They also don't seem to understand how the burden of proof works. I'm not surprised, because they have never understood that they are responsible for their own actions.
I posted the case of a female who had a Y chromosome in that video (I know it's an hour but it's very informative). There was also a village where girls turned into men a puberty. The point I would like to make is there is still much we don't know. I don't much trust definitive statements no matter the traditions behind them. I think it's premature to say "you're either male or female and that is that." That's the way it's been but maybe there is more to it then that. Maybe we are even still evolving.
You don't actually believe that do you?
Folks, witness the religion of leftism! Miracles! Orthodoxy! The almighty GOD!

The above is what you presented when I asked you to back up this statement:
those articles establish that it is listed presently in the DSM5 as a mental disorder. the criteria for mental disorder is: A condition is designated as a mental illness when the very fact that you have it causes distress and dysfunction, said Geoffrey Reed, a professor of psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, a consultant on the ICD-11, and co-author of the study told the Washington Post. The study argues that this isn't the case with transgender identity.
I think any distress they feel is from the way they are treated and not from being trans in and of itself.
If you read those links you posted it actually makes the case that trans is NOT a mental illness.
I'm not a conservative (I'm a moderate) but I just don't see how it is not a mental illness. I have a milder form of Bipolar II - so I am classified as mentally ill. Sometimes my reality is skewed because the chemicals in my brain aren't right. People who are delusional and/or psychotic have lost touch with reality. Some folks with serious Bipolar I can think they are actually a famous person from history - say Napoleon. But they aren't. Just because they truly believe they are doesn't change the fact. And the fact is that you are either born with the chromosomes of a male or female. Note that I am not trying to be unkind. As someone with mental issues of my own, I have tremendous with trans folks. As to what is normal or not - that is a societal construct that varies with over time and with culture.
that's not even close to what I was talking about.
