Congratulations, you found an article arguing one side of a highly controversial topic.

@EmptyE I’m back for a quick sec, but yes, I also agree with both you and @Jek Porkins, my reasoning is for when it is obvious they are not the biological gender they say. I had a coworker once who had transitioned from female to male before I met him, had no fucking idea until he told me.

I'd say theres a massive seperation between displeasure from a choice, and psychology distress that would need treatment @Thomas the Sowell Train [USA]

http://www.apa.org/topics/lgbt/transgender.aspx

its not controversial

do you not see how treating trans people as if they have a mental disorder can cause mental disorders in them?

Whose?

Sure, there's a difference between someone who has transtrendered, and someone who is say, chemically imbalanced.

Nope

Request

very different

@Deleted User treating a mental disorder as a mental disorder produces better results than pretending nothing is wrong

Yeah alright. But if you just want to make "what should the law be" arguments, well- that sounds really fucking dull

I'd probably look confused but then say 'alright, guess so' in that instance

why do the fuck do you keep dragging it to demands?

they do not choose their gender

lol

@Deleted User Correct, their chromosomes determine that.

there are biological, internal differences

we aren't just what you see on the outside

biological differences between a cis and trans?

no usually that's just part of the delusion, and when it is the case it's probably not what you think it is

if you put a female brain in a male body, are they then male?

@M4Gunner its my job to worry (think really) about them

no they're a mutant

I'm a ToM Cog studies grad

Same

what I'm saying is there are physiological differences that cause them to identify as a different sex

not true

yes it is fucking true

nope

There are psychological differences between the genders. This is a fact.

There are also only 2 genders

Second fact

@Hyddraigon Why should those facts matter in the social realm?

Unless you mean chemical imbalances in the brain which creates a personality disorder, for which the patient attempts to self-treat by adopting the delusion of being the wrong gender.

@Hyddraigon
What do you think of the natural hermies?

I think they're hot 👀

But as gender goes, you stated quite boldly that there is just 2 genders.

do gays and lesbians choose their preferences?

One question at a time
