She is transgendered, I don’t see a problem with that. It happens to some people in life, and when it does it’s unpleasant for everybody until they get themselves sorted. It is probably better for everybody concerned that she acts in the gender role she believes is appropriate

That is certainly one school-of-thought.

I know several transgendered people. One of them is a former member of Parliament — a very good MP, now retired. Before entering Parliament she was a mayor of one of our medium-sized towns.

I don’t think I’d describe any of the transgendered people I’ve met as mentally ill: they seem to function mentally in a very normal way.

IMO the medical profession needs to figure out what is happening and why and determine if it is normal or abnormal behavior, and whether or not it requires treating.

I used to believe that, of course it required treating because of course it was abnormal and an illness. Now I am not at all certain.
