Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors.
(as per the Mayo clinic)
If this is a mental disorder, then why do we allow the patients to run the asylum? Why do we have mentally compromised people trying to set a national policy that allows them to indulge their disorder?
would we allow people afflicted with Munchhausen access to their kids? Or if you want to look at other people who just hurt themselves, would we allow people who want to cut themselves places they could do so?
The reason gays and lesbians are no longer considered a disorder, is because the scientific medical community realized where the real problem causing their problems was coming from. YOUR BIGOTRY.
And Transexuals are no different. Your religion teaches you everyone is broken, even before they are born or do anything wrong, and it especially teaches you to fear anyone not holding your religion. Your holy book justifies discrimination and not even based on science, but an old book.
Your book also condemns eating shellfish but I don't see you boycotting Red Lobster.
