Neither. It's demonic possession.

>>67519587
I'd say mental.

If it wasn't an illness, this requires:

1. The belief in souls
2. The belief in souls having a sex that can mismatch the body's
3. An explanation for the cause of why these gendered souls do not match the body: Divine Oversight? Divine trolling? A reincarnation "machine" (i.e., no Divine entity in charge of it) fluke?

Otherwise it could be demonic possession as >>67519647 said

Or, what is more likely:

- Mental illness
Especially considering that transgenders are far more likely to be depressed, commit/attempt suicide, and so on.
>>
>>67519587
Mental.

Think about how absurd their position is:

They literally believe they were born in the WRONG body. Think about this, the WRONG body. What does that even mean? Nobody is born into the wrong body, you don't choose to be born, you don't get to pick what animal you are or what sex you're going to be.

Someone didn't fuck up with the mould, you're you and will always be you. How can you say you were born as the wrong thing when you are what you are?

It's a defect in the brain.

It has to be a developmental disorder, probably caused by developmental errors in utero. It's not unimaginable that transgenderism in males (male body, female brain) is caused by some error during fetal development that prevents the brain from being masculinized. I'm not sure what the likely causes are in females though.
>>
It's sex fetishism allowed to go unchecked. None of it is an "illness" that has to be treated with either "transitioning" or therapy. People that adopt this fetish DO have a slew of neurosis and delusions going on, but they have to be tackled separately.

How many of these people ARE NOT related in some way to prostituion, camming or whatver the variation of "sex work" or fetish-related entertainment? I mean, what are the real percentages here.

It's a fucking sex fetish, nothing more, nothing less.

Transgender is a word made by Jews ("First, It was the Word") to confuse goys and, as such, It must not be taken seriously.
There are people who were born with a strange biological structure, these ones are like the wrongmadehouses (but still liveable houses) thus they're themselves but not a stupid word.
Then we have ill people who think they're this or that, they're like houses who will kill, stomp you. Kill them before they infect you or kill you.
Trust me, I'm a Doctor after all.

Is that guy really a transgender or is he a comedian/character?

There are a lot of pics of him dressing normal and without the beard.
>>
>>67519587
that is a horrible picture for this thread. that guy isn't trans anything - it's literally just a faggot who dresses up like a woman on stage. he doesn't want to be a girl or thinks he's in the wrong body or anything. why would anyone who thinks they are transgender deliberately keep features from both sexes?

anyway, it is medically agreed upon, that it is a mental illness. it can be diagnosed and treated, either by getting the patient to accept themselves the way they are or in extreme cases by adapting the body to make them feel better. it's basically an extreme case of body dismorphia.

body and mind are so intertwined that it's hard to tell how much of it is mental and how much physical. even classic mental disorders (like depression) almost always have a physical component to them (like hormone imbalances) - hence why there are meds for psychological disorders. and in the end any mental disorder will be physical in some way, since our mind results from the way our physical neurons are connected. we just don't understand enough about our brains and so we call it "mental".

i think it depends on the individual. there'll certainly be some with sex hormone imbalances at some stage of their development which results in a different mental development. there'll be others where there's seemingly no physical cause.

It's an extreme form of Body dismorfic disorder. My wife has it she just gets depressed with how she looks so she aspires be happy with what she looks like by dieting and exercise which in the long run is good for me because i know mentally she would never be able to let herself go.

When it comes to Trans , if they just owned up to it some of them could take pills and their crazy will go away , others just need to nip their penises off realize their not happy and kill themselves.

I did a tranny the other day for the first time.

It wasn't what I expected (pretty meh desu) and my fascination with them is now very low. Yeah it was pretty gay but now that I know I don't like it I can stop looking at shemale porn. I'll stick with pussy.

It's developemental psychological thing. For example: A boy gets bullied by the other boys, starts to hang out with other girls and ends up feeling like he is one of them. This happens when he's like 3.
If it's encouraged by adults it'll stick. He doesn't have self-awareness enough to tell his own gender yet, and if he has been playing with girls all his life he'll obviously feel like he's one of them: Boys are complete strangers to him.

