    Once again you offer all of this information without anything to back it up. You claim to have researched this. What exactly did you research? I've asked numerous times for documentation to back this stuff up and you fail time and time again.

    No, I agree. I guess it's the way transphobic people use the term "mental illness" as if that somehow illegitimizes transgender people. I think that there's definitely more that could be studied. For instance, my previous doctor barely knew what she was talking about it when she prescribed me...

    Nor does making claims of mental illness without even a shred of proof or documentation to back that up. I think it's safe to say that a majority of the psychological community doesn't deem being transgender as a mental illness. Feel free to prove otherwise. The world is not a perfect place...

    It's not that simple. The surgery is right for some and not for others. Like most things in life, it isn't black or white. It depends entirely on the person and what they are going through. To some, even having the wrong genitals can cause severe dysphoria, anxiety and depression. That also...

    Research that you've yet to provide once again. Once again proving that I can't take anything you say seriously.

    And I've yet to see this magical research that you keep referencing. Yet you continue to spew facts about it like you know what you are talking about.

    Further proof that you have no idea what you are talking about and that you have had honest interaction with zero transgender people.

    You are referring to drag queens. Most MTF transgender people pick a normal name that feels right to them.

    Because you have no clue what you are talking about. The fact that you would make a sweeping judgement about me based solely on the fact that I'm transgender says it all. It's called ignorance. That is quite obviously your choice to make. However, you also can't expect me to take you or...

    Interesting. I go to a therapist myself, but it's more for helping me cope with the fact that I am something that some people automatically judge and/or hate simply because I am transgender. But hey, it's a topsy turvy world. So what exactly would this psychological counseling entail, if you...

    What reparative therapy would that be?

    What research would that be? So I'm going to ask you the exact same question I asked of the OP. Are you telling me that without knowing me, my struggles, what I've been through, or anything about me, that I am mentally ill simply because I'm transgender?

    And you have the psychological backing to make these statements, how? Oh, that's right...you don't. I love how people are quick to throw around these sweeping judgments like they know what they are talking about. How many transgender people have you interacted with to come to this conclusion?

    To be fair, a lot of transition surgeries can be life or death. The rate of suicide among transgender people is absolutely staggering.

    I wouldn't expect someone who doesn't suffer from any kind of gender dysphoria to understand or empathize with someone, who is in anguish because they are in the wrong body, who would want to get that type of surgery to feel better and have a more comfortable life.
