Former Johns Hopkins Chief of Psychiatry Says Trans Movement is....

[Bindare_Dundat]

Most transgenders do not have surgery and don't want surgery. In Thailand at least, maybe only 50% take hormones anyway.

It also depends on culture, in Thailand and other Asian countries they've always had ladyboys or those of the 'third gender' for thousands of years.

Buddhist religion believes in reincarnation, so they believe it is possible for a female soul to be in male body.

The difference with your example, is that they are not hurting anyone else. The only one's usually offended are homophobic types.

If no one is getting hurt, who cares how others want to live their life?

The question is whether its a mental illness or not. The question wasnt is this hurting anyone.

So with my example of the person that believes they should have been born a zebra and go through procedures to look like one and act like one, Im asking is this a mental illness? If you think it is, how is it any different then the person that wants to change their sex?

I do not believe it is a 'mental disease'.

Western society is obsessed with classifying and categorizing everything, where almost everything is a potential mental disease.

If there's no proof it's genetic, then it's in their heads.

lmao yeah shame on me for thinking that its completely fucked up that a person would want to look and act like a zebra for the rest of their lives. I see no difference between that alteration and a sexual alteration.

I can just imagine what a fucked up world your anything goes attitude would bring about. Thats exactly why this west is going down the toilet.

People are born with genetic physical disorders all the time.
So its not to hard to imagine that this kind of desire to alter oneself could be the result of some genetic brain disorder

 Why is that so difficult to accept?

Because there hasn't been any hard proof showing the gay gene or tranny gene. Also, identical twins when one is gay and one is not or one is a tranny and one is not. What you call a brain disorder I'm calling mental illness.

really from the bible thumper? your whole life is based on "no proof"

[Wiggs]

No its not. Yours is. I have all the proof I need. Carry on.

It is kind of cute how they pick and choose which scientific opinions are valid.

lol this.

also, no conservative cared to comment on my post about how hypocritical the new age neo-con is.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

I've said that for many years here. I've also said that being a homosexual is in the same category. They're all mental illnesses. Hell, up until the 70s in the DSM, homosexuality was classified as a mental illness until it was taken out for political reasons.

Spot on...Most in the scientific industry and Psychiatric industry believe homosexuality is a mental illness. It's just they can't say that anymore or they'll not be able to make a living in the industry...

[Straw Man]

If there's no proof it's genetic, then it's in their heads.

McHugh specifically states that “no evidence supports the claim that people such as Bruce Jenner [sic] have a biological source for their transgender assumptions. Plenty of evidence demonstrates that with him [sic] and most others, transgendering is a psychological rather than a biological matter.” To make this claim, McHugh must ignore at least fifteen studies that have found exactly that kind of evidence showing a biological origin for transgender identities.

You can find the 15 studies listed here:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brynn-tannehill/how-much-evidence-does-it_b_4616722.html

Because you're right. Look, I think it's weird, but if it doesn't hurt anyone and you're not forcing an agenda, what difference does it make? The world would be a much better place if everybody was just nice and or not assholes to each other. I don't always agree with other views, but I don't want to hurt them for it.

So you don't want to bash peoples heads in over who they are voting for

This is child abuse, pure and simple.

Yes, because I'm sure the studies in the "think progress" "glaad" "lgbt" and "Huffington Post" are totally bias and not hand picked. Much like the scientists on global warming. Sure, no agenda what so ever. It's perfectly normal for a 4 year old boy to feel like a girl and the at the first site of him playing with a Barbie the "progressive" parents throw a dress on him and brainwash him from that point on. You progressives always want to turn a non-issue into a big issue when there is absolutely no call for it. Is it even possible for you have at least a lick of commonsense?

It's disgusting.

When you lump climate change in with the rest, you lose all credibility.

There is way more money in saying that it doesn't exist, than it does, yet climate scientists the world over are overwhelming in that it does exist.

Not even by small percentage points. So yes. It exists... That's just reality.

[Coach is Back!]

Here, let me help you out this and the real reason. Last couple of months it was a freaking bathroom issue, now it's this.

But, hey let the other veterans suffer who actually need help and let the transgendered go first.

[The Ugly]

Whether it is or isn't, surgically reassign your crotch or shut the fuck up. And stick to your organ's appropriate pisser.

[TuHolmes]

Where does it say let the transgendered go first?

Yeah, I think it was something like 1978 hell was going to freeze over and today we're all going to burn up because AlGore said so

When did Al Gore become a climate scientist?

[Coach is Back!]

Ask him.

[Coach is Back!]

Same time I did.

[TuHolmes]

That's what I thought.

Another dumb ass argument.
