What are your thoughts on transgenderism?

I'm just watching someone say that to validate someone's belief that they are a different gender than what they were born as would be like validating a schizophrenics belief that they can jump off the Empire State Building and fly. Apparently transgenderism is defined as a mental illness and has been for a very long time. Is it a mental illness? I personally think that adults should be allowed to present and live as whatever they want. But when it comes to children I have very strong feelings against allowing them to transition. Kids aren't very good decision makers and I've seen too many stories about children regretting it later, which is so sad. Oh I'll attach the video in case you're curious. I only watched the first minute or two

I think its complex. From odd chromosome pairings to gender affirming at birth for intersexed individuals to even brain conditions, to breaking social constructs and subculture. I'm no expert but there seems to be a convergence of things lumped into one umbrella when it more likely seems to be a case by case situation. I have thoughts and questions that would put me on bad terms with each side ofbthe debate.

But at the end of the day I never once thought about chopping my dick off or growing a set of tits. I'n fact the thought of either is horrifying to me to the point of it being in the league of being killed or raped. It's just at that level of horror and "NO". Same that goes for most people I know. So anyone who even entertains that idea at all, let alone to possibly feel more comfortable in their own skin. That person is going through some deep serious shit that I cannot even comprehend. That being the case its up to me as a person to show dignity, respect, and compassion for this fellow human being instead of choosing to add weight to their burden out of what is easier for me to digest.

MostnIve encountered or witnessed one way or the other are jusy avergae acting people doing their thing how they see comofortable. A few are flat out lunatics and an iverboard agenda. That is the case with every demographic of humanity. It just is what it is with that.


One thing that I do have to say and this will put me in hot water qith somenof my peers but oh well. Is that there does seem to be a small contingent of people who have taken the push for recognition and acceptance of the issue as a way to push their weird fetish onto the public and claim transphobia to anyone who questions the motives. It's a small segment but one I think needs to be talked about because in my view they are not only pushing boundries for the sake of kicks they are doing so in a situation that makes it monumentally harder and I'd say dangerous for those who truly have to struggle with this burden and be treated as scapegoats and targets.
