Are Transgender People Mentally Ill?

While media shuns the very idea of whispering a challenge of the identities of people who identify as transgender, I'd like to tear down the walls of censorship erected by the LGBT and SJW agenda and see what people think. Sometimes, it is debated that transgender people are mentally ill. Their "identity" is often compared to the very real mental illness "Body Integrity Identity Disorder", which states that a person believes they are something that they are not. For example, a woman from Norway named Nano believes she is a cat born in the body of a human, and has adopted feline behaviors to match her identity. Does any of this carry over into the identities of transgender people? Since this topic is so sensitive to many people, I would encourage the conversation to be free of hatred or bigotry, and filled with objectivity, logic, research, and fact-based opinions.

Maybe. It is abnormal behavior that goes way beyond quirkiness.

transgenderism is a spiritual mental dysfunction .... Dr. Paul R. McHugh, is a brilliant former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital. He has written more than 125 peer-reviewed medical journal articles and has published six scholarly books. When it comes to former Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner’s recent changes, he has things to say which will make liberals furious! .... McHugh reaffirms the obvious – changing the sex of a human is not possible. And, instead of a liberating sexual movement, those who think they are transgender are actually suffering from a life-destroying mental disorder.

It's a dissociation disorder. You are you. If you feel as if something is wrong with your body, maybe your body isn't the one with the problem. The inmates are running the asylum.

There is a similar disorder with limbs too called Body Integrity Dysphoria. It still exists today. There are mentally insane/ill individuals around, men & women alike who feel as if an arm or a leg or any limb doesn't belong to him or her. They "feel" as if it should be chopped off. It is the same thing with gender dysphoria, except it's with the genitalia; male's penis & female's ovaries. We should not allow them to actually push for that in clinics because right now, it's being forced onto innocent children. It's what I call a crime and all drag queens need to be shot on sight. No quarter given. Puberty blockers are immoral and need to be banned immediately for the safety & security of all young boys and girls.

Here below is the truth behind how "gender reassignment" began and how ultimately, the toxic lgbtpedos group now spread misinformation and lies about "gender being a social construct".

They suffer from a mental illness called Gender Dysphoria which is much like the limb dysphoria disorder aka Body Integrity Dysphoria; the belief that one's arm or leg doesn't belong to him or her. It's essentially the same issue along the lines of delusions when connected with gender dysphoria but with the person's genitalia. Males and females can be subject to suffering from this because of his or her psychological issues. Sometimes it's due to past childhood trauma that leads to the man or woman feeling less of who he or she is. This then leads towards going against his gender of birth as a male or her gender of birth as a female. It was John Money in 1955 who caused this whole charade to unfold. He believed that "gender is a social construct" and declared that it can be "fluid". This is what the lgbtpedos use today and they say "love is love" is how it goes but nope. It's all lust. You see, should women be allowing men to falsely identify as women to play women's only sports? I don't think so. One, it's because they are men, they belong in men's sports not women's sports. Two, it's disturbing because they are stronger than women. Three, it's delusional. Did you know that so called "sex change or gender reassignments" often fail? The voice doesn't change and ESPECIALLY, ESPECIALLY THE NATURAL GENITALIA THE INDIVIDUALS ARE BORN WITH ARE IRRELPLACEABLE! Not only are "trans" individuals mentally ill, they want to force the children to now do it too. Therefore, yes, they are mentally ill and need to be put into psychiatric hospitals for professional help immediately. Gender/sex can never be changed. Men are men. Women are women. Leave the boys & girls alone. Or the Justice League & Justice Society of the Internet will intervene to silence all truthphobic, heterophobic and Christophobic snowflakes. My words are absolute universal facts.

Well, let's say that my name is Robert, but I identify as Henry or Charles and sometimes as Bartholomew I would be diagnosed as suffering from dissociative disorder.

I would almost certainly be prescribed medication such as serotonin and/or reuptake inhibitor antidepressants.

Counseling with psychiatric professionals would be included in the recommended treatment for this multi-personality disorder.

Now, if my real name is still Robert, but I identify as being Henrietta or Charlotte and sometimes Bartholoma I would be declared as being psychologically perfectly normal and anyone who dared say I wasn't mentally stable would be branded as a transphobic.

Maybe Yes Maybe No but truth is their Progressive politicians did not protect them from the 2nd Worst Mass Shooting in American History ! The Skittles Flag being illuminated on The White House did not protect their rights in any way in Orlando ! So with that said what have the Progressive politicians done to protect their voter base of the LGBT community ?

Side: Yes

No they are not mentally ill. It is perfectly normal for a person to feel like they were born as the wrong gender, and then begin a series of self-mutilations attempting to resemble the gender they feel is correct for them.

Emotionally disturbed, maybe. Mentally ill, no.