Place a child in a cage of dogs and he'll grow up thinking he's a dog. Place a boy in a group of girls he'll grow up thinking he's a girl.

Actually, research has shown that there are differences between the male and female brain.

It is entirely possible to be male with a female brain.

That being said, I do not approve of surgical reassignment. I don't really care about people not conforming to gender roles, it doesn't bother me one bit. A man can go ahead and wear a dress if he wants. But god dammit don't fucking get your dick chopped off.

The way I see it is I'm not as much of a faggot as i was before it happened. I tried something and figured out that I didn't like it. Before that shemale porn was my go to for the past 7 years, if anything taking cock made me realize I'm not gay.
>>
>>67524269
not trying to attack you (i agree with you mostly), but where do you draw the line? i'm just curious. people permanently modify their body all the time - are just genitals off limits or any body modification (like tattoos or piercings)? why shouldn't people be able to do with their body however they please?

i think getting their dick chopped off will often not be a good solution from them, but if they have made a somewhat rational decision to get rid of their cock - go ahead, be my guest, it's YOUR fucking cock. who am i to tell you what to do with it?

Development disorder and I am 100% sure the massive increase in homosexuals, bisexuality in women and the wave of transgenders is caused by anti-conception pills contaminating drinking water. More and more men are born with womanly features ( and MtF transgenders are much more common than FtM ) and women start to develop at increasingly early ages.

When I was young I used to be a bit chubby with literally zero muscle. Had my T tested and was low so they wanted to keep a check on that. My parents installed an osmoses + carbon water filtering system and within months my T was not only back up to normal level but even too high. I started developing muscles very quickly, was constantly moving and had massive acne on my upper back almost as if I was roiding. I even started balding early because of it but at least I can call myself a man. I am pretty sure if I kept taking in estrogen and anti-androgen from drinking water I would have turned out to be a nu-male, homosexual or transgender myself.
>>
Think about how here would be no need for transgendered folk if there were no gender stereotypes.
>>
>>67519587
While there are chances that there might be people with enough brain chimerism (Or to have a brain entirely made of cells with opposite sex DNA) to be considered intersex or genuine transgender, in most cases it's clearly a mental illness that becomes worse as people find that others accept their delusion. I'd say we give every single one of them MRIs to categorize their actual mental situation.

I do not agree with any sort of body modification unless you have two of something and one isn't formed right. For instance, most breasts are of a different size, but occasionally you can get two very, very different sized breasts for some reason. That's fine, fix it.

If you have a penis, accept that you have a penis and move on. No amount of surgery will ever actually change you.

I also don't agree with anti-aging surgeries or anything that's not necessity. It's degenerate as fuck. So are tattoos and piercings.

while none of your sexual experiences make you gay, trying to rationalize and argue your sexuality on 4chan makes you a complete faggot.

just roll with whatever you like and enjoy it. stop sticking labels on yourself. there's nothing wrong with liking shemale porn and never wanting to have sex with a shemale. why do you feel the need to sum up this complex preference in a single word ("gay" vs "straight")?

Mental.

People who have a compulsion to believe that they are born in the wrong body and that they are really the opposing gender is similar to schizophrenics having compulsions that they can hear voices in their heads and that they should listen to them and act on their suggestions.

People (outside of 4chan) wouldn't suggest to a person with depression who claims that suicide is the only option to commit suicide so it's just as asinine to suggest to a person who claims to be trans that they should poison their body with hormones and mutiliate their genitles.

Unfortunately our culture has opened the floodgates on trans acceptance and it has become trendy to proclaim that they are such, so it gets hard to distinguish the people who honestly need psychological help from those who just need to grow up and realize they're just going through a phase which will most likely pass on its own.

