[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gross.  Sick.  Wrong.  Mentally ill.  Take your struggles to a therapist and work this all out privately.

wow...this is NOTHING a therapist could fix because its not a mental health problem!  wtf is wrong with you?[/quote]
It is though. It is categorized as a dysphoria. Other dysphorias (body, limb etc) are treated with medication and intensive therapy with a great deal of success. Because the transgender issue was grouped in with LGBT issues it became something that had to be tolerated and accepted, instead of treated.

I am not the PP and I would never say things like "Gross.  Sick.  Wrong." I also don't care how people dress or present themselves, if they want to call themselves Caitlyn when their name is Bruce or Prince Vlad and wear fangs when their name is Frank. I do feel though we are treating gender dysphoria incorrectly.

Well, every transgender person I've read about (quite a lot) and known (three) went through years and years of intensive but unsuccessful therapy because therapy was never going to change the reality that for them, they were in the wrong body. What do you propose they do, when it seems to me that transitioning actually solves their mental anguish. Yes, I get it creates discomfort for others, but it solves [i]their[/i] problem. Are you suggesting that they should be treated in a way that makes it easier for [i]you[/i]?[/quote]

Question for pp.  I am not sure if this has been covered yet, but aren't people born with this?  Didn't Bruce know he was different at a very young age?  How was he able to marry and have children knowing that he wanted to be female.  How was he able to love and make love to a woman when he wanted to be one himself?  He dressed like a man, most transgender a I know want to dress the opposite.  It just seems like this came on "all of a sudden".  Why after 60 years? Why not sooner?[/quote]
