Transsexualism may very well be a mental disorder, that's something we are still looking into. While we are at it, I think we should also examine carefully the tendency that many have to tell others that they are sick...
There is a possibility trans people are ill, but there is a probability that because some people spend so much time telling others how they are sick those people will face discrimination as a result. How do you help trans people by repeating that they are sick? Why not instead repeat to the government that more research is needed if it concerns you so much?
Please spare me the Transgendered Victim Card. These people need mental health care, not affirmation of their delusions.

What you don't seem to understand is that these people already went and tried getting mental help, they've gone on drugs prescribed and self-medicated, they've seen priests of all kinds and tried everything you could possibly imagine.
This is not by any means new, the media attention lately is too much and there is def an agenda involving at least the subject, but this is not new and nothing we have been able to do for them has worked.
The only thing that works for some is letting them be, if you don't want to participate just stay away.
I know it would seem like you are being bombarded with the subject which may make it feel like it's being pushed to you, nobody likes feeling pressured to accept anything. But from having worked with these people I can assure you they are not in any position to push anything to anyone, trans people can't agree on a problem and even if they could it doesn't mean they could agree on a solution.
You know who does agree on a problem? Feminists
I haven't met a single trans person who supports an authoritarian bill like this one, not one, and I've dealt with thousands of trans people. You only see supporters on TV or the Internet, anyone can call themselves whatever they want on the Internet and demand anything they want.
