Am I?
you are a good person,. dont listem to them
The wedge thickens
Some fascinating points made in this video. The normalising of this mental illness is clearly not the answer. Suicide levels in transgender people are unbelievably high.
Feel free to say what you want about transexuals, pal.

you are not very tolerant of the evidence put forward by @ironmoth
One might even suggest you are showing signs of being a fascist.
what evidence?
@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy @ChocolateMice You’re both wrong. The evidence in the video from the internet is both sound and factually correct. It quotes a distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at the world-famous Johns Hopkins Hospital, ffs 
[quote]Dr. McHugh
…This intensely felt sense of being transgendered constitutes a mental disorder in two respects. The first is that the idea of sex misalignment is simply mistaken—it does not correspond with physical reality. The second is that it can lead to grim psychological outcomes…
…And so at Hopkins we stopped doing sex-reassignment surgery, since producing a ‘satisfied’ but still troubled patient seemed an inadequate reason for surgically amputating normal organs…
…Sex change’ is biologically impossible…People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or masculinized women. Claiming that this is civil-rights matter and encouraging surgical intervention is in reality to collaborate with and promote a mental disorder.

Fascists don’t want to see facts supporting the viewpoint of others.

I’m surprised at the reaction from the two of them. They are both usually very well-rounded posters and don’t generally resort to foul and abusive language or ad hominem attacks. This is now in the hands of the mods.
They are letting themselves down.
It is interesting how intolerant these ‘liberals’ are.
I’d be fairly liberal too in many respects. I’ve just thought something wasn’t stacking up with the portrayal of transgenderism as normal in the media and other outlets. Treating it as a right in need of defending just doesn’t sit with me.
I’m ok with having posted that video. I think it’s worth watching and considering the points put across.

It’s a controversial opinion but certainly not outrageous. Gender disphoria was only recently removed from being categorized in the DSM-V as a mental illness, so total overreaction to your post by the PC brigade. Like many other mental conditions there’s a fine line between a “normal” emotion and a mental disorder, like the distinction between fear (not mental illness) and a phobia (a mental illness) or between sadness and depression.

That’s very informative pal.
I think the thread title maybe doesn’t sit with the context of the posts. It’s like saying “should mental illness be allowed in Ireland?”.
Very interesting, backs up my beliefs that homosexualisim is also a mental illness
