Why is surgery to make the body conform to the mind acceptable, but psychological treatment to make the mind conform to the body unacceptable?

I can only assume these procedures will be covered by Obamacare.
Especially since these are problems of the mind to start with.
If I had some time to argue, I’d join in on the “discussion” over there, but I do not. I’ve argued with those people for years, and trust me, you simply cannot get through to them.. You ask them for proof, incontrovertible, of their claims, and they point you to websites that offer no proof.. Sure it all sounds good, and intellectual and all, but the fact of the matter is that there is NO, zero, nada evidence, scientific or otherwise, that identifies homosexuality, transgenderism as genetically based. When they say; well you must hate blacks too, or women, you can argue that blacks, and women cannot change their disposition, it is immutable. Their disposition is innate. Sexuality is behavior-based, much like which foods we enjoy, or not, outside of any basic instincts to procreate, we choose how, and with whom we do it.
It is not bigotry to continue a position in the absence of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary. It is not racist, it is not hatred, at least not on my part, it is the simple fact that the homosexual agenda is, and has been trying to politically redefine perversion for the last 40 years.. Homosexual sex, and transgenderism, is on the same level of alcoholism, and fetishism.
When they argue that; well, it doesn’t harm you, or your marriage, (A favorite of mine), you can agree, it does not harm you, or your marriage directly, in fact, it doesn’t harm any consenting adult. The problem however, is that, like smoking, or drinking alcohol, it isn’t the adult we need to worry about. Our prefrontal cortex is fully mature. It’s the little ones we need to protect from this insanity.. Also remember that fundamental societal changes happen over long periods of time, the measuring of their consequences is equally difficult. But by then it’s too late. The homosexual lobby understands this truism concerning their plight, one would do themselves, and their country a favor by NOT ever forgetting that one should never give in to what is observably, and demonstrateably inconsistent with human design.

clap,clap,clap
Good post. Homosexuality and transgenderism and all the assorted alphabet sexualities are disorders. If someone wants to proclaim their disorder as “normal/typical”, that is their business.
But to allow children to be raised in homes where the parents are intentionally male/male, female/female, etc., denies them their right to the best case child rearing environment- that of having a mother AND a father.
But libs don’t care about children. They only care about themselves.
see here is where you went wrong in the first place.
my name is not toots. it is mayhem. get it right.
second i am not carrying water for anyone. the fact is the glb pink mafia and commie idiots have tried to boil it all together and make it a depravity soup even though some ingredients do not belong. most transgender persons are NOT homo. yes they are sadly mentally ill. if they were treated properly they would not desecrate their temple and would in fact be much happier. however for whatever reason, the “establishment” of psych treatment for this disorder is to tell them they are ill because they are trapped in the wrong gendered body and surgical reassignment is the only way to “cure” them. this, in my opinion, is a tragic case of severe malpractice on the part of psychiatric practitioners. why blame the “she-males” for following doctors recommendation without realizing that the so called doctor is a quack who should be in prison. you, however, are helping the quacks, pinkos, and commies by continuing to put people with a mental illness in the same catagory with people who choose sexual depravity.
Agreed 100%. I know someone who went through the “transformation”. The “therapist” who helped “guide him through the journey” was so full of it that it was sickening. As you said, the rationalizations were ridiculous. All the underlying issues are still there, btw, completely untouched.
Amen to that!Also,a woman who”becomes”a man isn’t a man.This whole thing blows my mind.
