Transexuality is a mental disorder no matter howyou define it
Why must the cis get involved with this. As with men's opinions on female's reproductive rights, I fail to see why cisgender people can categorise trenssexualism as a mental disorder when it isn't. It's a state of being. The gender dysphoria that comes with most* trans people is. http://www.merriam-webster.com/medical/transsexual - a person who psychologically identifies with the opposite sex and may seek to live as a member of this sex especially by undergoing surgery and hormone therapy toobtain the necessary physical appearance (as by changing the external sex organs)
*Some trans people argue that they don't need dysphoria to be trans but I disagree.

I pointed out how an infinite number of things can make a brain image scans look different. It does not show a female and male brain as in a set brain we are born with.
As you just pointed out your are talking about social constructs rather than biological facts, so prey tell why go through mutilating genitals? After all you could just act socially like a woman.....
Why must cisgender people get involved in categorising transsexuals as having a mental health condition....... that's like saying why must none schizophrenics get involved in categorising schizophrenia as a mental health condition. "Some trans people argue that they don't need dysphoria to be trans but I disagree"....... So therefore transsexuals have dysphoria which is causing their transsexualism and is a mental health condition.
Thanks for agreeing with what most people on here have been saying the whole time

Because quite frankly I could not care less about my genitals. I'd cut them off myself it it wouldn't kill me. I tried to act socially as a woman for 15 years. 3 suicide attempts and numerous occurrences of self harm later and I had to admit to myself that I was trans. Believe me it is not that easy.
Schizophrenics are delusional. Trans people are not. There is a difference over our executive function that allows us to get on with our lives pretty normally, whereas schizophrenics do not.
Yet again. Transsexualism is not a mental health condition. It is a state of being. Gender dysphoria is. Quite honestly children would have understood this by now and yet you still can't get it

lets run over these things again then...
You tried to act socially as a woman for 15 years yet it didn't work for you, answer very directly why did that not work.
Delusion - an idiosyncratic belief or impression maintained despite being contradicted by reality or rational argument, typically as a symptom of mental disorder
You just said you cant be transsexual without having gender dysphoria, I agree. So being transsexual means you have a mental health condition.

someone should rename this thread 'i hate trans people pls affirm my views' tbh what a mess
Typical PC. "Any male who isn't a SJW like me = racist, homophobe, transphobe, misogynist." F*ck you. I genuinely didn't plan this thread to upset actual trans people and I'm sorry if it did. I don't hate people with mental disorders/conditions nor did I ever say anything like that. I think society should accommodate trans people. Maybe in your mind mental conditions warrant hate and negativity so you made that connection.
