Why are you so accepting of transgenders ?
What’s in it for you to promote a dangerous mental illness such as this?

i accept them because they are human beings worthy of acceptance. just because you don't understand something doesn't have to mean you're against it. contrary to what is posted here, studies show that post assignment surgery many are much happier and enjoy life more. but it's a hard thing to go through. not to mention coming out to all there are more suicides pre than post-op. and they are all mostly because people like you don't accept them. and it is not a mental illness.

Dangerous mental health? Are you serious? How does it pose a danger to anyone?
I accept the fact that all people should have the ability to live the lives they were meant to live. Whether gay, straight, or transgendered, as long as they are decent people, how someone else lives their life is no one else's business.

@basilfawlty89 The genetic/identity link is still being studied. It might very well be a true link but we honestly don't know yet, and as time and research goes on there's so much to discover. That's actually quite exciting in itself.
But we shouldn't just go along with this newer concept that a man putting on a dress suddenly makes him a woman on any level outside of psychologically. As we learn things perhaps we'll see more of a link between nonbinary sexuality and identy alongside genetics. But until then we can't push our own individual agendas but instead look at what we know.
But this isn't a post on that. It's a post based on opinionated feedback.

@EllaDisenchanted Sure, but that's also not how transitioning works and most people who are trans have experience gender dysphoria for most of the time they can remember.
Gender Affirmation Therapy is not just someone putting on a dress. On the contrary it takes psychiatric and medical evaluation to be allowing and the person does change in some ways genetically - i.e hormonal changes.
Both males and females have testosterone and estrogen, the difference is males have more testosterone and females more estrogen. People who undergo GAT get estrogen to change their physiology. In addition, on a genetic basis - there seems to be a lot of evidence that trans people have brains wired differently to the sex they were born as. Meaning yeah, trans people likely were born that way.

@basilfawlty89 Yes, there's far more to it than putting on a dress. Unfortunately, the majority of people that identify as trans do just that then get let down because it doesn't magically fix it. Why? Because, like so many other issues, people tend to self diagnose. When they go online to find information, like most people, it'll be more appealing to look for other people's personal experiences rather than information on diagnostics and mental health.
The number of people that identify as trans is supposedly (because numbers from ANY source are still number and it's hard to number a constantly fluctuation people base) 1 to 3 percent of overall population. Of that how many are ACTUALLY diagnosed?
The post itself was a pokey question so I take it with a grain of salt.

@PlumBerries Dangerous in the minds of people insecure in their sexuality and can't get over the fact they got a boner for a transwoman and now blames everyone for it, most likely.

@TexChik That's awful about the suicide! Some of them get harassed and abused a lot too. Ihave a friend who is straight but gets harassed and accused of being gay because of unwillingness to flirt with strangers. I wouldn't harass a person even if I don't agree with them about everything.

Why are you fucking bigot? Transitioning helps people who are trans. Actual medical experts (not neckbeards on 4chan and Breitbart) recommend transitioning for trans people. Gender and sex is not the same thing. Gender is to do with your identity.
There are multiple things that govern both sex and gender i.e hormones, chromosomes, genitalia, and more. It's just one thing. Even the bigoted transphohbic claim of "muh two genderz" is crap - you get more combinations than XX and XY. What's more is that gender as it exists today has only existed since the 19th century.
Other cultures such as numerous Native American cultures recognised multiple genders.
You're not a qualified psychiatrist - you're some douche on the net that didn't really read up about this issue outside of probably a few YouTube videos by dumbasses like Stefan Molyneux.

@FuchsiaBloom I didn't refer to a guy waxing his porpoise as smacking the monkey. I was referring to typing the letter "E".
