Why is being transgender not considered a mental ilness?
Body integrity identity disorder is considered a mental illness. Doctors will refuse to amputate limbs without a medical reason.
Why then, should doctors cut someones dick off because they feel like their body doesn't belong to them?
Is it because of politics?
Some psychologists declared that it is by all means a mental illness but left wing and center MSM just gave them shit and right wing MSM just didn't pay attention. Fringe media like Breitbart, Drudge Report, and Huffington probably overblew it in their own respective ideologies.
it's soft eugenics
do you really wanna tell the guy who is convinced he's a woman to suck it up and pass on his genes or do you want to goad him into castrating himself?
either way I sincerely feel sorry for them
Transgender-ness is an illness. Politics will debate if it is right to call this people sick, but it is an illness by definition.
The problem is where you draw the line on how to treat this people, should you subjugate the body to mind and give the patients special hormones and summit them to body change surgeries.
Or prioritize the body and potentially cause psychological trauma on them.
Either way, poor bastards.
Looking at it like that, it's probably best to go the body route since we don't know too much about the mind. It's better to leave them mutilated and happy, than intact and mad. The second route leaves us with people who can go postal at a moments notice. The first controls that by putting them on estrogen and making them weak.
Actually most people do understand that trannies are mentally ill.
It a good thing we don't stone these faggots, but allowing children to fuck up their bodies is absolutely horribly wrong.
>preteens should be allowed nay encouraged to pump their bodies with hormones of the opposite sex
>but they can't legally consent to sex
what did America meme by this?
>Or prioritize the body and potentially cause psychological trauma on them.
The trauma arguably occurs after they've had the operation and find themselves dissatisfied and disillusioned and disfigured.
But it is considered a mental illness, and turning your dick inside out is considered a treatment for it.
more like unethical sociopath plastic surgeons taking advantage of the severely delusional
