Fuck off. Being trans is not a mental disorder. And stop infantilizing trans people, we can make our own choices about our bodies.
Joining the US military voluntarily is a mental disorder.
Not according to DSM V: "The APA goes on to say that “it is important to note that gender nonconformity is not in itself a mental disorder. The critical element of gender dysphoria is the presence of clinically significant distress associated with the condition.”"
Neither according to ICD-11: "Gender incongruence has been moved out of the “Mental and behavioural disorders” chapter and into the new “Conditions related to sexual health” chapter. This reflects current knowledge that trans-related and gender diverse identities are not conditions of mental ill-health, and that classifying them as such can cause enormous stigma."
Only according to uneducated sad little evolutionary obstacles like yourself. Now get out, touch some grass, read a book and talk to people.
So what if it's a disorder? If it's a disorder that the best treatment for is gender affirming care, then gender affirming care and respecting people's gender is good.
And you know what else irreversibly changes people's bodies? A natural puberty that doesn't align with their gender and causes them dysphoria.
Neither of those are irreversible or mutilation.
Wow, removed and banned. Based on the comments this must have been highly inappropriate.
Phobes being phobic, unusual enough not one that had a big history of egregious comments so this was a bit of a drop the mask moment.
I'd hate to hang out where you normally find this comment acceptable. Fascist fuck.
Even quite a bit of cis people get hormones in the military.
You mean cis-people also receive gender affirming care? Preposterous! No manly man would ever need to take hormones, their testosterone is so damn high on its own it shapes both bodies and US politics. And all that thanks to this all natural, super-straight, definitely US-made superfood, now for only 16.99$! /s
I worked out for like 3 months and was stronger than my dad who worked out for over a year. He is now on testosterone gel and I'm starting the HRT estrogen process in ~2 months lol
Idiot.
I don't know what you said, but it seems like a pretty shitty thing to say given the responses here.
without even knowing what they wrote, hating on it is not cool. you are just saying hivemend is right. it may or may not be. but whatever it was, you saying it is shitty adds nothing
So you think that like 30 people said it was deeply transphobic, but it wasn't? This user's history is full of deleted content. Yet I'm the bad guy for saying what I said, even though I said it in a very hedging way? ...
i did not say you are the bad guy, i am just saying, your comment did not add anything. I can see deleted stuff, and it was pretty bad (lets leave at that). nothing personal or anything like that.
Never said that, i just said you don't know what they wrote (which you admitted to, which is absolutely fine) but then you add that it must be bad, which was already evident. If i point something wrong about your comment does not make anything original deleted content right. you both can be wrong (at least in my opinion) because we are talking about totally orthogonal stuff.
You just admitted I was right. Peace
