Transexuals do not suffer from a mental disorder at all.
Your gender identity is completely separate from the biological sex you were born with. To feel different to how you are born is not a mental illness, it's part of your personality not your mental state.
The personality and the identity is what counts.
It's not about mental health, it's about personal identity.

Being a transgender is not a mental disorder. Not all transexuals have gender dysphoria for starters. Gender dysphoria is not the only thing that makes people transgender. Thinking otherwise is just wrong. I know they make you uncomfortable. Just like gay people make you uncomfortable. Guess what? Your religious bullshit makes other people uncomfortable and they let you be.

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?
WTF is wrong with you? You are such a bigot. What if you woke up tomorrow and looked down in the shower and saw the opposite genitalia from what you have now? Would you be happy with the answer: "well too bad, you just have to get on with life and learn to live with it!"
You are one of the worst people I've ever known...on the Internet. [emoji45]

So . . . the guy who hectors others in another thread about supposedly wishing to restrict a bigot's "free exercise of religion" when he violates anti-discrimination laws now wants to know why the 'patients' -- supposedly "mentally compromised people" -- run the 'asylum' when they try to affect national policy by exercising their First Amendment rights to petition the government for a redress of grievances. What a jackass.

Im so sorry that you had to be exposed to Drippy's hatefulness, Bella. My heart breaks for people with gender dysphoria. I can't imagine the psychological and emotional suffering involved with feeling like you are in the wrong gender'd (spelling?) body. And then having to deal with people like dripshit on top of it all. Ugh...*hugs* [HEAVY BLACK HEART]️
