Is being trans a mental illness?

Is being a transsexual and or transgender a mental illness? Discuss.

(Disclosure): I mean mental illness in the same sense as any mental illness such as ADD, ADHD, OCD, all the way to schizophrenia. I’m not using the term mental illness as in a brainless nut job.

Please keep this civil.

Proceed.

You can't say keep it civil and post a loaded question. The mere asking as you have is problematic.

And why do you care?

I think it’s a daring question to ask especially on SW@GoldenWorm

@Anonymouslyyours86 Holding someone up for everyone else to debate as mentally ill is inherently wrongful.

I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it if you were the target of that discussion.

No I wouldn’t but this isn’t a person but a group of people @GoldenWorm

GoldenWorm · 51-55, M

@Anonymouslyyours86 Ok, a group of what ever you identify as.

I’m not gay or transgender but I believe gays or transgenders have a vendetta @GoldenWorm

@Anonymouslyyours86 LGBTQ's "agenda"is to have a life of quiet enjoyment. To not get thrown out if where they live, to not get fired for their romantic interests, and to otherwise has equal treatment under the law. That's it.

@GoldenWorm A question isn't a handgun. It can't be "loaded". I think it's retarded when people say that. There are questions you like and ones you don't. Be an adult and say "I don't like this question". It's not that difficult.

@SW-User yeah, I should substitute the personal opinion of a guy who isn't familiar with standard usage over my own. Also name calling.

Anonymouslyyours86 · 36-40, F

It’s not name calling it’s an opinion @GoldenWorm

@Anonymouslyyours86 he said anyone referring to a "loaded question" is retarded. The appropriate use if "retarded" is extremely limited and doesn't include comment sections. I'm about done with explaining things.

Well then me hearing Gods voice isn’t a mental illness then it’s a life style @GoldenWorm

@GoldenWorm I think your opinions on this matter are quite retarded.
