They shouldnt' have special rights at all. I'm up in the air about the prison thing personally for some practical reasons of relations between prisoners and it depends largely on "when" they transitioned how much muscle mass they have comparatively to men or women. So that's more a gray area.
I didn't see Gender Dysphoria on the list of banned disorders by the military. It's a disorder, but not an illness. And it may not be a classified disorder for longer when DSM6 comes out most likely because of this very reason.
They can live however they want. But they don't get to dictate how other people see them.
And not just prisons. If you want to use a public restroom, take your dick to the restroom where all the other dicks go.
Its a mental disorder. The word disorder is defined in the dictionary as "a disturbance in physical or mental health or functions; malady or dysfunction:"
Anyone want to guess where a bunch of Valentine's Day flowers come from?
It wasn't a Nazi salute. If you play the audio he says his heart goes out to everyone. He was grabbing his heart and throwing it to everyone there. He seems to be socially awkward. That can be seen in his manerisms at past rallies and other events with Trump. He is like an excited teenager. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a touch of Asperger's in there somewhere. Elan is just Elan and nothing more. Fuck the media.
It's not defined as a disorder in DSM5. It's just labeled "gender dysphoria," because it's not an illness. No where is it considered an illness. It's just refered to as "a condition." It's considered a neurodivergence.
I thought it was pretty common knowledge that he’s on the spectrum. I couldn’t understand why they’re making his awkwardness out to be malice, except “Orange Man Bad, and our former favorite billionaire is a traitor”.
Look, We all have a right to the pursuit of happiness and to feel safe. But a line needs to be defined. You trapped in the wrong body and are an adult; there is a procedure. Commit and follow it. At the end, when complete, I don’t care which prison you go to or which bathroom. But commit. Not like Lea Thomas who identified and still hung brain in the locker room. That isn’t right for any involved. I’m still confused how Lance Armstrong gets booted for hormones, WHILE he is fighting testicular cancer, yet Lea and others are ok. Call me confused.
The DSM does not make any claims about it, other than mentioning is an "incongruence." It doesn't call it an illness. It's a manual full of disorders, but the NIMH doesn't consider things like ASD an illness for example (they treat it as a developmental issue), and it's in the DSM5.
I don't. Until they start to tell me if I don't recognize them I'm a _________ (fill in the blank with what ever flavor of the month you want). Personally, I think they are mental cases. It is the constant in your face about their lifestyle that I can do without. For such a small percentage of the population they make a big enough stink about themselves that I can't help but have animosity. Live your life, stop shouting about it from the mountain tops and leave me alone.
I'm not saying anyone should be in anyone's face or flamboyant. I find it annoying.
Never said they didn't. I do though also believe in my right to be left alone and not have it broadcasted 24/7 in schools, the media, politics, etc.. THEY never know when to leave well enough alone. THEY don't even realize THEY cause their own problems but thrusting the spotlight on THEMSELVES. Live your life, stay out of mine and STFU.
Sure. Let these mental defectives dress how they want, chop off the pieces God gave them and play make believe.
There it is, you are a dem. I dont believe what you believe so I'm a phobe. Make up my mind? What are my choices? The quote I posted there you only give me one choice, to be a transphobe and discriminatory. Whats the alternative? Oh, to get on board with you and give in to irrational demands by irrational people with a mental disorder. I havent once in this exchange suggested being discriminatory at all. In true dem form, you just make it up as you go along. I dont give a fuck what somebody wants to call themselves, but dont expect me to succumb and call you by what you aint. Dont demand special privelege because you need mental help. Dont call yourself a woman when you got a dick and testosterone pumping in your system and expect to be allowed to compete in womans sports. If a genetic female takes testosterone she is not allowed to compete, but if you have it naturally, thats ok? In post #382 I quoted 2 statements by you that are contradictory, or were you just being a hypocritical dem?
