Is being transgender a mental illness? WHO classification system suggests it is
STAT ^ | 3 Jun, 2016 | HELEN BRANSWELL

t is, perhaps, a peculiar fact involving an obscure medical text, but it is one that is now taking on outsized importance: The World Health Organization, in a compendium of conditions and diseases, lists being transgender under the umbrella of mental illness.

The WHO publishes a standardized coding system used around the globe to classify medical conditions, for research purposes and health-care billing. In the document, being transgender is currently included in a section with kleptomania (the overwhelming impulse to steal), trichotillomania (the compulsion to pull out one’s own hair), and pedophilia (a preference for having sex with children).

Mental illness that is usually tied to horrendous abuse as children....that’s why the ‘movement” rails so hard against treating them - if enough are treated, it will come out how sick and perverted they become and infect others with the same abuse they suffered.

I’ve often wondered about the homo vs. lesbo dynamic.

What creates a homo? What creates a lesbo? Is the damage to them at the same level, or does one experience noticeably more harm than the other? Do societal expectations play into the outcomes?

It is a fascinating field of study, that yeah, will never see the light of day.

Just being a homosexual is a mental disease. The wearing ladies’ clothes is just icing on the crazy cake.

Know of one gay guy who was molested by a neighbor. The molester told the child that he was a girl, so the boy played with dolls and other girl things. Young man died from AIDS just when he we going straight.

I bet his sister was molested,too. She became a lesbian.

The other one I knew who died from AIDS came from a broken home. The mother remarried and gave the new son the same name as her gay son. Messed up!

Religious fundamentalism could soon be treated as mental illness

True for lesbians also.

Molested by men, usually.

People who suffer from it deny reality in favor of their fantasies. That’s delusional behavior, so it’s unquestionably a mental disorder.

I suspect that transgender people are victims of a combination of the trauma of an unhappy upbringing and LGBT brainwashing. So while I will agree that transgender people have mental issues, I question if their problems are caused by their environment as opposed to having a congenital mental problem.

In fact, transgender people are probably confused about their sexual identy as a consequence of indoctrination as much as Muslims are evidently indoctrinated from an early age to be desensitized to violence.

In addition to being a mental illness, it is certainly also an unnatural moral depravity, as is all homosexuality. See Romans 1, etc.
