Mental Ilness.jpg
41 KB, 700x390
Ok /b, i was talking in class today with a friend of mine when we enter the Transgender subject. I said that Transgender was a mental ilness (gender identity disorder) and this other guy listening to us went BERSERK. Start calling me a small minded limited, prejudiced, saying i am ignorant, that i have to study more etc.

I made the mistake of trying to calm him down with arguments and telling him to stop attacking me (My mistake was beeing on the defensive the whole time) and the guy was getting louder and louder to the point where veryone could hear and started to look at me (Since i was the one beeing call shit). I got nervous and was not able to fight back properly since everytime i tried to explain why i believe it is a mental ilness he would get even more Berserk.

So /B. I need your help
Tell me why Transgender are mental Ilness or why they are not and PLEASE, use scientific arguments so i can use them if this shit ever happen again


>TLD/ Transgender is mental ilness or not? Explain

i mean it only takes one trans to burn the book

The problem is that the DSM itself--mental illness diagnostic text used for diagnosis--is currently fucked. NIHM dropped funding for DSM-based research projects until they could actually put better science behind what is and isn't a diagnosis.

The issue of whether transgender is or isn't a mental illness can't be scientifically bridged until we get a better grasp on what defines mental illness in general.

NIHM letter is good for a read:

Fluke is a more applicable term. Good studies have been done showing their brains aren't defective, just mismatched with their bodies -- like a more debilitating form of heterochromia.

Unfortunately most people are too emotional and can't look at the evidence objectively because it makes them uncomfortable. People who get upset about this kind of thing betray their own insecurities.

Op, missing a certain enzyme deficiency causes the children of Salinas of the Dominican republic to all be born with female genitalia, yet the majority of the children "know" if they are actually boys or girls despite the identical genitalia

And guess what? those same "boys" end up growing penises and their balls descend at puberty proving what they believed to be true

Their accounts are eerily similar as children to the accounts of children that end up being transgender.

We don't know the exact mechanism that makes someone transgender but for the majority of transgender individuals, we know it is symptomatic as children, and it happens universally around the world at a very similar rate in almost every population (the only exception being areas that are "trans friendly" that trans people move to disproportionately, or areas where it is an executable offense)

Since we don't know the mechanism, and we know it is a natural condition, while it may technically be an illness, it is not curable, and efficacious treatment is 100% limited to acknowledging their requested identity, hormone replacement therapy and surgery. When you see a person with a Y chromosome walking down the street, you should not assume "he is an ill person for doing that" but instead you should think, "she is getting treatment and getting better"

LOL no. No one ever is cured of their mental illness, they just learn to cope with it.
Also, the suicide rate of post-op trans is way higher than national averages, because surgery doesn't fix their mental illness, and that was often the last fix for them to try.

Until recently that is. Before the change in psych standards, it was a mental illness, and still is because it causes a whole host of other problems such as depression leading to suicide.

you are factually incorrect lol. do you know what is higher for for post transition peeps tho. the homicide rate. so fuck off with your hateful rhetoric and do the trannies a favor and kill yourself
>>
>>688152436
No, just don't bring it up, you don't go around calling people with depression diseased, despite them being so, it's more of social connotation

If I said you were diseased because you have moles, you would take it as an insult, despite it being a very normal disease

They don't need a reminder that they are different, they need acceptance so they stop killing themselves

They aren't hurting anyone

>>688152747
I very explicitly said there is no cure, they are coping and acceptance of their identity is a way for them to get treatment/cope

Also there is no statistical difference of pre-op and post op transgender suicide rates

They commit suicide more that the general populace, not because they "made a mistake" like you suggest but because even after their surgery, they are treated like outcasts and pariahs

There is a disproportionately high amount of native American and black suicide, are you going to suggest that it is because they are black or native American? Or that their circumstances put them at a higher risk for depression and suicide

It's simple science, and has nothing to do with anyone's "feelings". Your gender is determined by your chromosomes, and the pairing of XX or XY. There are those two, and ONLY those two in the human species. Doesn't matter what someone feels, or identifies as. I can "identify" as the world's greatest basketball player if I want, but if I suck at basketball, why should anyone else pretend anything else? If you transplanted fur onto a pig, taught it to fetch, made a prosthetic tail for it to wag, and called it Spot.. it's still gonna taste like bacon if you cook, no matter how many people decide to pretend it's a dog.

>>688154005
Btw, the study I'm referring to was an exploratory study that was debunked, something like 3 of the doctors patients killed themselves, and 2 were post op

It is a mental disorder. Someone adapted to society by adopting the wrong gender association. Its like a form of OCD, they are very anxious with their body image and feel as if being a different sex or being a trans is a better social defense than just embracing the body they have, like a straight or gay person would.

