I felt I didn't make this clear enough. Communism and socialism should be treated like nazism.

how so

Mass genocides, gulags, poverty, the death toll

Starvation as well

That's not too bad....right?

and that isn't happening under capitalism?

oh yeah! of course we have gulags!!

and genocides!!

gulags no, because bad optics

but genocides capitalism has most definitely done

*nestle company has entered the chat*

The only genocides I could find were under marxist titles of books.

What’s happening in general

bots

again probably

I bring this debate up a lot, mostly because it's still being treated normally. Would y'all consider transgenderism a mental disorder?

Not necessarily. It's not a natural phenomena as far as I'm concerned, and I am aware that some would treat it as a mental disorder, but it is not to me.

smells like bait, but I'll bite

bait?

wym

you bring up a controversial topic out of nowhere

that is completely unrelated to the current conversation

Should we move it to <#773892356322754600> ?

nah, it's fine

mk

so mental disorder in what context

medical?

Mental. The suicide rates are so incredibly high, they want to make changes to their bodies that are so drastic, (binders, pills, surgery) It was already considered a mental disorder by the WHO until 2019, and if you actually get to talk to some trans people, they usually don't seem very mentally stable. (at least from what i've expirienced)

so you're talking about it from a medical perspective

Depends what you would consider a medical perspective.

that last part is analogous, so i hope you understand why im choosing to annoy it

because ive only had positive experiences with trans people

but im not going to bring that up as an argument

Okay, then why don't we focus on every other point I made.

> Depends what you would consider a medical perspective.
@HyooNoot you mention the WHO, so it sounds like you're going for medical

Mental would be thinking you're another gender, medical would be wanting to have surgery or changing your body.

oh wait sorry

I meant are you arguing from a medical perspective

the framing

not the type of argument

so transgenderism was categorized as a disorder in the DSM-4
