It's hard to believe thant anyone can be as willfully ignorant as you: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150213112317.htmSome, if not all of the people you mention have codes for a mental disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5 but transgender is not there. Your opinion is not a respected academic one. In other words, you are wrong. Sorry.I demonstrated how such an opinion as yours is at odds with the American Psychiatric Association. But please yourself.If by "normal" you mean a statistical norm, then No; most people are happy enough being their assigned gender. On the other hand, if by "normal" you mean that it naturally occurs, due to nature, then Yes; there is a percentage of people who identify with the gender other than assigned to them by anatomy.
I don't believe it is normal. It is a mental disorder as is alcoholism or drug addiction, or bipolar, or depression or a host of other disorders.
And I would have thought that after citing the same thing over and over again that I really do accept that view nor do I have to follow that view. There are many people that I believe are mentally off. Pedophiles, rapists, sadists, bipolar, schizophrenics, sex addiction, drug addiction, alcoholism, smokers, people that enjoy extreme risks and on and on. If a group of doctors that sit on a board somewhere don't agree with me, then I am good with that. My studies seem to support the theory I have.
The facts I present are this: 1) If you're born a male, you're a male and can't be a female because you think so. 2) Same for someone being born a female not being a male because she thinks so.
Anything beyond that, whether you live a lie or enable one, proves you have a mental disorder.
