Healthy like you and me.

Is it healthy to not identify with you genital?

Not on meds.

Not on some sort of treatment.

Not suicidal.

Being on meds is what makes someone sick?

No self-harm.

Presumably, yes.

Lots of African kids who are perfectly healthy, since they aren't getting medicine

That's stupid

Transgender people have been around for much longer than 4 years @Cobra Commander

This argument you have is really dumb

You know exactly what I am saying.

Stop twisting it.

@Vlad why are they killing them selves more often? And dude I could literally say the same thing about crazy people, some can act normal and healthy, but they have weird fucking problems

We're talking in general terms.

also I wasn't saying people *can't* take gender studies btw, I was simply explaining how it's ultimately a worthless class

You don't need to nitpick anything.

Ted Bundy seemed normal until he started killing people

What you've said thus far: 1) transgendered people are not mentally ill 2) There are only two sexes, male and female 3) There are only two genders, male and female

And I know transgender people have been around for 4+ years, I said very specifically that gender and sex were synonyms until very recently

All of that is easily debunked and also very dumb

I agree with the 40% figure. I've read studies. My idea is that there are healthy people who are transsexuals, and due to that, I think, you cannot equate transsexualism to a mental illness. I do not deny that being transsexual does bring an increase chance of developing a mental illness as a secondary effect of sorts, @TheTrickster.

transgendered people are not mentally ill

Oh except maybe the sex one, you could make the claim

That those various X-Y combos

Don't necessitate different sexes

I only said that karyotypes =/= sexes, Cosby.

Why shouldn't people be trans if it makes them happy @Vlad?
And it that has been going on forever Cobra, it's just becoming recognized by the mainstream more recently

And I only questioned what the third one is in your view.

So, don't make shit up.

Also, I offered a reason why I don't think transsexuals are not mentally ill.

Ok, I'm not commenting on transgenderism itself

It makes no sense to me that there are perfectly healthy "mentally ill" transsexuals.

You can nitpick what healthy means all day long.

are there any transpeople here?

A "Karyotype" is simply a picture of a person's chromosomes - I don't think you're using the word correctly.

I mean it in the mos tgeneric way possible.

All I said was that these two *terms,* gender and sex, were synonyms until recently

You showed the article, not me.
