You are an armchair critic. Now please go and resolve your emotional problems. Before you go pointing your finger at people that cannot easily change their minds and ways.

If you constantly go in for plastic surgery, a ethical doctor would refer you to a psychologist to see if you have body dismorophic.
Someone willing to cut off their genitalia because she want to be something they were not born as, have serious mental issues.
Do you believe Transgendered people are discriminated against?
I tend to agree with this sentiment:
"People get really wrapped up in their minds about people who are qu r-identified or trans-identified," he said. "It doesn't have to be that big of a deal. Correction, it isn't that big of a deal."
I'm glad you posted this. Truly I am clueless about these people, but then again, I was also clueless enough not to have a prejudice programed in advance.
Food for thought-- what if it turns out science discovers there's more to gender than just X or Y chromosomes? What if there's a Z no one knew to look at? Won't we all feel dumb finding out the earth wasn't flat after all.
What is there to be clueless about? They are what they are.

He needs to be heard by psychiatrists, a whole horde of them. It is a mental illness.
Lets get the right wingers treated first. I've seen some very severe cases of idiotism on this forum. Now, that is unnormal and can and needs to be be treated. Then those people will realize the BS they are spouting.

It's pretty common sense based, I don't know why some are insisting for an advanced degree on common sense.
If it takes far more energy to present yourself as something you're not, then you're fighting something natural, going against nature. If you're conflicted then you need a shrink. I don't care how badly you want to fly, you're never going to be a real bird. You don't have wings, or a beak or feathers so why go out of your way to create it? Everyone is limited by the constraints of their physical appearance in the absence of plastic surgery and help from science. Why fight it? Doesn't it take more effort to keep up a masquerade, and put on that public face for the world so you have the appearance of being something you're not?
That's where the inner conflict comes from, balancing between something you're not, and something you so strongly desire.

You don't think there's ANYTHING wrong with someone who wants to have their penis removed and a vagina put in its place, as well as taking massive amount of hormones which are proven to cause cancer and heart disease?
