never met a transmission other than skull candy, online. him planr and i were tight waaay back when. he apparently went through with surgery to become a woman, left bl or got banned, then rejoined while i was kind of on a break and claimed to identify as a male? idk, bad memories. i missed out on a lot of the drama surrounding him, but he definitely had some screws loose. not sure if it was related to the transloveuality if that bit was even real to begin with, but regardless i can also agree to trans. being a mental disability

Dysphoria is a legit illness... which needs to be treated by going through the proper therapy (HRT, regular psych appointments, etc). It's the stigma that everyone has a problem with.

just to play devils advocate
should we attempt to "fix" people who have gender dysphoria? if its recognized as a mental instability, why encourage it? shouldn't we help these people find themselves to be an effective part of society? wouldn't being able to overcome the disability make more sense than trying to make everyone else accommodate it? why encourage transloveuality?

The fixing part is getting them to actually think out their situation and possibly make the change, which we already do. There is no "encouragement", it's just that people legit have dysphoria and people use to play it off as full insanity. There really isn't a critical problem with people transitioning, it's not like the world is going to loving end because about 1-5% of the world has dysphoric feelings. There is a limit to it (otherkin, etc), but those are extreme circumstances compared to this, something that doesn't deserve the stigma that it has. The worst part about it is the people who make such a big deal out of it, as someone who is trans, I don't make it an every day thing to bitch about my dysphoria or shove my problems down your throat. Normal people don't do that and nor do normal cis people. So why people make a big deal out of it is beyond me and those are the people we should complain about.

transloveuality is not a mental disability. its a lifestyle choice people make.

except it literally isn't. is being gay a lifestyle choice too? this has been discussed plenty already.

[Planr]

Because it was a choice for me to have unnaturally low testosterone due to a possibly broken pituitary gland that I have. Wow, man I could totally choose all of my naturally occurring anomalies. The choices are endless    😱😱😱😱   

[Planr]

having low testosterone does not make you transloveual. its common among older men to have low testosterone for example, that does not make them women.

[Pecon]

yes, it is

being gay or transgender isn't just a matter of you wake up one day and decide to "give it a try", it's a lifelong desire to feel correct in your own body; or in the case of gays, the desire to love the people you want to. it doesn't count as a lifestyle choice because it's an attribute that nobody gets to decide and doesn't change.
