Transexuals

Just when I thought Drich couldn't be a worse person, he ups the ante.

Disgusting.

Yep, and this is the guy who spouts moral superiority over all of us. Paper-thin understanding of the issue, hate for what he doesn't understand, and zero ability to empathize. What would Jesus do, Drich?

...wouldn't your statement apply to weight-loss supplements?

If someone is genuinely obese using weight loss supplements are a means to restore health. If someone is anorexic then using weight loss supplements only exacerbates their pathology.

I'll try but 'Drippy' was my first nickname for him.... inspired by the need guys have to shake off that last annoying drop of piss when we take a leak.  'Dripshit' is a much more recent acquisition to the lexicon but for you I'll give it a try.  Can't say I'll always remember, though.

Any effort is appreciated.

"Drippy" isn't always bad you see. Depends what's dripping

But Drich is regularly a nob-faced twat-waffling prat, so I suggest "dripshit" is more appropriate as that's something that should never drip!

Yell at a fig tree?

Tbh it's this entitlement where people think they're owed an explanation for other peoples' transness. Nobody owes you an education about why or how they're trans, it just is what it is. Does it affect you? No.

If someone is genuinely obese using weight loss supplements are a means to restore health. If someone is anorexic then using weight loss supplements only exacerbates their pathology.

That's sort of my point though.  You're saying "If someone has a genuine physical health condition, altering physiology is an appropriate way to restore physical health."  I don't understand why that is preferred to "if someone has a genuine mental health condition, altering physiology is an appropriate way to restore mental health."  In the first case, the use of weight loss supplements by an obese person generally doesn't harm their mental health.  In the second case, given our tremendous medical progress, the surgical/hormonal transition doesn't harm their physical health (unless one applies an arbitrary definition of "health" involving one's "original state", or whatever that means, which gets us right back to the original problem).

I don't see how it can be argued that medical transitioning constitutes an "exacerbation of pathology" unless you define "deviation from physical birth identity" as a pathology ex ante (which is different from "desire to deviate from physical birth identity", which is already present and is not changed by transitioning)

Transsexuals suffer from a diagnosable affliction called Gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder. So then how is this not a mental illness if the word/term mental illness literally means:

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?

Because .. blow Jesus out your ass and mind your own business.

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.

This is an unrelated question but why is the T in LGBT? The first three make sense as they are all sexual orientations, but isn't T something entirely different? Why do they get lumped together? Doesn't make sense to me since somebody who is trans can be LGB or Hetero.
