I suspect Big Pharma is the driving force behind it. They stand to make millions off each patient over their lifetime "treating" otherwise perfectly healthy people with a dodgy concoction of meds and surgeries, etc.
Awwww, you sad, M8?
I think you are cruel for feeding into their mental illness.

Actually, I think people that have tons of tats and piecings are a bit like cutters, only tatting up is acceptable. Pain followed by endorphine rush gets addicting.
Living as a woman is not a valid answer.
You need to try better.
Why someone who is a man cab take part in a female beauty competition? According to your 'answer' a transwoman can be in female locker rooms because the person lives his life as a woman........

Well, then according to dbcowboy, that should be classed as a mental illness.

Great way of dodging the question! If it's a mental illness and cruel for the trans person, then why are people on here putting down trans people, taking the micky out of trans people. Making fun out of trans people?
Why is that? Is that not cruel to do such thing ?

Again, you are generalising. There is still a high suicide rate among gay people. Why do you think thst is!
You tell me why... Are they not accepted by the majority?
So, majority of trans are not happy? How do you know this? Can you post data thst backs thos up with actual facts?
"Majority" is your word, I didn't use it so why are you asking me? All you need to do is look at the statistics, very easy to do.
I know a lot of trans people, and majority of them are happy with who they are.
"I know a lot" is not statistical evidence...lol
BTW all this isn't about whether they are happy or not, it is about whether they should be included in women-only events of all types.

I don't think many people are arguing to say that trans women are biological women; besides perhaps a small few on the far side of this issue.
Maybe we can compromise and say that trans women shouldn't be put in the same catagory as women when it comes to certain things like sports and health. But to also compromise by treating them as how they want be seen. (Not calling them a mentally ill man/woman).

by forcing others to use their pronouns, by demanding they be called "she" when "she's a dude". That's the part that makes it a mental illness. If they were among a small group of trans people, and didn't say "boo" to anyone else, nobody else would care. But that isn't the case here. They are openly calling for the kids to be taught how to become a trans. And I suspect that is the main reason anyone gives a rats ass about any of this.

Well, as long as kids aren't being encouraged to transition before 18, I don't see the big deal considering that any teenager with internet access can find out information about being trans pretty easily.
Perhaps if the left just agrees to leaving surgery and hormone treatment to 18+ and not pushing trans women in women's sports, then we can move on to more important subjects

That's all ANYONE was asking for.
SHEESH!
Latest data outlines between 2010 and 2023, identification as LGBTQI+ has almost tripled among the student body at the Providence, Rhode Island, university (from 14 percent in 2010 saying they were not heterosexual to 38 percent now).
“The Herald’s Spring 2023 poll found that 38% of students do not identify as straight — over five times the national rate ,” student newspaper reported. “Over the past decade, LGBTQ+ identification has increased across the nation, with especially sharp growth at Brown.”
Other sexual orientations have also increased over the same period at the seventh-oldest institution of higher education in the United States, with some observers countering the rise is driven by social pressures rather than sexual choices and noting bisexual identification outstrips bisexual sexual activity.
