Transexuals

[BlackBird]

This is also quickly turning into "any kind of mental illness = mentally incompetent". Should all people with a mental health diagnosis be kept out of the bathroom for the safety of themselves and others? Should they all be kept from making public policy? Should I be allowed to be around kids (or in charge of my own kids) with a depression diagnosis in my past?

Even if transgender people technically have a mental illness, that doesn't mean they are incapable of making their own decisions. It doesn't make them dangerous. It doesn't mean they should be marginalized. It doesn't mean we should keep them out of power.

The implications here make me, frankly, sick.

probably cause your a douche making up a narrative as you go rather than sticking to what I've said. I suggested that the minority should not make enforceable laws for the majority. Especially when the minority is suffering from mental illness. Not only that those 'laws' also open up a 'loop hole' for sexual predators to exploit.

Again, it looks like we are so concerned about being P/C we are willing to check basic thought at the door.

 

Fair enough, there are lots of people in this thread. You accuse me here of making up a narrative. I was specifically addressing your question about people with mental illness making policy and strong implications that transgender people are basically mentally incompetent. I was just wondering what "narrative" I have made up because if I have misunderstood you, I'd like to address that.
