenderism become a hot topic immediately after homosexuality was no longer seen as something that needs campaigning for equal rights.
>>
>>73535476
DSM V lists gender dysphoria as a mental disorder. However, it states "It is important
to note that gender nonconformity is not in itself a mental disorder. The critical element of gender dysphoria is the presence of clinically significant distress associated with the condition."

Generally best to trust the APA's classification tool over 17 year olds on pol.

It's not a debate. If someone is literally denying reality, then there is something wrong with them. Men that take hormones and undergo surgery are not women; their genotype is unchanged. Changing a few phenotypic (or outward) properties of an individual doesn't really "change" them at all, it just makes them feel more comfortable with themselves. That doesn't bother me at all. But if someone parrots the bullshit talking point that (in this example anyways) being a trans male to female person means the person is LITERALLY a woman, then I WILL call them out on it.

You can identify as a gender-fluid stapler/attack helicopter, but don't be expect to be called mentally stable.

you can have a mental illness because of genetic or hormonal defects mate. that doesn't mean it's not a mental illness.

again, it's clearly abnormal and shouldn't be equated with homosexuality and heterosexuality.

these trans people are not actual women or men, they never will be and thus to extend male or female rights to them makes no sense. medicine needs to do further research on pills or other procedures that help contain their abnormal thoughts so they can live a normal life.

the solution isn't to fucking chop off their dick or implant a dick inside their vagina. the solution isn't to cater to them and create gender neutral bathrooms because of their delusions. all of this applies to fat people too. we need to help them excercise and diet properly, not collectively pay for their health expenses. treat the root cause, not the fucking effects.

is saying it's not a mental illness, because the brain of the infant basically didn't follow along with the formation body, so you could end up with a male body but a female brain.

if we grant him that and more research supports that hypothesis, then what are we supposed to do? you'd still advocate that we accommodate these people and structure our society based on these few people with defects?

a true transgender female poses no threat to women or kids. they usually take anti androgens to block testosterone. some go as far as removing their testicles. so they are either chemically or actually castraed for intents and purposes.

Crossdressing perverts are another story altogether. They still have their balls, and ate not on t-blockers.

If for thousands of years humanity has seen a penis as male/man and a vagina as female/woman, and then you suddenly think you're a woman despite having a penis. That means there's something wrong with your mental health.

A delusion is a belief, out of keeping with the individual's cultural origins, that is held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary. As a pathology, it is distinct from a belief based on false or incomplete information, confabulation, dogma, illusion, or other effects of perception.

Delusions typically occur in the context of neurological or mental illness, although they are not tied to any particular disease and have been found to occur in the context of many pathological states (both physical and mental). However, they are of particular diagnostic importance in psychotic disorders including schizophrenia, paraphrenia, manic episodes of bipolar disorder, and psychotic depression.

On the 21st of March, 2016, a temporary statement with references was released by the American Colleges of Pediatricians, pending a full statement that will be published in the summer -

"The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts - not ideology - determine reality.

1. Human sexuality is an objective binary trait: "XY" and "XX" are genetic markers of health - not genetic markers of a disorder.

2. No one is born with a gender. Everyone is born with a biological sex. Gender (an awareness and sense of oneself as male or female) is a sociological and psychological concept; not an objective biological one.

3. A person's belief that he or she is something they are not, is, at best, a sign of confused thinking.

4. The use of puberty blockers can have serious negative health effects. Puberty is not a disease.

5. Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse.
