Because accomplishing 'great things' and contentment have nothing to do with identifying mental illness in a person.

Ever watch a beautiful mind with Russel crow?

Dude accomplish astounding things, and in time learned to be content. However he was literally in a functional state of perpetual delusion. He saw things and people who literally not there till he died a few years back.

Like it or not mathy, dude was mentally ill by all clinical definition and reasoning, even if he was able to manage it and find contentment.

Now just because he won a nobel prize does not mean this man was suitable or of sound mind to dictate unrestricted policy for the rest of humanity.

That is no different that allowing a functional drunk get behind the wheel and drive.

You're evading the question by focusing on one thing that I said. I shall put the rest in bold for you to answer:

If someone transitions and can as a consequent function perfectly well in society. If they are accepted as such in their chosen gender and no one knows their medical history, which becomes less and less relevant to their daily lives. If they are happy and contended with their lives and able to achieve great things, then how can they be considered mentally ill?

Remember that you said:

mentally Ill people by clinical definition have a impediment in how they think and or interact with others.

Ah, no. I am saying people with mental disorders/mental illness should not be in a position to make laws that allows them to indulge their disorder.

Great, let's ban freedom of religion.

Suffice to say, both authors of Drippy's book are proponents of the so called conversion therapy. Zucker ran a gender identity clinic until he closed shop after coming under scrutiny. So, business as usual.

Ah yes Zucker. And his familiar Alice Dredger. His methods have ruined many, many lives and his reputation is in tatters. He also frequently tries to sue people in order to remove any criticism about himself, even if it's posting of links to other web pages.

On the plus side for you they will not deem it a mental illness, to which I asked why, if it indeed fits the definition?

Because it's not a mental illness.

[Edwardo Piet]

No, according to modern psychology it is a mental health disorder.

Like I said -- homosexuality used to be wrongly considered a mental disorder, too.

The only mental disorder I can see with humanity is that far too many humans see themselves as the center of the planet. The evolutionary reason for that disorder is that we want to survive, and while that is natural, our false perceptions as a species lead us to ignore we are not a separate species.

Maybe I have some residual issues I need to work through but I simply don't like the idea of using same restroom a someone who is physically male. Intellectually, I fully know, quite well  no one  is likely to do anything to me, and we all just need to go potty but I still don't like any of this. Forget giving trans people their own restroom, I want an Alaina room at all the public places I frequent.

That's fine, men's public toilets are cleaner anyway.

What this entire thread boils down to is, it makes Drich feel disgusted and uncomfortable to imagine having to share a bathroom with a transexual. Unfortunately for him, no one here gives a shit.

I find it so ridiculous how some people feel that every single person of the opposite sex will want to fuck them, or get high on hearing them pee. A chick at work opened her eyes huge and yelled out, "You're into women? Gross! And we have been stall neighbors!"
Bitch, please. Your pee noises aren't appealing in any way. Fuck you. But let's say we were in a locker room. Let's say you changed in front of me. I don't care how sexy you think you are, if you have an A cup sized brain, I'm not looking anyway. Lack of brain and a bigoted mouth makes you unsexy anyway. 

So yeah. While some women worry about penises in the next door stall, penises that will never erect to a female piss session, I'm in the other stall trying to find a way to make my boobs look smaller, so smart girls get confused (out there, outside of the fucken bathroom).  

Your piss isn't sexy, people. Get over yourselves.

Your piss isn't sexy, people. Get over yourselves.

There's a porn niche that disagrees with you.
