    Being trans is a choice. Transgender people obviously don't choose the mental illness that causes them to believe they aren't something they scientifically are but everything else about being transgender (IE the identification, transitioning, etc) is a choice.

    Being transgender isn't a choice. Transitioning is. Not what I'm arguing, again.
    Yeah it means gay lesbian bi and trans blah blah blah basically. I don't blame you, they don't teach it - I didn't know at first either haha

    I literally didn't say anything that differs from what you just said apart from my opening statement, which regards the lifestyle. The mental illness itself isn't a choice but the lifestyle and transitioning is. That's what I said. That's what you said.

    Bro did I ever argue that the transition was a choice? No, I said being trans is. I agree with you, transition is a choice.
    E; flip the first two around

    Then what say you in regards to it being a mental illness? Do you believe that it should be openly encouraged, or something that requires treatment, as essentially every other mental illness ever?

    Sorry got my words got mixed up, flip the first two around

    this is why i don't talk about trans people
    well they thought homosexuality was a mental illness at first too, didn't they?
    i'm not arguing either side because we're only researching it just now and we genuinely don't know, but i don't think it's hurting anybody. we'll see how it pans out with more research but i would play it safe and not call trans people ill just yet

    Perhaps we should find a more effective treatment then, because sex reassignment surgery does little to better the mortality rate

    We also have to take into account that the transgender community as a whole is, in general, quite mentally ill http://thefederalist.com/2015/08/19/transgender-regret-is-real-even-if-the-media-tell-you-otherwise/

    Not trying to demonize these people, I'm just arguing that we're taking the wrong approach in dealing with them. Be like telling someone like myself who struggles with anxiety that it's perfectly okay to worry about nothing & that it's society's fault for stigmatizing these feelings

    close-mindedness is more of a mental illness than identifying as trans it appears
