If we're going to talk "genital mutilation" I feel obligated to point out that Moses was pro-circumcision.
What exactly does circumcision unto a holy faith have to do with sex reassignment?
The more your lot go off on tangents, making these sort of observations, the more it just makes your end look bad.
I don't need the bible to tell me to use mutilation as treatment is abusive to the mentally ill.
You'd better be more concerned about what Voldemort thinks. He looks more powerful..

He could use a nose job ... we should consult Moses about it...
So... you have years of education in the appropriate treatment of specific medical conditions? I've encountered plenty of Christians who tell me that treatment for depression isn't necessary, that if one is truly faithful they would never be clinically depressed and medication isn't useful for treatment of clinical depression and bipolar disorders. Who gets to interpret what is and isn't mentioned in the Bible as a reason to be for or opposed to something?
Again, exceptions are not the rule. I can tell if they are really male or female, even if they are cross dressed or had surgery and hormone treatments.
AGain, truth is not dictated by their own perception of themselves, or my perception of how they look. Truth existrs outside our perceptions, so chromosomes would dictate the matter whther we perceive their existence or not.
Again, I never made such a claim. I am just really opposed to mutilating mentally ill people.
There being no evidence for transgenderism is simply a fact. They pretty much just gave people what they wanted. If esteemed psychiatrists can come right out and say it, then that means something.
So... you have years of education in the appropriate treatment of specific medical conditions?
Nope, but I have empathy and don't want people being butchered.
That is factually incorrect. The current method of treatment is not the first one chosen. The approach that your "esteemed" psychiatrist wants to go back to the first, failed approach does say something. What it means that he came out and said something. It does not mean that he really does know what he is talking about. However, this portion of your post reaffirms that you do not know what you are talking about.
My point is that you assume that the truth is what you think it is.
Nice assumption that you will always know. Their are some tells because of hormonal effects from puberty. Some younger people are never going to have to suffer through the wrong puberty, so those tells won't be there.
Feelings don't determine reality.And we don't routinely examine chromosomes of people before going with what they "feel" about themselves anyway.
Well, it by definition is.Because you are certain that a) it is mutilation
... and b) we are just mentally ill....
I've been asking for evidence for about the past week going in and out of this subject.
There is none.
You all are apparently the ones who don't know what they are talking about. If it's so 'factually incorrect', surely you have a SINGLE fact to show that transgender isn't a myth.
You have not asked for any evidence as far as I have seen. Not once. Quote where you requested it please. All I have seen from you is declarations that there is no evidence. Since you have been provided evidence in other topics and completely ignored it, I saw no point in again providing evidence. You will wave it away, without consideration, because you have one guy with degrees and titles who chooses to believe as you do.
Why don't you address anything I've brought up about what your one "expert" has to say? I've made several points about him and your response is ....?
By your reasoning, you haven't responded to my points because you know your "expert" is completely wrong.
If a psychiatrist says there is no evidence- not in some fanaticism or rebellion against the field, but in plain recognizance and in front of all other psychiatrists- then there is no evidence.
It's as simple as that. There doesn't need to be evidence to support sex reassignment, just like there doesn't need anything for any other cosmetic surgery.
There only needs to be the desire, and *boom*.
That's all it was, and that's all it is. There is no evidence, the only thing you have have are brain scans of men who want to be women develop in the patterns resulting from their behaviors.
That is not evidence, the psychiatrist I presented would be aware of this- anybody with an inclination to proper science would be aware of this- it is not evidence. There is none.
On the issue of gender, it is so plain, I make no apologies for not delving it into further. I don't need to go all into it to prove the sky is blue. Such things are elementary.
My estimate was 90%.
Feelings don't determine reality.
Well, it by definition is.
Honest question: Why wouldn't you be mentally ill, like a schizophrenic?
You think things that are not true
it makes your life sadder and more difficult
and it is the exception and not the rule, meaning it is a deficiency not the norm.
I think it is assuredly mental illness, as real as my brother's schizophrenia. Doesn't mean I hate you or him, but we all have different problems. I am not about to call a problem normal.
If a psychiatrist says there is no evidence- not in some fanaticism or rebellion against the field, but in plain recognizance and in front of all other psychiatrists- then there is no evidence.

So if a psychiatrist says there is evidence, in plain recognizance and in front of all other psychiatrists, then there is evidence. Thank you. Case closed.
