Well there is a lot of evidence to support this. (Not enough to make any rash decision s on the matter tho)
oldmatesoldmate
...and therefore unworthy of your support?
MohegunSon
What episode of Trailer Park Boys was this? Or was it one of the movies?
AbsoluteMercenary
I'm just going to post this and come back after a few hours.
Talonotw
Aw. did you have to repost this one because of how badly it got rekt five minutes ago?
Weav
As an avid imgurian re-posting gets you to the front page eventually
bekind2joeblake
Cool title. You guys really need to come up with a new word. It's not getting old or anything
Weav
liberal
bekind2joeblake
Ha, I was totally expecting someone to say triggered again. Thanks for surprising me

Why shouldn't it be allowed? Even if it is a mental illness they aren't hurting anyone but themselves.
Weav
Exactly we don't want them to hurt themselves
CrimShade
That's what anti gay religious fanatics say about gay people.
championofbreakfasts
Should we also ban nail biting, alcohol, junk food, etc.?
Weav
separate issues entirely, do not use bad rhetoric here I want to have a clean debate
championofbreakfasts
They are all self-destructive. you want to ban transgenderism to prevent what you percieve as self-destructive behaviours.

It's okay to have a different opinion than the norm. You're aware of why you feel the way you do, which is great.
Weav
You stay classy
Karoleigh
I get why you may feel you do. It's a relatively new concept to the mainstream. It challenges something that you can't just see a way to...
Karoleigh
... Comprehend. Best advice I have for you is immerse yourself in the trans culture. Trans news. Trans YouTube videos. Get the opposing side
Weav
And listen to crazy people no thankyou
Karoleigh
's view on things and re evaluate your feelings. May change, may not, may resolve some reservations. Just walk a mile in their shoes, bruh.

I'm transgender and I don't disagree with you but mental illnesses are ALSO valid medical issues and need more research done especially this
Weav
This just an educated opinion not fact but i've found its mostly brought on by social issues left untreated
AesirSRW
There doesn't appear to be any common social factors between transgender individuals that I've seen. It's one of those things where the (1)

issue has become more important than finding a solution. So all we get is a sex reassignment or piss therapy. *shrugs*

rsvr79
Thanks for the correction. That was really taking a weird turn, there.
AesirSRW
Right?
DreadedLurgy
To play devil's advocate, isn't all sexual orientation psychological? How do you determine what qualifies as an 'illness'?
CrimShade
And maybe feeling that one were in the wrong body for their gender would cause trauma/mental illness?
DreadedLurgy
I think his point is that the transexual gender orientation is itself an 'illness'. But the standard for 'illness' needs qualification.
CrimShade
You know, transsexual is not the same as transgender.
CrimShade
And it remains to be seen that people on imgur decide that transgender people are mentally ill and that illness invalidates their identity.
DreadedLurgy
I don't even know how you can 'invalidate' a person's identity. That's just pure rubbish m8. Plus that's not even the point I was making.
