Quote:I'll have that conversation. I think this man is in need of help I find it horribly sad that his mental illness is being celebrated and he will be unable to overcome what has caused him to not only lose his identity as a man but now made permanent physical changes that will further separate his mind from his body.


I don't think nature/ higher power ( whatever you believe in) makes mistakes. I don't think a person is born man with full functioning man parts and was really supposed to have woman parts so he has a women mind. I think something tragic happens or there is a case of abuse perhaps a chemical imbalance that causes these issues and instead of helping these poor people we say just be who you feel you should be and we all accept whatever you want to be. What if an adult decided to revert back to a toddler mentality would we buy him some pampers and say good for you! No he would be offered help to overcome whatever caused the break down.


I know this won't be popular that's fine i sympathize for this man, respect his freedom to as he will but wish he could over come his mental illness. Feel free to go back to congratulating him because we're all to afraid to call a spade when we see it that would be judgmental and make us all bigots.


For the record cause I know someone will ask that's not the same way I view homosexuals, transgender is a completely different topic.

I just think people should educate themselves more on the psychology of it before reaching any opinion:<a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/news/releases/transgender-kids-show-consistent-gender-identity-across-measures.html'>http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/news/releases/transgender-kids-show-consistent-gender-identity-across-measures.html</a>.


I really hate when people make random comparisons like you did with adults being children. It's just takes away from the actual topic.