Sounds very lukewarm. Gender dysphoria is the "transgender" linked issue. John Money in 1955 started this whole thing. They are mentally ill and emotionally disturbed. This is a universal fact that MANY DENY! Gender/sex still cannot be changed to this day according to biological facts. Men are men. Women are women. Boys are boys. Girls are girls. The two don't cross over. Marriage and true love is only between a real man and a real woman.

aw are you scared that your little gender binary is gonna disrupt the universal way of how the world works??? that makes so much sense i totally agree with you!!!

jokes aside really your idea of gender is so pathetic all it needs is one person literally just one person and the whole thing collapses. if aliens do exist do you think they would care about whats in their pants or whatever? do you think anybody actually gives one fuck about your opinion? most of us here are arguing here for the sake of pissing people like you off. you dont have to be an all knowing being to know that people can in fact express who they are by using they/them, she/her, he/him, star/starself pronouns and not be a fucking asshole too the world. like we have one... one fucking life and somehow you exist? we have one life and if that's how people want to live so be it. they aren't fucking around pointing guns at peoples heads saying "YOU NEED TO CALL ME HE/HIM PRONOUNS OR I WILL SHOOT" or some shit. they are just telling you to stop fucking talking or even interacting with them in the first place if you dont like them. seriously what do you think gay people are doing in their free time? so like is it fair in your logic that gay people get literally tortured or some shit because of doing something that doesn't harm ANYBODY. i mean fuck it I'm gonna admit i feel like therians are fucking weird but i dont go outside hunting for them and threatening to shoot them because they "failed this city" i treat them like a normal fucking person. why? BECAUSE I THINK ITS FUCKING WEIRD BUT THEY ARENT HARASSING ME SO I RESPECT WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY ARE DOING IN THEIR LIFE. like bro how hard is the concept of if it doesn't harm anyone its fine a hard thing too process.

like fucking seriously i could disagree on someones beliefs on some shit and i dont go talking shit about them and sending full blown death threats and calling them a pedo/truthphobe/christphobe/rapist/any slur because in the end of the day our demise is the same just unconsciousness nothingness... so really we shouldn't give a shit about what a persons pronouns are when there is litterally problems like idk racism, sexism, global warming, world hunger etc.

like for fucks sakes how the fuck is changing pronouns so offensive too some people its 2022 grow the fuck up already.

You don't seem to understand the difference between fact and your own (incorrect) opinion. Sex changes have been happening since the 1950s and even earlier:-

nope. its okay too want too change gender its just a spepctrum anyways. i think we should just leave trans people the fuck alone and not harrass them and shit. i mean if it was considered mental illness (its not) shouldlnt we be treating them like idk not consantly threatening too beat them? it should be obvious on what im saying just treat people fucking decently for gods sakes

Definitely. Unfortunately, most of the hatred against transsexuals is a result of the 12th century religious bigotry hiding in plain sight in the United States.

There are large portions of America where the average person is simply dumb as a rock and militantly religious. Worse, they are passing that on to their children.

like its fine too be religious and be believe lgbtq+ is bad (like believing its a sin but believing equal rights should be a thing) but like just because you are against something doesnt mean you should threaten people with guns or some shit.

like come on even if it was a "mental disorder" we shouldnt go "YOUR MENTALLY ILL AND DESERVE TO GO TO HELL" we wouldnt do that to someone with autism/adhd/ something else now.

if they want people in there religoun they shouldnt be fucking morons because from what i read in the bible we should treat everyone with respect right? also the bible was lost in translation what it meant originally was pedophillia when he said boy and man.

Let them do what they want, especially if they are guys. That way, girls will feel threatened by them, homophobic guys will get confused by them, and the rest of us will laugh at the chaos. Especially, sexual harassers like the guy in this video: https://youtu.be/3rLjVeQJ-n8

There is no such thing as "homophobia" nor "transphobia". Allow me to properly lecture you on this. Phobia means irrational fear. There is no irrational fear towards gays nor invalid "trans" abominations who now, hilariously and pathetically call themselves the transgressive movement. Now in Christianity, transgressive equals to transgression which also equals to sinful and to being proudly wicked aka proud sinners! Lgbtpedos are condemning themselves and they will fail in corrupt good men, good women, good boys and good girls. There is irrational fear towards the truth, Christians and heterosexuals. Your arguments are invalidated and no, we will not let them do whatever they want because they are targeting kids and forcing adults to agree with this insanity. We, the people will not comply. I have spoken absolute universal facts.

I have not called into question whether or not they should be doing it. Nor have I stated that I think transsexualism is right or wrong. My religion (if I am with any, which again, I have not stated) also has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. You can clearly see the question, right? I was really hoping to see strong arguments from both sides, but as expected, the affirmative side offers no research, no proof. Simply cheap shots at me and baseless opinions. I will not be offering my opinion on this topic, but I wish you good luck should you choose to continue the debate.

Also, I am aware the site must place me on a side, but I was simply disputing your claims about my religion.
