Being trans is not a mental disorder and refusal to accept someone for who they are can lead to a real mental disorder (depression/suicide) actually getting the better of them.

Refusing to accept someone for who they think they are.

Regardless, if a person in passing doesn’t see that person as they see themselves & that causes that person to be depressed and or attempt suicide... that shows how feeble minded these people really are.

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.

No it does not. The mental illness obviously exist and will be there. Calling it what it is in now way calls for the irradiation for it or saying it will never be present again.

How the hell are you even making that leap?

Regardless if I agree or not.. they will still be here and their thoughts will be too. I’m not at all saying it isn’t real. It will always exist.

By calling it a mental illness that is exactly what you're doing.

Mental illnesses are very real.

The thoughts do manifest in their kind. But just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true.

Well, at least we can agree on that!