For me the whole transexual attraction is the domination aspect. I made this male submit to me and I am now fucking his ass and he is receiving pleasure from it. His body is also feminine and when he receives pleasure ejaculation it feels similar.

I do like having sex with women and do like dominating them but it isn't the same. Women are meant to be dominated by men this is a fact. But this guy who should be dominating other women is below me taking my cock up his ass or on his knees sucking my cock and enjoying it is a whole higher level, it's like I'm forcefully taking him out the gene pool. + My wife isn't one of those crazy trans she has a job as a personal injury lawyer just jealous as fuck.

But being around the scene you can tell many of these people are fucked up in the head. Some can take control of their lives others take their situation and try to grab attention or pity with it or demand that people accept them. The normal ones are I'm not a male I am a female then take hormones and get surgery to correct it then live their lives as females. The crazy ones are I'm not a male I'm transexual but make no attempt to actually live their lives as women.

Then we got fringe people who are pansexual. Fucking insane

My wife has friends she is 26 that are still whoring themselves out for money instead of working. It's sad really.

Use the Socratic method on him.

Ask him this.

If I identify myself as Napoleon, dress as Napoleon and walk around demanding that people call myself Emperor, I am considered to be mentally ill and delusional regardless of how strongly I feel that I am Napoleon since it is demonstrably false that I am not Napoleon.

Yet on the other hand if I identify myself as a woman, dress as a woman, walk around demanding that other call me a woman, alter my endocrine system with artificial hormone treatments to make me look more like a woman and pay a doctor to mutilate my genitals into the shape of a vagina then I am considered sane despite the fact that it is demonstrably false that I am not a woman.

So why is one delusion valid while the other is not?
>>
>>688147600
It can be considered a mental illness because it's a delusion. If a man has a penis and balls and believes he is a woman, he is delusional and incorrect.

Likewise, if a woman with tits and a vagina thinks she is a man, she is incorrect and delusional.

Some people think they are dogs and cats, but we don't cater to their delusions, and instead we treat them for their delusion with medication and/or therapy rather than putting them through surgery to give them a tail and pointy ears.
>>
>>688155029
There is more than just one doctor claiming it is still a psychological illness - which is why the standards are being challenged after the new procedures and classification of gender dysphoria came out.
It's ok though, because I am the one arguing for helping them because the new guidelines are hurting their community, while you are for the new guidelines which is leading to their suicides and continued misery.

You do tell depressed people they are mentally ill, and need to seek treatment for their illness though.
You're saying you should tell them "oh it's going to be fine" when you know it's not - more than likely society is going to be against them and you're promoting the idea that they should not seek out psychological support for them to help teach them how to cope with the world.

Yes, lets reinforce a mental delusion rather than telling people to deal with reality. And more than that lets tell them to demand all their friends and family reinforce the delusion too and attack anyone who doesn't accept the lie.

This is what the modern psychiatric community has concluded and there's really only one reason behind it......money. If a psychiatrist tells a tranny that they aren't a woman and that they never will be and that they need to learn to accept themselves for who they are then they are telling them what they need to hear; but not what they WANT to hear and in that situation the tranny rather than accepting reality will simply leave the psychiatrist who has the integrity to tell them the truth and find one who will tell them the pretty lies they want to hear and then they'll get paid. Thus the psychiatrists have told people that they can live a lie and pretend to be whatever they imagine; because lying gets them paid.

Its sad really. I pity the trannies, they're unhappy with who they are and mentally ill and now the psychiatric and medical communities have chosen to lie to them for profit.

OP, you could argue it's a physical problem instead. That the opposite gender mind is in the wrong body instead of implying that the mentality of the person is at fault. Gender is behavioural as well as physical so you can't really say for certain that it's a disorder to think you're in the wrong gendered body

>>688152104
correlation does not mean causation. People kill themselves for all sorts of reasons. I guarantee you'd find similar statistics for anyone going through a life altering experience. For example, addicts who become sober, lottery winners, careers ending, partner dying.

Also the switch isn't perfect yet so it's hard to say if it's the partial change or the futility of changing that's the problem. (I imagine in the future it'll all be done with pills etc and that it will be reversible)

Being wrong about your gender is a delusion. If a person has a penis and they think they're a woman, they're delusional.

People try to overcomplicate these matters to introduce their bullshit, but it's that simple. If you're a human and you think you're a hippo, you're delusional. If you're Chinese and you think you're French, you're also delusional. If you think you're a man when you've got tits and a vagina, you're delusional.

Well its fucked up to say transgenders have a mental illness because they aren't confused or anything about who they want to be.

hmm, you hold an opinion that the majority of the scientific community and western society (ie civilised society) think is incorrect. You have reached this conclusion based on the same evidence that is available to them.

