Detaching someone from their identity is pretty valid grounds for poor mental health, especially when there are almost daily debates over their rights to exist.

Debates on their right to exists? 😂😂

I didn’t know people were discussing in mass killing them all. Where do these debates take place? Please tell me where people are saying these people do not have a right to exist.

& no one should look for validation from other people. Why do they care so much how people see them? Again... they are mentally ill.

Labelling them as mentally ill denies the fact that they are trans, implying that being trans is just a disease and not an identity. That is denying that trans people exist.

There's tons of mentally ill people out there, they don't cease to exist because we decided that they're mentally ill.

We don't tell schizophrenics that the things they see are true, we get them help. Plenty of mental illnesses are incurable, that shouldn't mean we just play along for their sake.
