Change My Mind

Because the symptoms are the same.

Delusions, false beliefs that are not based in reality, withdrawal from friends and family, a drop in performance at school, trouble sleeping, depressed mood, lack of motivation, socially withdraw or lack the ability to experience pleasure.

Of course, not everybody with the disease suffers all the symptoms, but they all suffer some, especially delusions, and beliefs not based in reality.

The medical research says no.

Not true. Research that has been done outside countries that were pressured by the PC crowd disagree. This would not be the first time science has been corrupted to support a narrative.

Hate to tell you this, but the supporting evidence of transgenderism is a worldwide effort going back a hundred and fifty years.

Never said that transgenderism doesn't exist, I said it was a mental illness and a form of schizophrenia.

Up until about 2000 I think, psychiatrists classified it as such. It was only after pressure from the PC community and Trans-rights activists that it was changed from Identity Disorder to Identity Dysphoria. Still a mental condition, just with less stigma.

In countries less PC, psychiatrists are still publishing papers saying it is an illness. It is just in the PC west that psychiatrists can't get these types of papers published.

As I understand it, transgenderism being classified as a mental disorder was stopped a couple of years ago, which wound up biting them in the ass, because now they could no longer qualify for funding assistance to help pay for their transitioning procedures.

upvote for the troll value alone :)

I'm not a doctor or a psychiatrist, so I have absolutely no concrete knowledge in the field. That being said, with the insane number of things that can go wrong with the development of a fetus, I have no trouble believing that some people can actually be born with their wires crossed, and have a female mind in a male body, or vice versa. (Mental disorders often tend to have a physical cause somewhere on the genetic level, whether it be crossed wires, under- or over-production of certain chemicals in the brain, etc.)

Nowhere near the number of people as the current transtrender fad would have you believe, mind you.