Ey look mang, fellow sciencebro here, and while I agree that these people need to stop calling themselves female, which they have been known to do, I would say that if they choose to advertise their role in society as that of a "woman", then that is their choice.
While we can argue that they can never fulfill that role due to their lack of the functioning reproductive organ generally embodied by women, it is still their own choice to be delusional to that extent.
Same as the people who go around belittling people because they are genuinely convinced they are intelligent, it's their choice to have everyone laugh at them.

Aren't there studies showing that an abnormally high percentage of people who go through gender reassignment surgery end up trying to kill themselves?
>>
The new manual specifies that in order for an atypical sexual behavior to be classified as a mental condition, a person must:

1. Feel personal distress about their interest, not merely distress resulting from society’s disapproval; or

2. have a sexual desire or behavior that involves another person’s psychological distress, injury, or death, or a desire for sexual behaviors involving unwilling persons or persons unable to give legal consent.
>>
>>688159535
Sorry, but getting psychological help and teaching them how to deal with society's pressures isn't Nazism. It showing them the way to the better life they should have. I never said they should have HRT, or surgery either. I merely have said, repeatedly, it is mental illness that they need support for so they can lead normal lives.

Surprised you lasted this long without invoking Godwin's law, honestly impressed.

>>688159893
Yes, you are correct, I am at a loss as to why this guy is trying to argue a point where the number correlate with yiur argument.
Good on you though.
>>
>>688159910
You are trying to class transexualism as an okay fetish by those guidelines my friend.
Which is cool by me, but doesn't lend it much credibility as far as medical conditions go.
>>
After death there is nothing
We have no souls
Only bodies
You cannot have a soul with a gender, souls do not reproduce
They do not exist (bring up these are your beliefs and denying them is offensive. Yell at them like they would at you)
Therefore you can only judge gender by body or mind
Bodies are good at making sure everything is consistent
Males have the same brain and biology to do with as they wish
Same for females
There is no male brain in any female.
Therefore you are a fucking idiot but I don't get the pleasure of telling you this because you kept interrupting me every fucking word I said.
Because you can't stand being disproven.

lol I love when the fags get hurt when you tell them it's a mental disorder, as it is defined (I'm a psychology major and have had to study this fag material)

Don't even argue with them. You're literally arguing with a retard. It's the same thing as arguing with a liberal (which they usually are too)

Let me give you some golden advice:
Why even bother associating with them when you don't have to, when associating with them is going to make you think about it later on?

Also, never take a logic class, because you'll never be able to argue with anyone again, because you'll see how ridiculous people's "arguments" are

well, they're not being chased by men in white with butterfly nets so I think society on average has accepted them.

Try thinking about it this way. You hold a view that is just as extreme, but opposite to the trans whatevers. They think they were born as the wrong gender whereas you think you are the gender you're born and to think differently is to be mentally unwell. The majority of people agree with them or agree with you slightly or think it's up to that person alone to decide. Most simply don't care enough to have an opinion.

Also as a side note, just because you're born into a society doesn't mean you have to contribute to it or that it's immoral to take from it and moral to add to it.

You are attempting to fulfill a role in society reserved for females. It's delusional.

Look tell them this. Of all the groups of people who wanted change in our society, LGBT has been the most Aggressive to the wrong crowd for a decade now. Black people yeah fought but didnt just go around beating non-whites. Women are somewhat aggressive but at the same time the normal ones (NOT FEMINAZI) tend to be more understanding. Hispanics are not fighting or being aggressive to anyone to get their freedom and shit. So WHY the fuck do sad 20-29 year olds have to be on the offesnive to just random "binary" cis people. Likethats how you make yourself look worse. When Gays were told that they are going to Hell, you know what they did? They just moved on to the religion that accepted them. Most went for Satanism, surprisingly. But none of them really fought the system in a way that causes violence. I hate trannies and such "gender-liquid" people because it's a phase they have to step out of and just focus on what we have really at hands. Not dwindle with the rights of every single fucking GENDER they fucking invent. They are mental. They are people who don't respect others in fear of others not respecting them. Which clearly are people out there who would welcome them. But no, they think everyone is out to get the,\m. One more thing. This whole GENDER BULLSHIT is also causing another thing. Like the South Park episode. It may be a joke for somes, but there are people who BELIEVE they are either: Animals, Objects, Characters, Infants, Other Race, or even other Occupation, such as someone who was pretending to be a pedo because thats what he felt he needed to be. Like he was destined to be. Fuck trannies man. They all need evaluation of their brains.
>>
>>688160236
Actually I was trying to point out that people that naturally feel distressed by their condition, because they will never be able to be their desired gender, should be classified as mentally ill.
>>
>>688159376
im pretty sure sex isnt binary. if it was wouldnt all male genitals or whatever be the same and all lady genitals the same. theres a lot of variation and one pushing into the other (no pun intended) and looking at gentic coding a lot of variation too and more common then one would believe.

