Is this a mental illness?

 No.12265

>>12264

Yes, obviously. Even the people here that are into that sort of thing agree that it's mental illness. They'd just prefer to be treated and cured instead of being shit on constantly because of retards like

Bruce Jenner and the SJW crew.

mental illness can be whatever you want it to be

read postmodernism

Either way it made me sick.

Yes, yes it is. And the video, let alone the whole idea of this, is absolutely disgusting.

I'm not going to watch the video so I'm going to assume it's about trannies.

>is wanting to mutilate yourself a symptom of a mental illness?

I don't understand how this is a question.

Their suicide rates are near 50% and people change back when they regret their decision. They realise they blamed their issue on their sex instead of dealing with it properly or it's confusion during puberty (teenagers are dumb, misunderstand their feelings and jump to conclusions). It's like saying your job is making you miserable, changing your job and realising you're still miserable.

Unfortunately politics is making it basically impossible for psychs and scientists to figure out a better way to help people with therapy and whatever else.

At the moment I would recommend people to try to solve the gender problem without sugery.

I think it's different however once it's possible to actually change the gender of human. I don't see any problems with sex change if you can't tell it's a dude.

Yep.

Psychology is getting hit harder than anything else is with all this liberal garbage.

Which sucks because they just want to help.

I remember something somebody said on halfchan's /pol/ way back and that neither side will like the truth about trannies. The liberals won't like that being a trannie is a mental illness and the rights won't like that allowing them to chop their dicks off is the best solution we have so far.

Also that post about liberals promoting this is more harmful than the people hating them and wanting them to get mentally better.

It's annoying and bizarre.

Tranny here. Yes it is.

>>12271

>Their suicide rates are near 50%

Yep, but the suicide rate for transexuals drops after transition, and even more after surgery. Still it is higher than the general population but not as crazy high as before.

>people change back when they regret their decision

I seem to remember like <1% regret their surgery and detransition.

>They realise they blamed their issue on their sex instead of dealing with it properly or it's confusion during puberty

That's a great theory there bud

>Unfortunately politics is making it basically impossible for psychs and scientists to figure out a better way to help people with therapy and whatever else.

People have been trying to figure this shit out for a while and still are trying to figure it out. There is no anti-science jew conspiracy lobby preventing scientists from doing their research, it's becoming clearer that gender is rooted in the brain (see David Reimer) and that it's easier to change the body to match the brain so that transsexuals can live a happier life.

Google 'trans suicide rate study' and check that PDF out. Note that the attempted suicide rate is lower for those who pass as the gender they present as, for those who live as stealth, for those who have acceptance from their parents, and for those who do not experience harassment for living how they choose.

Transwoman here, been on HRT for over three years.

Being trans *IS* a mental disorder. Its a fucked up situation where life is one big cruel joke, at best people accept you and then talk behind your back. Its a fantastic way to lose your friends and loved ones.

And lets face it, Ill never be a *real* woman. Ill never give birth to my child, Ill never have the experiences of womanhood. At best, we can simulate the experience as best as we can, but even the best Elvis impersonators aren't Elvis if you know what Im saying.

We commit suicide at the rates we do for a good goddamned reason. The vast majority of us realize that hey, those pills we get to take for the rest of our lives? They dont make you a woman, they just let you approximate one. But generally speaking, 100% of men arent women, so there you go.

I really wish there was a *cure* for me, not hormones. I wish there was therapy I could get that would make me comfortable being a man. But there isnt, so my best shot at happiness is being fucking crazy and doctors and therapists will applaud me for it.

Isnt that backwards? Is that how the health system works?

Im going to catch the bus soon, this life is terrible.


 No.12405

I honestly feel bad for trannies. They're mentally ill people in desperate need of help, but instead they get exploited and preyed upon by lefties who use these people to get pc-points and back pats for being oh so tolerant and open-minded.
