You can't compare homosexuals and trans, one is a sexual preference, the other is a mental illness.
originally posted by: AnakinWayneII How can you say that wanting to mutilate yourself is anything other than mental illness?
That's like telling me that people experiencing from "existential dysphoria" are NOT mentally ill. You do know what existential dysphoria refers to right?
Next, you'll be telling me that transracialism is okay and racial dysphoria is fine...

Wrong on so many levels...
1) When did you 'decide' your 'preference'? Cuz I can't imagine it being a matter of choice, so for me it's not. Parse that thought.
2) Those with a little more knowledge on the subject say: Transgender people are not mentally ill, the WHO decrees
3) Drifting back to #1, I think some people's fears of what others might be doing with their naughty bits is kinda revealing in and of itself.
4) Just be nice...it's contagious!
The tough part is when you make up your kids' minds for them. Good luck with that.

I don't give a flying f*ck what the WHO classifies trans as. I can make up my own mind.

And if he cannot reconcile himself with your expectations? Because, ultimately, that's what we're talking about.

Actually i think by grounding him with a basic understanding of biology his mind will be in a good position to make a decision which doesn't involve mutilating his own body or denying his natural gender/sex.

Circumcision? Tats? Earring?

Strawman much? Talk to the WHO and get back to me, ok?
