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.
