Also think about it for a second, have you ever heard any bonafide scientific proof? That proof could shut down any transgender debate. It just doesn't exist. No peer reviewed scientifc study has said this shit is accurate. If I'm wrong someone please correct me.
It's a mental illness. The suicide rates pre and post transition speak volumes. 40%. Now a so called scientist is peddling this and being nominated for an award for it, an award show millions of people will watch.

Honestly, I'm not even sure you know what your grip is other than having a negative view of transgender people and the transgender community because they're different.
Also, if "there's no proof", then in turn how you can say with absolute fact it's a "mental illness"? That sword cuts both ways. (edit: Beni beat me to the point there) But one could argue being seen as mental patient and largely looked down upon by society could/would affect a person's self-image to the point they consider suicide because they're different than what society calls normal. Do you think if society viewed you as a turd day in and day out, it wouldn't in time affect you mentally?
Just look at your attitude towards transgender people. Do you honestly think that is conducive to transgender people being happy? Now multiply that attitude by a factor of 'society wide'. See a possible problem?
Except in society, being mean to a transgender will get you ridiculed. I don't think it's wrong to call a mental illness a mental illness.
You are literally imagining yourself to be something you are not. Rob, if I imagine I'm Superman, am I mentally ill? No wait, I can imagine whatever I want. But if I demand society recognize me as Superman, I'm crossing a line, yes?
If not, *you* conform to me, then. You treat me as I demand, yes?

Hey Adam by all means, show concrete scientific proof of the stuff. I'll then bow to your superior knowledge.
I'm not even joking. If there is valid proof I need to change my views.

Yet transgender people largely get shat on. eg You right now.
Agreed. What is your proof that transgender people are suffering form a real mental illness?
Faulty analogy. We know Superman is a fictional alien character, so imagining yourself to be Superman is silly, unless you're a child playing. Now the mind and how it works is both real and more complex than "I want to be Superman".
Do you disagree with the quote of me he posted? Just curious. I just think cops are expected to essentially be a jack of all trades. But that is not the training they get.

Do we not also know people born with dicks are men?

I was going by the argument you presented. That we KNOW Superman isn't real. We also know if you have a dick you aren't female, no matter what your feelings tell you.

If people are so complex, why can't they believe they are an alien?

Sex and gender aren't the same thing broski, people who are transgender are aware of what sex they are, but that doesn't mean they identify with the corresponding gender, which is a mental rather than physical construct.
Intersex people are super rare though, right? I mean an intersex person is the closest one can come to a legitimate question of what gender they are.