The funny thing about hardcore liberals/feminists/SJWs is that they claim gender is completely dictated by society and that humans aren't bound by just male or female, but in the same breath they support trans people who feel like they were born in the wrong gender, which means they acknowledge the fact that being male or female is biological and not social.

thank you for replying. if you classify GRS purely as a cosmetic surgery i'm totally with you. i think needless cosmetic surgery is a really bad idea.

i'm not sure i understand your argument with lopsided breasts though. i can't imagine symmetry being the governing principle. if a girl is happy with her enormously lopsided breasts i definitely wouldn't approve of surgery just to fix her symmetry. but if personally happiness is the guideline - that could also apply to a penis, couldn't it? some people might be genuinely so so fucked in the head that they literally can't be happy as long as they have their penis attached - which is where GRS as a treatment of a mental disorder and not just cosmetic surgery comes into play.

Being transgender is not an illness..

>>67526801
Being so unhappy about being born with blue eyes that it gives you depression and suicidal thoughts and causes you to take poisonous drugs and get dangerous surgery to reassign your eye colors is definitely an illness. Being born with a penis or vagina is not an illness.

Your logic is severely flawed.

'Transgender' people are officially diagnosed with an egosyntonic mental health disorder by a psychiatrist. Depending upon the mental health diagnoses manual the psychiatrist uses, this mental health diagnosis is for Gender Identity Disorder/Gender Identity Syndrome/or Gender Dysphoria.
People who suffer from GID call their mental syndrome 'transgender' so they don't feel so bad about it.

Current standard treatment for the mental health diagnosis consists of psychiatric counseling and prescription medication with synthetic hormones. The counseling is an integral part of their treatment, and no doctor or psychiatrist proceeds with treatment without the concurrent psychiatric therapy. People who suffer from GID call their treatment 'transitioning' so they don't feel so bad about it.

Less than .03% of the population is affected with varying degrees of GID/GIS/GD. The depression and suicide rate of GID/GIS/GD sufferers is staggering compared to general population. The current treatment is recognized by psychiatrists and medical doctors as moderately effective in reducing their rate of suicide, depression, anxiety, dysphoria, and other symptoms. Sexual reassignment surgery is effective in relieving symptoms short term but fails long term.

People with GID have a much higher prevalence of Body Dysmorphic Disorder, noting that in both, the sufferers have a pervasive delusional view of their own bodies that cripples their normal functioning. Here are two patients who suffer from both GID and BDD concurrently.

The transgender 'movement' works to make this mental health diagnosis seem normal, and to push legal, policy and social trend changes on the normal 99.97% of society, that are disproportionate to the actual numbers of sufferers of this rare mental health issue.

Tranny here. Don't listen too much to those claiming it's perfectly fine. It's not, I'm nutjobs, most trannies are. No amount of mutilation\modification is ever going to change what nature made us. Gender dysphoria is just a derivative of body dysmorphia, just a fancy way of naming a sex-focused body integrity disorder. That is, a full-blown mental illness. No sane person would ever believe to be the opposite sex, just as no sane person could be deluded into thinking they were meant to be amputees. It's on par with it.
>>
>>67527311
They're only "traumatized" because they're told they are victims after the fact.

>>67527393
The controversy is how the illness is handled. The former head of the psychology department for John Hopkins Medical wrote an article condemning the use of hormones and surgery because such methods were overall ineffective for solving the disorder. He talks about how people who get hormones/surgery still have the same suicide rate as trans people who don't get therapy or surgery. He notes that most young people eventually outgrow the feelings naturally.

Take body dysmorphia. Some anorexic people with body dysmorphia believe that they are too fat so they starve themselves and allow themselves to be severely underweight. Would you encourage this person to get liposuction or get their stomach stapled? Would you allow them to take medication that kills their appetite? No, doctors would instead insist on therapy and would probably suggest that they increase their weight to a healthier number. The same can be said about trans people.

The only medical staff who would recommend surgery or hormone therapies are the surgeons and nursing staff who make money doing the procedures. Unbiased practitioners would recommend psychological therapy more often than they'd encourage you to poison and mutilate your body over a mental disorder.
