Quote:I'm down with that. You Have the head size:brain size ratio covered.

 

 

See above.

 

So, it's OK to insult someone so long as they disagree with you? I just want to know if personal insults validate my argument.

 

Quote:Man, you know nothing about TG people. The AMA quit listing it as a mental illness a long time ago. People are BORN that way, feel the the way they do from their earlist memories.

 

 

Quote:People used to believe the world was flat and that people of color were inferior to white people....doesn't mean they were right.



Believing that transgendered people aren't mentally ill is not me being "politically correct"...

 

 

Quote:You're a psychologist now, or do you play one on tv?

 

 

Quote:You keep claiming that TG people are mentally ill...even after the medical world has declared it not to be an illness.

 

I don't know, or care, if it's a mental illness. The AMA is a poor defense for your argument. They change their opinions like the wind changes directions. Currently, they believe that obesity is a disease. That's not even the overwhelming opinion of doctors; its the opinion of the AMA. The AMA is nothing more than a watered-down political group with their hands in almost anything popular at the moment. Hell, they even have an opinion on global warming. To be more precise, no more than 30% of their members are physicians. If your defense is to rely on the opinion of the AMA, then you've already lost the argument. 

 

The world being flat and racial discrimination are irrelevant to the argument. Compare to different topics to this one doesn't suddenly support your argument. 

 

I fully believe that TG people should live as they please. I don't care how or why they are the way the are. It doesn't mean I'm willing to dismiss contrary evidence / opinions for the sole purpose of supporting that. Also, having a different opinion doesn't make you a bigot or prejudice in the same way that being gay or TG doesn't make you a pervert.
