    I think we have also a different sight on the meaning of trans people because trans is a psychological problem with the mind
    ... Yeah, I think we do have quite a different point of view on that, too. Considering you just dropped an insult on my spouse and loads of people like them.

    If they have a problem, it's intolerant people insisting they have a problem.

    Trans is not a man who wants to act like a woman it is man who wants to be a woman and vice versa.

    Trans isn't even so cut and dry as "I want to be the opposite sex", but frankly, I don't feel like attempting to be your educator.

    oh please, it's called Gender Identity Disorder for a reason. Also excuse me if I might not fully grasp all these oh so complicated nuances because I am native in one of those oh so silly and inappropriate language that has only one word for sex and gender, but: isn't it the whole "gender is just a social construct" rhetoric that is transphobic as f? Or how can my GID and dysphoria be real if gender isn't real?

    As a trans-woman (post-everything, married, successful, happy), it is a mental disorder. The stigma of mental disorder is a completely separate issue, but GID /GD is still a mental disorder.

    The tricky thing is that the mental disorder is fixed by changing the unaffected body instead of the mental disorder. This is (I'm sure you know) because the gender in true-blue trans people is concrete. It's set, it is what it is. You cannot alter it, so after a long history of failures in trying to alter the mind, science has found that altering the body vastly improves quality of life, down to basic survival. The trans person, experiencing crippling GID / GD, the dysphoria will improve with cross-sex hormones.

    That being said, the whole trans-person thing is still difficult physically, and the mental baggage of a life paused before transition is still bad, but it gets better after the mental disorder is appropriately treated.
