Is transgenderism a mental illness?

Before society became so pathetic that it started taking people who think they can switch genders at will seriously, transgenderness was called gender dysphoria, by not recognizing that transgenderness is a mental illness you are encouraging transgenders to become even more confused about what gender is which leads to the delusion that there can be ten billion genders and that you have to respect them all or you're Hitlers grandfather.

Transgenders have the highest suicide rate of anyone, Youre gonna say its because of bullying - but no the rates are still almost exactly the same between a transgender before and after the transformation. We glorify these mentally insane beings to be polite, yet we are doing them a disservice. Instead of glorifying these people we should be sending them to get help. Imagine if everyone glorified schizophrenic people instead of sending them for treatment. It is scientifically proven. Having gender dysphoria is a serious mental illness that needs to be treated

You are correct.

Your first line that said.... before society became so pathetic.

I would quantify that statement and be more specific. Not all of society believes this political correct lunacy the Left has been spewing for decades now.

It is the Liberal Democrat Party and those on the Progressive Liberal Left that has pushed this PC insanity.

We still have millions of people who elected Trump, who understand the obvious things you just shed light on.

Yes, most all of these unnatural sexual orientations, disorders, or whatever the political correct Left wants to call them these days, are mental issues, disorders, fetishes, etc. etc.

There is a war going on in this world against the very notion of norns, of moral values, and of Christianity. The world is lifting up all that is at odds with the natural order to life and a strong family foundation for our children.

There can be no other reason why these Progressives are so in bed with every unnatural sexual orientation out there.

It's quite amazing to watch as these hypocrites, claiming to be so tolerant and inclusive of diversity, while being the most hateful judgmental people on the planet when it comes to Christians.

Have you noticed how these people on the Left never dare speak out against Islam ad the atrocities they support against Gays, women, etc. etc.

This proves that their hate and judgment is not applied to all religions. No, they only push their bigotry against Christians while being silent against Islam's inhuman treatment of those who do not abide by their religion.

This is a war against Christianity, and is the only explanation for their unnatural fixation and support of abortion, and all these abnormal sexual orientations.

I am going to select dysphoria to a certain extent. Gender dysphoria is the act of feeling distressed because you feel you aren't truly the gender you were assigned to at birth.

Being transgender isn't dysphoria (like i mentioned before>>) because "gender dysphoria is the act of feeling distressed because you feel you aren't truly the gender you were assigned to at birth." So usually this would be the stages (for some) before starting to transition into the gender they truly believed they were.

As somebody has said in this debate, Transgender, out of all sexualities, has the highest suicide and depression rate, this is not due to dysphoria. If you've had a look at recent stats, young students who are transgender (64% of them) have been bullied, and a large percentage of them have felt out of place and isolated and have contemplated taking their lives/ self harmed. This can CAUSE mental health.

Transgenderism itself is not a mental illness, it's mainly the environment around the transgender person which can cause the mental illness.

Also may I add.. "Gender dysphoria is a recognised medical condition, for which treatment is sometimes appropriate. It is not a mental illness."

Side: dysphoria

Obviously no. Not unless you think homosexuality (i.e. the biological condition which encourages them to want to change gender) is also a mental illness.

About half the things you say are spot on. The other half are stupid.

Well, then it is some unfortunate coincidence that these groups have disproportionately high instances of successful and attempted suicide, depression, and other mental conditions.

Obviously no. Not unless you think homosexuality (i.e. the biological condition which encourages them to want to change gender) is also a mental illness.

The difference is that homosexuals are not claiming to be something they're not, if you love dicks that's on you. But it's delusional to think you are a woman when you have a dick.

Although FactMachine is usually wrong, I think it is best simply to present the facts which destroy his arguments and avoid calling him "stupid", Nomenclature.

Gender dysphoria is indeed identified as a diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5.

Why should anyone else care if somebody doesn't identify with their birth gender, or disagree with what they see as the more gender binary natures of modern society?

And why is "Hitler's Grandfather" an insult? By all reports he was a peaceable wandering miller.
