World Health Organization Officially Says Being Transgender Is Not A Mental Illness
flscience ^ | 6/20/18 | Madison Dapcevich

As people around the world don rainbow swag in celebration of International Pride, the World Health Organization (WHO) has come out with an announcement of its own.

For the first time since 1992, the organization issued a major revision to its international manual of diagnoses and, among other things, a major shift in the way transgender people are treated. The 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) reframes “gender identity disorder” as “gender incongruence”, moving it from a mental health disorder to an issue of sexual health. Codes issued by the ICD are used by countries to determine where to invest resources as well as how to set certain insurance billing standards.

When I was 7 my Dad bought me a pair of ice skates, and a puck and hockey stick. He turmed me loose on the lake in Van Courtland Park in daBronx and I “self idenditied” as Rod Gilber of the NY Rangers. In little league whenever I was at bat I’d self identify as Willie Mays (not only was I trans racial, but being left handed I was trans dexterous) As a young hot rodding punk when I tore up the streets in my 68 Dodge Charger I self identified as Richard Petty. Unfortunately the cops did not find that the least bit amusing.

"Wait till they get to be 50."

Exactly. The costume party will be over. The makeup, the hair color, the tight fitting yoga pants will be a thing of the past. They will sit in their dark corners, alone, without sons and daughters and a wife; thinking they wasted their entire life living a fraud.

And the medical community wonders why the general public trusts them less than they used to.

Wait till they get to be 50.
Many of these "frozen vegetables" will be lucky to make it to 40. If the trans remorse doesn't get to them how many will end up with life threatrening conditions as a result of theses operations. Along with being pumped up with more estrogen and/or testosterone than their bobies were NATURALLY designed to handle, as well as the meds administered some of which have potentially nasty carcinogenic side effects. I can just envision "A very special Lifetime presentation", remembering Jazz. There's a reason Johns Hopkins no longer does these procedures. Medical ethics? Or do they see the writing on the wall? I can just see class actions filed against the quack therapists who seduced these lost souls and the screwed up parents of the "trans kids" into going through with it, as well as the Drs, hospitals and the evil big pharma. These class actions will make the asbestos and tobacco suits look like child's play. And the same activist lawyers making the big $$$ fighting tooth and nail for trans rights will be the same shysters making a bigger killing filing these suits. Follow the money. Always follow the money.

As a group, do people who have cancer live as long as people who do not have cancer. Is cancer a disease?

As a group, do people with coronary artery disease live as long as people who do not have coronary artery disease? Is coronary artery disease a disease?

As a group, do LGBTQIAPKs live as long as normals? Is LGBTQIAPK a disease?

Pretty sure my General Psych book says the opposite.

The psych books will be rewritten, as they were for homosexuality, in deference to political pressure. A lie is being institutionalized. Won't change the reality though.

Wait a minute!! I think I am a Doberman Pinscher, and when I am alone in the house I make choo choo train noises. When in bed with my wife I make battlefield noises, so I think all this makes me well balanced.

Oh darn, I forget this is Thursday. On Thursdays I re-identify as a Black man and run through stores grabbing free stuff.

Perhaps what we see now is a glimpse of Hell without the heat.

Isn’t it odd that these politicized ‘science’ organizations always just happened to come out with their ‘finding’ during this month?

People become delusional. Many pick up the delusions that society floats before them. Remember, delusions are seamless when they are full blown. The woman who thinks she is the Queen of England, remembers that she was a princess when young. When the delusion is tested, you went to PS 31, she will provide an explaining delusion to keep the delusional state intact.

This is insane.
If someone has a body identity disorder and wants to cut off a leg to look right, fit the warped mental image, we admit it is insane.
But if they think they’re the opposite sex, let’s give them hormones and mutilate the sex organs to fit the warped mental image, no, nothing’s wrong.
All approved by liberals who think that if we say you can change gender by changing your mind, dress and license or via massive surgery, it proves gender differences are irrelevant and feminism wins.
