Dealing with anti-trans bullying

Went back and looked at the OP and see its a different thread then expected, thought this was a school bathroom thingy. If the older man had a problem he should have talked to management or called the police if he felt inclined. But approaching the child and doing what he did is not appropriate.

 

In that case, I get your previous comment.

 

blacks supported the Democrats in national elections almost 90% of the time

 

Cool story.

 

well it sort of bitch slaps the attempt by some to pretend that its mainly "MAGAS" who are unaccepting of mental disorders concerning gender confusion

 

The irony of this post just broke my screen.

 

you don't think a mental disorder is involved? LOL.

 

I do not. But that isn't the irony I was referring to. The irony was you trying to absolve MAGA of the anti-trans stuff while engaging in it yourself.

 

I am not anti trans-I don't attack them, etc. The only problem I have with trans is when they think men should compete in women's sports divisions. and I do have a jaundiced view of their voting patterns-they tend to support the left but I understand why. People who call them sinners tend to be on the right. Being agnostic, that is not an insult I ever use

 

You referred to all trans people as mentally ill. Yes, you are anti-trans. And, yes, calling them that is an insult.

 

you deny it's a mental disorder for someone with a penis to think he's a girl or someone with a vagina thinking she's a dude? saying someone has a mental disorder is not an insult.

 

We have a long history, across human geography, of recognizing non-biological aspects of gender. Besides, even if you think they are wrong, that doesn't make it a mental disorder. Being wrong is not a mental disorder. There's a reason why the medical community is against you on this, but I am sure you have conspiracy theories for that. Is Christianity a mental disorder? What should the treatment be?

hmmmm.

 

Gender dysphoria is not the same thing as being trans. The APA has clarified this several times. The only people still making this mistake are people who haven't done their homework. Hmmm

But it is interesting seeing you advocate surgery as a treatment for gender dysphoria.

 

I don't. I was merely noting that the MC considers it something needing treatment. sounds like a disease or disorder to me. many liberals claim children are not mature enough to be able to buy a gun until they are at least 21 but they seem to think a kid can choose to be emasculated or get an "adadiktome" surgery at age 9

 

While I don't understand how someone can think they are a different gender than how they were born, I don't believe the medical profession has deemed anyone who believes they are a different gender as mentally ill. Gender incongruence isn’t what makes gender dysphoria a mental disorder. Having clinically significant dysphoria around the incongruence is what makes it a disorder.

 

Because you are claiming that being trans and having gender dysphoria are the same thing. They are not. But thank you for admitting (even though you misread your own link) that you just kind of pick and choose from the MC when you find it convenient for your agenda. But since you refuse to answer my questions even after I answered yours, I think this is the end of our "conversation"

 

You would be correct there, on every point.

 

I noted disorder-vs Illness.

 

You are still conflating being trans with having gender dysphoria. They are not the same thing. Not every trans person has gender dysphoria. You were wrong about what your own link actually says. I have answered your question. No more responses until you answer mine, except to remind you that you still haven't answered mine.

 

You are overthinking this. I state that if a man thinks he should be a woman, he has a mental disorder. do you disagree

 

I will not answer any more of your questions until you have the courtesy to answer mine.

 

I wouldn't call it an inconsistency. The person simply already had a negative opinion of trans persons, and saw somebody who seems to be trans using a bathroom that doesn't match what the person thought their biological sex is. So they used this as an opportunity to put a trans person in their place.

I'm not defending those actions. Just saying it's expected/plausible behavior of a bigoted person.

 

your attempt to have me speak for a faith I do not hold?

 

I've seen this come up before but I don't recall an explanation. What is the difference? Are you saying that a successfully treated trans person no longer has gender dysphoria, because dysphoria requires distress, and their distress can be resolved? Or is it something else?