>>688160511
Not that guy, but vaginas are pretty fucking gross, but I'm still going to fuck them

Dicks are pretty gay tho

If it wasn't for tits, I'd probably be an asexual or whatever the fuck you call someone who isn't attracted to either. Asexual was a 90s term. Watch how butthurt some fag gets that I probably used it wrong in 2016
>>
>>688160461
I hate to say it, as I am not that anon, but you will probably need some citations for this broad statements about social acceptance of transexuals.
The fact that America (presumably where you live) is a near majority christian, throws some serious doubt on your conjecture.

The same way we no longer lock up depressed people, as we know it does little good, there has been no solution so far about transexualism as we have no thorough understanding of it as yet.

>>
>>688159795
I don't dispute that at all. I'm all for freedom of choice, and if people want to do that and they're not harming anyone then I wouldn't stop them. It worries me that a lot of people who go through gender reassignment surgery apparently try to kill themselves or end up with depression afterwards though.

I really hate the idea that if you don't agree with them you have to be a bigot, transphobe, ignorant, and all the rest of it though, like what OP described. People are scared to discuss the subject in case one of these intolerant far leftists comes out and starts comparing them to Hitler or something. It's a bully tactic designed to scare any dissenters into silence.

Tell him this:
>if you die and they dig up your bones 1,000 years in the future, and they test the DNA, what will it show?

>No, but mah genders

Disorder does not always mean they are any less. People like to hear the word illness or disorder and think they sre being attacked.

My definition of illness or disorder in the broad term is that anything that goes against our purpose as biological beings. Which is to reproduce.

If you are gay or trans you are going against the natural scientific purpose.
Same goes for suicide and a bunch of other shit.

Also before anyone gets butthurt I've been hospitalized for suicidal attempts. So I am accepting of myself going against my biological purpose. Also no I'm not trans or gay.
>>
>>688160461
>well, they're not being chased by men in white with butterfly nets so I think society on average has accepted them.
I'm sorry, but what? Google "fight against obesity campaign" and look at all the links. Even HuffPo - the liberal, LGBT, feminist super ally - has articles against obesity.
My view isn't extreme - they need help with their mental health issues. They should get it, rather than trying to conform society which will not happen anytime soon. This is not to say that society shouldn't change - it's just being realistic that it won't overnight.
Until then, because of how society treats them, they need psychological help. Period.
They should be able to live as they want ideally, regardless of what anyone thinks - supporters or detractors. They should be treated equally, instead of given special treatment and laws.
I am arguing for equality, and giving them the means to not suicide, you are still trying to make me out to be the bad guy when you are the one supporting current psychological practices that is leading to their higher suicide rates.
How do that even work?

There is variation within each gender, but wether your sexual chromosomes are made up by XX or XY is pretty black and white.
While we have syndromes such as XXY, that is not enough to class it as a spectrum, as it implies that such syndromes as different to their inherent parts. In this case it is a male with some female-typical secondary sexual characteristics.
Same way a downs syndrome person is a human, and not a different animal as their chromosomal count would suggest.

The reason its not a "mental illness" is because its a choice. Also a lot of teens are doing it today because its trendy af.

Society is structured in such a way that we all play different and important roles within it.
You are talking about social anarchism, which will likely lead to serious issues for the vast majority of people.

You need to review the definition of distressed in this context.

It is not normal to be distressed in this sense.

Being upset about your physical appearance is not remotely the same as being distresses about the fact that you're living in a whole wrong body. Imagine feeling like a woman but knowing that you will never have a period, give birth or breastfeeding.

you're not giving me homework

they are broad statements and I think thats all you really need. Transexuals can vote, work, travel abroad, can become famous ( not just for being trans) to give a few examples. To use the US like you said if a trans were to go to certain areas or meet certain individuals then they won't be accepted. Much like if you're black or a muslim or both. There are US citizens who don' think they should vote, live near them or live period. But they're not being stoned by angry mobs or having to enter businesses through the back door. I think we can say that they are socially accepted.

UK fag here, so majority agnostic (thank fuck for that). We only lock up people if they are dangerous to others or themselves. In victorian times we locked up anyone who was mentally ill. Times change

Never once met a tranny that wasnt an attention whore. It is a mental disorder. And usually one of many "shocking things" the individual will do for validation.

>>688147600
Transgender is not a mental disorder. Maybe for the one that think its an identity or something. But before all this SJW shit, it was just another sexual perversion. Girls with dicks? No prob. No discussion on what it meant or what "gender" it was. It was just another weird way to get off.
