There are only two genders.

"Transgender" is a mental disorder and should be treated as such.

The only way to "treat" gender dysphoria is to transition, either socially, medically, or both. Sorry if you don't like it, I guess.
@BigAssLeech false. It's a BS term to make those with a mental disorder feel better. Sorry they need treatment

@Tiredandlonely yup, we do need treatment... and we do get treatment. Beyond transitioning..hell, some of us never do transition.

We don't wake up one day, go to the hospital and say "y'know what, cut it off"

@Tiredandlonely There are many different mental abnormalities, all requiring different treatment and having different causes. The treatment for depression is different from the treatment for schizophrenia, and so on. People being transgender is usually from being born with a "gendered" brain opposite from their bodies. This is typically from hormone development in the womb, or hormone development while growing up, causing them to have a female or male brain. There are biological differences between the two, most notably in how sex hormones are processed and certain "wiring". This means that it is entirely possible to be born with female genitalia, female chromosomes, and a male brain. Dysphoria is the feeling of not belonging in your own body, and it can be traumatic and can cause people to harm themselves to escape it. The only way for many to live with gender dysphoria is to transition. This is medically recognizable, and has been proven across many reputable studies. I suggest you research deeper into mental health and get a better grasp of it, since it's clearly something you feel passionate about enough to make such a false statement on a public platform.
Functional stupidity and bigotry does not make you an authority on anything.

Being this hateful should be a mental disorder.
pride49 · 31-35, M
You're an idiot
@pride49 nope. I simply speak the truth
pride49 · 31-35, M
@Tiredandlonely you simply speak a prejudiced opinion
Serious question: is it a mental disorder for anyone to want to change something about themselves? For example, wanting to dye their hair, or get a tattoo, have a nose job, to become a bodybuilder, have a facelift etc.

> "Transgender" is a mental disorder and should be treated as such.

How? Medical professionals already have treatment that you don't like. Should the government forcibly overrule doctors and force treatments according to what you want?

I agree... lets just euthanize them all...

will save tax money used for state funded gender reassignment surgeries and the lower population will reduce pollution

So save money & save the planet, anyone who disagrees is obviously an evil nazi... 🤔
BigAssLeech · 31-35, M
@wildbill83 Yes, those crazy proposals such as, "Treat other human beings with basic decency"
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@wildbill83 Euthanizing psychopath assholes like you would certainly save the world from the costs future Wal-Mart shootings. 🤔
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
@CountScrofula I avoid wal-mart like the plague.... full of tasteless, irrational hipsters that wear their pants around their ankles, and "shoot" more cocaine and meth than guns like you... 🤔

0.5% of the population is trans. So unless you are trans or a person who knows trans people— this is basically moot.
@MistyCee I am responding to a person bitching about trans people. Of all the phenomena in their subjective field of experience-- they are rant worthy?
@CopperCicada I get your point, but the underlying need to rant about different people seems far more consequential to me.

Sure, trans people seem fairly benign, and don't all come right out of Silence of the lambs, but the slippery slope in this case doesn't seem so unlikely.
@MistyCee I agree with you.

The bullshittery of these rants is just obvious. I've been on here for years, and certain anti-somebody rants just don't stop. No sync to the news cycle.

Somebody is trying to play people.

@HoraceGreenley I will ask this question today at school and see..I also understand just a little bit and of course my religion is like hell no...fml
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@suchaslife I don't know what to think. I'm sure there are people that do well as transgendered. However many do not. There is not enough data on outcomes yet.

There are two sexes. Genders are a social convention. Having two genders is basically fashion.
@QuixoticSoul no they are not. That is liberal bullshit
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@Tiredandlonely No, it’s basic anthropology.

@Tiredandlonely feel free to look up "hijras". 3rd gender. Various cultures also had special rules for eunuchs.

What is your operational definition of transgender and mental disorder? I don't want to form a reply without knowing what you consider those to be.
KeanuChrist · 26-30, M
1. Transgenderism has nothing to do with the idea of more than 2 genders. 2. Transitioning is the treatment. Ask any psychologist.
Does that include nuclear weapons?
Your opinion.
