Anyone that tells you being transgender is a mental health disorder, is lying through their teeth. It's so MUCH more complex than that. "Being transgender is not a mental illness. But people who are transgender face unique challenges, such as gender dysphoria and discrimination, which can affect their mental health. Getting support and assistance from a qualified provider can bring healing and help you live a healthier, more fulfilling life." src: Cleveland Clinic https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/21963-transgender-ensuring-mental-health #LGBTQ
@PaganMother It's no where near a mental health issue. It's related to a divergence in development in utero between the brain and body.
Since people are their consciousness by and large, its much more efficacious and logical to bring the body into sync with the mind.
Otherwise you're trying to literally kill who that person is.
So much for pro life.
@NiveusLepus It's pretty much close to the same category of mental health as autism and other conditions are listed as. Not so much a disorder but rather a different "brain wiring" that sets us apart from the typical neuro "setup".
@NiveusLepus Funny thing is, they are STILL uncovering variations in what is known about the brain wiring and sections that function for different purposes. So there's still a whole lot of mystery in how the brain works and what it does with different wiring "setups" in regards to synapse and the neurons.
@PaganMother I posted a talk last week, I think it was, from a neurologist talking a bout some amazing findings from the last 6 or 7 studies on transgender folk.
