No, but gender dysphoria, as in being very uncomfortable with your own body because you think you're the wrong sex, clearly is mental illness.

Being a psychologist, doctor or geneticists is how you know this? The creative process is perfect? It's not flawed? It always gets it right?

I find it amazing that people understand that things don't always work the same every time but can not understand the same thing can happen here.

Doesn’t make sense.
Are you saying it’s ONLY transgenders who prey at kids in the restrooms?

I read it in a research article that ”Public restrooms are the most frequent places in USA where kids get sexual assaults” - and I see that MANY people, very casually let their small kids go to the public restrooms all by themselves and without any adult supervision - but I didn’t know it were all transgenders behind all sexual assaults on kids in public rest rooms.


Note:
Imagine this scene that many of us have seen it many times.


A car pulls into a gas station - adults/parents stay in the car - a small kid gets out and gets into the store to use the public restroom while adults munch on crap in the car.


Parents/Guardians,
DO YOU FREAKING KNOW WHO ELSE IS IN THE PUBLIC RESTROOM WITH YOUR SMALL KID?

Do not, DO NOT !!, let your small kids go into the public restrooms all by themselves - small kids ALWAYS need protection and adult supervision in the public restrooms
!!

Obviously it can and does happen. Some small number of people are indeed freaked out by their own genitalia. And if that isn't mental illness then what is?

"Freaked out" is not a medical term. Someone's wiring not wiring the same way as yours does not make you a "freak". It simply makes you who you are.

Just for the sake of argument, let's argue it's a mental issue. That is not a reason to demonize people and call them names. That noted, we can NOT rewire people so to me we accept people as they are wired if they are not wired in a way that harms others and I'm not harmed by the person in the OP. I agree that their argument in this one is weak but in a big picture it's incredibly minor.

This particular woman, with her tampon crusade and her bloody crotch pictures I would call an attention seeing freak. But in general, people with gender dysphoria have my sympathy. I can't imagine how troubling such a condition would be. They need an effective treatment that doesn't require mutilation. Hopefully researchers will continue to work towards one, undeterred by the recently fashionable "it's who you are" BS.

The Left demands more and more that the general public ignore scientific facts. Even basic scientific facts of what is male and female. Tolerance is not the Left's goal....only complete agreement is acceptable to them.

Few people are interested in how strangers live their lives; live and let live. However, progressives demanding others ideologically embrace fantasy, even participate in that fantasy, is unreasonable.

Yes your "wiring" makes you who you are.

And if your wiring is 'off, ' using your terminology, it makes a person mentally ill. No one is demonizing anyone. It is not demonizing to point out that someone is ill.

To *pretend* this is a healthy behavior is intellectually and medically dishonest. And to teach schoolchildren in public schools that it is normal/healthy is promoting untruth as truth.

Excellent post.

it always astounds me that anorexics, who have significant distress and boy dysmorphic disorder, not unlike transgenders, are seen as ill and in need of immediate assistance. But transgenderism? Is deemed normal and healthy. Even though it is clearly a disease according to the APA. If it wasn't?

It would NOT be in the DSM V. DSM V classifies unhealthy behaviors, not healthy behaviors.
