Is being trans a 'disease'/mental health issue?

[SolveMyPrombles]

I'm asking on this board for deliberate considered responses so please do share your thoughts.

A lady on a local group has described being trans as a mental illness that should be treated with compassion not pandered to because it's a disease.

Looking into it more deeply I believe she's wrong and there is no current diagnostic manual that agrees with her take.

What do you think?

It's a combination of syndromes, between Swyer Syndrome and CAIS, that covers most things. Not just the one you chose because you don't like the idea that they could give birth, so didn't bother checking to avoid facing that.

I didn't choose anything. You're the one who failed to tell me what I was supposed to look for.

The suggesting no part of the brain can be expressed genetically on it's own

Did I say that? Mind you, maybe I did, because I have no idea what you mean by that.

Trans people claim to change their secondary sex traits to align with their internal sense of gender not their reproductive (gametes) sex traits so its a matter of how they are defining 'sex'.

There is no such thing as gender.

I agree about internal perceptions being wrong, though.

Some change nothing. Bar clothing etc. And her penis is an impossibility, as you know.

Disclaimer because this over is a sensitive topic im only asking questions rather than assuming i know anything

if you took a human body, and before surgeons and moden medicine was possible, and you hacked, cut, sawn off parts you didnt like, then by all intents and purposes can you explain to me how that is not damaging the body that genetics and nature created ?

My examples are :

Immediate Physical Destruction
Tissue trauma: Hacking or sawing physically destroys specialized cellular structures.
Massive hemorrhage: Cutting major blood vessels causes rapid, fatal blood loss.
Circulatory shock: Loss of blood volume leads to immediate organ failure.
No cellular repair: Nature cannot rebuild complex limbs or organs once removed.

The context of this discussion pertains to the validity of a trans identity not how a conflict in rights should be managed. You seem to be making an argument that the conflict in rights between trans women & cis women invalidates the legitimacy of a trans identity which is a non sequitur.

Not at all, you said that religion was also an internal belief system, amd I just said why the two things were different.

As it happens, I don't believe in either. I don't have a gender identity, I am just who I am. And I find claiming to be something someone quite clearly isn't, rather odd. Wishing to be it, I can understand but being it, well no. And therefore to me, to go back to the thread question, it does seem to be a mental illness.

Gender refers to the socially constructed categories of behaviours, expressions, and identities of girls, women, boys, men, and gender-diverse people. The idea common behaviours don't exist among the sexes is as mentally distorted as what an anorexic believes.

Why does any of this necessitate to profoundly modify one's body?

My question in relations to your point :

how can modifying a body built by one set of genetic blueprints in one design suddenly become another design when the original brain programming was built and designed for the bodies original blueprint design and not the new modifyed design regardless of what the user of the body thinks the body should be ?

So what about detransitioners. They seem to have believed they need to present as the opposite sex, then to have realised they want to live as the sex they are born. I can't see how this isn't a mental health disorder.

Well no, only some of them are, for historical reasons.

Others are called cults.

There are plenty of people who believe mad things which are neither respected with social, nor legal legitimacy.

Cis is deeply offensive to me. To suggest I am a subset of the category woman is incorrect. I don't expect you to care but I want you to know this is the case.

Detransitioners are ignored. Seethlaw is ignored. Biology is ignored. The fact that women find 'cis' objectionable is ignored. Everything that doesn't fit the one true way is ignored.

for example that the earth was the centre of the universe and omg Galileo for suggesting otherwise

which then begs the question why is the trans ship so important ?

And that's fascinating, isn't it, how did this movement become so powerful, and why?

thats the puzzlement whats it all for. its not like humans can be real shapeshifters and change their body naturally at will, they need to use science to butcher natures creation

I don't have a gender identity

Well you are either gender conforming to your sex or not.

What on earth does that mean apart from conforming to stereotypes?

Jennifer Bilek, in her book "Transsexual transgender transhuman" does indeed conclude that the transgender craze is the first step in a transhuman search. Scary stuff.

Bodily presentation is an expression of an internal sense of gender an example is when a cis woman wants to enlarge her breasts as an inclination towards feminine expression or a cis man increases his muscular physique via steroids or weights.

But what about non binary? Are they not helpful to your cause any more?

And if I say I don't, I don't, isn't that how it works?

So a woman who doesn't have big tits and no desire to enlarge them is gender non-conforming?

thank you, personally im in favour of humans equiped with machines its just puzzling

my question for anyone

if anyone can explain how can you take a human body born male or female, and reskin it and then suddenly its the oposite of its design, even when all the inside parts are still the original design
