I have to say I'm very confused about what your question is... and I don't think it's just me.

View original postCan someone please describe for me the difference between self-identification and a mental health issue? What are the differences between the two? How can one be characterized as one, as opposed to the other?
I could be completely misunderstanding you here, but by 'self-identification' are you referring to people who are physically male but identify as female, or the other way around? And then you're asking how that's different from a 'mental health issue' - with the next problem being, how do you define 'mental health issue'? Doesn't everyone have at least some kind of 'mental health issues', or were you thinking of something more specific? They would likely be more inclined to argue that they have a physical issue, though - changing their body to fit their mind is possible to a large extent even if this is controversial to some, the other way around might be more of a challenge.

Mind over body might've been more apt. I believe I did answer your question actually.

That takes us right back to body vs mind, doesn't it?

So do tell me what in fact the purpose of our discussion is, then?

That's true - doesn't change the issue as such but certainly there's intolerance on that side too. *NM*
