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."
Anything a bit different will be viewed by the populace suspiciously. I would have a lot of curious questions for any transgender person I spoke with. But no hate from me. To each his own...
Transgendered people are mentally ill, and need psychological help, not hormones and surgery.
It's like if a white person thought they were really black, and had surgeries etc. to make themselves look black. Or any other race, thinking they are another one, and doing something, using surgical, about it.
There's something wrong with you if you would multilate/change your body because you cannot accept who you are.
These people need psychological help, not medical services, or "understanding" other than understanding that they need to be helped, not enabled.

Can you provide the medical research that has led you to conclusion?

What would the research need to prove? That a person who is one thing, but thinks they are another has mental issues? I think this diagnoses is pretty self evident.
He needs to be heard by psychiatrists, a whole horde of them. It is a mental illness.
Now just to be clear, Transgendered is different then Hermaphodites.
Hermaphadites actually have the physical characteristics of both sexes between their legs. I would assume you would be more understanding of their gender identity issues?
Absolutely, transgendered people are discriminated against. I'm not a transsexual/transgender, but I've known a few of them, and their lives are not easy. I don't envy them, but I do try to be sympathetic to their situation.
O.K. in the article it's said that the category "M or F" is fraught with a lot of anxiety for people with a gender issue. And that one person claims "I'm a woman". Well, you're really not a woman, or a female by the strictest definition. Genetic. You can hope against all hope that you're an airplane and convince yourself you can fly, but at the end of the day, everyone knows you're not an airplane, so why fight your genetics?
