There is the issue of whether or not it is mental healthy to look down at a male body and see a female, some from angles, the trans issue might be judging the APA rather than the APA judging the trans issue
I do think some of the tests given, espeically to children, are more about gender stereotypes than mental health
So, the APA has crumbled under pressure of the trans community, and has decided that there are enough excuses for them to label their condition as a non-mental illness?
Is that the idea?
I am simply trying to understand why is it so impossible for it not to be a mental illness when there are experts in the field who say that it isn't.
Are they all super corrupt, paid-for, hyper leftist stooges that they cannot possibly be onto something there?
I read a study recently, according to which trans people were born with a naturally underdeveloped NR3C4s, which later on translates directly into gender-related issues whilst having absolutely no other influence on the lives of those people whatsoever.
Is that just bs that someone made up?
I am trying to understand how you guys do things on the other side of the ocean.
I didnt' say any of that in your first paragraph there
Yeah, ofc.
I am just asking.
Because to deny everything the APA says, naturally, there's got to be a reason, right?
```I am simply trying to understand why is it so impossible for it not to be a mental illness when there are experts in the field who say that it isn't.```
like what do you mean there
What I mean is this: why is it impossible for transgenderism NOT to be a mental illness if experts in the field say that it isn't?
There is corruption in any organization, and there have been people digging into the financial angles of the TRA Movement, including the drug companies that make the hormones, etc
Yeah.
The RadFems say it's the last gasp of patriarchy, lots of angles
Those organizations take a firm stand on it, but I wouldn't say America as a whole has even come close to one, except for affirming everybody has 'human rights'
The RadFems blame the right for TRAs, the right laughs at that and says "we warned you this would happen vis-a-vis gays and slippery slope"
So, how would you determine if this is an actual mental disorder if you had to?
Partly, it would be N/A for me because I reject the idea of 'gender' as transgender politics use the term entirely
Ah, right.
IT sounds like 'acting Black' like stuff to me
"You don't act Black" to me seems not too distant from "I don't act like a man"
Do you know who Martina Big is?
no
She does say that she "identifies as black".
Non-ironically.
but i see the person is known for having extremely large breast implants
Now, to me, fucks like these two ruin the entire dialogue on gender and transgenderism.
Everyone who identifies as a dragon or a daisy, or a bear or a cat does as well.
I can see that, but part of me thinks I'm ahead of the curve because I grew up reading cyberpunk lit as a boy
hehe
Once the tech gets good enough, people are going to look even more wild
Probably, yeah.
tails and cat ears and cybereyes are coming, we arejust getting ready
It looks to me as though people simply take the Martinas of the world and the actual trans people and label them as a whole.
