View original postAnd that we accept "abnormal" behavior and bodily changes of all sorts without trying to fix people, unless we are worried about serious danger to self/others. Otherwise, we/doctors/society only get to have an opinion or a different method of treatment if the person feels this alternate self-identification is wrong/unhealthy for themselves.

View original postThere is a remarkable difference between someone's behavior (small or even large scale) and transgenderism. And there is an even bigger difference between body changes (such as piercings, tattoos, etc.) and transgenderism.


View original postAgain, everything people are describing is that their "alternate self-identification is wrong/unhealthy for them"....as if their own judgement on the situation can override the reality of the situation.

I'm not saying that - I addressed your point without so much getting into my own view. (Which is that our natural world is crazy as all get out, and I'm not comfortable saying that there is only one way for a human to be "right or healthy".)

What I was saying is that if YOU or others think it's wrong (why I used quotes), the answer is still the same for me. If allowing someone to be transgender, transexual, etc is what makes that person happy, who am I to say that's not the proper "treatment" anyway? I don't care about someone's anatomy unless they are trying to do something to me with it, so I don't care how they define it.

Edit: also, quick question, are you meaning transexual when you say transgender? Gender is not necessarily attached to physiology.

Def: the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones).

I have to say I'm very confused about what your question is... and I don't think it's just me. Legolas - 07/03/2017 12:04:27 AM 762 Views
Yes, I'm talking about... Jeordam - 07/03/2017 05:03:18 PM 781 Views

Mind over Matter? Jeordam - 07/03/2017 09:06:53 PM 745 Views
Mind over body might've been more apt. I believe I did answer your question actually. Legolas - 07/03/2017 10:41:01 PM 838 Views
Let's be clear.... Jeordam - 07/03/2017 11:17:02 PM 717 Views

Well that's the crux of the topic isn't it.... Jeordam - 08/03/2017 05:48:50 PM 656 Views
That takes us right back to body vs mind, doesn't it? Legolas - 08/03/2017 07:13:32 PM 711 Views
Well that would be the difference... Jeordam - 08/03/2017 08:54:59 PM 762 Views
So do tell me what in fact the purpose of our discussion is, then? Legolas - 08/03/2017 09:40:09 PM 708 Views
What can I possibly say? Jeordam - 09/03/2017 05:45:54 PM 715 Views
