I managed to dodge that bullet

I have other addictions

Why would society play along with peoples mentall illnes?

Don't get me wrong, if you bought in early and didn't know the shitstorm it was going to be, you can be forgiven, but now? XD

If it's not hurting anyone, @Jasse , why not?

idk, why do we play along with religion?

Good one

Oh wait

I'm religious

Sigh

Honestly I think its just another Peter Molyneux hype thing

Cat, what's your definition of hurt?

The guy behind SC is pretty much another PM. Except he actually believes in himself.

maybe, perhaps, because what is defined as a mental illness and what is not can be cultural rather than scientific?

While Peter just keeps lying his ass off about his projects. He did make good games, but he overhyped them like hell.

@Malt_Hitman , I see it as an issue of liberty

i think its just people trying to be nice

Trans peopme are hurting healt of the nation.

Believing your sex is something it demonstrably isn't is a denial of reality and is a form of mental illness, yes.

Just like if someone believed they were a dog.

Some end up becoming too nice. But thats dependent on you.

Or a chair.

no, pretty sure its politicians that are hurting the nation. Like always

Like you know, a very forgiving parent.

ANd you get a spoiled child or a greatful one.

How does trans "hurt the health of the nation"? I'm not speaking of individuals, I'm speaking of the entire class.

Funnily enough trans people at least the vocal ones

Consider themselves a separate class.

because jewish plot...somehow

maybe the chemicals in the water that turn the frogs gay

That movement litterally casrates children.

Honestly, pragmatically they do "harm" the nation.

@Bookworm, what reality is being denied?

So we depend on society to make up for it.

@DrYuriMom their body. And their sex.

Carot

@Jasse, no one is castrating children. At least not in the US. Surgery is not an option until the age of consent.

If a guy is gonna permanently remove themselves from the potential gene pool. Someone else can be counted on to take the place.

I think trans is a mental illness, but bluntly ignoring it or discrediting it is not the solution to it. For those who are fully invested into it, I can support calling them by their selected gender. For those NPCs who are shovelling all this no-gender or multi-gender zhi ziggy bobado, fuck off.

Scientifically speaking, transgender individuals who've reasonably gone through the process to declare themselves and show they actually stand by their beliefs have had proper scientific studies done and a large variety of their physical attributes, especially brain chemistry, often support that they are genuinely trying to be more aligned with the opposite sex of their genes.

So while I still believe this is a disorder and it needs to be treated, I will respect them.

The same way I would respect someone with PTSD.

@GingaBomber , or there's sperm or egg feezing

Actually, while that hasnt happened yet, we have parents "encouraging" kids to come out
