[QUOTE="Frederick, post: 2832315, member: 17825"] It might end up that way. It seems that people can't have a discussion on this issue without childish name calling and unnecessary personal attacks. I disagree. To say transexuality is not a mental disorder is to underestimate the suffering and body dysmorphia many transexuals are going through. If feeling that your gender is different from your sex at birth is not a mental disorder, then what is it? In fact, it is registered officially as a mental illness called 'Gender dysphoria' ([url]http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2015/en#/F64.9[/url] [url]http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2015/en#/F64.8[/url] ) Homosexuality is similar, and it encourages sexual deviance, sodomy, pedophilia and beastiality and other acts of infamy. I thank you for your concern for my mental health, but as a result of my line of work, i've been thoroughly mentally tested and no mental or psychological defects have been discovered. More mental and psychological testing than most homosexuals or transsexuals go through. I don't see why it's so bad to call them mental disorders/illnesses or to call for treatment. Many of them actually seek treatment of their own accord. Should they be denied such treatment because you think they don't really suffer from a mental illness? Transexuals and homosexuals have been known to commit suicide out of despair because of a lack of assistance and this whole denial of the need for their treatment as a mental illness isn't helping the situation in my opinion. We should recognize it for what it is. I think it's horrible that people who are religiously opposed to homosexual or LGBT activities should be punished by the federal government/state for not wanting to associate with people who openly engage in such behavior. It is forcing them to tacitly support/approve of their behavior. [/QUOTE]
