There are many straight people that think gays are a mental illness too.
  Why is that OK but trans is not?  In any case, they should not be
doing anything to kids.  Many don't know what they want anyway.

Ed, I don't care if people want to "identify" as a can of Bush's Baked
Beans, a unicorn, Dolly Parton, a 1963 split - window Corvette, or
whatever...
And I don't care what some "straight people" think, "not my problem"...
I am  a"live and let live" guy, and I was discriminated against years
ago before there were legal protections for gays... in housing,
employment, etcetera...
But I never considered myself a "victim", I forged ahead...
As a gay person, there is not a *better* place in the world now to live
im than in the good ole' USA...
The "trans" movement "went off the rails" for me when the leftie medical
establishment started promoting "transition" for minors - this to me is
no better than what Nazi Dr. Mengele was doing when he medically
"experimented" on Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, homosexuals, and other
"undesirables" - these "DOCTORS" should be IN JAIL FOR LIFE...!!!
In 1972, the American Psychological Associaton removed "homosesexuality"
from it's "mental illness" category...
Yet in 2025, here ya go:
WIKI:
"Gender Dysphoria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM)
Gender dysphoria is a diagnosis included in the DSM-5, the standard
diagnostic manual for mental disorders in the United States. It refers
to a significant and persistent incongruence between an individual's
experienced or expressed gender and their assigned sex at birth..."
I've met hundreds of "trans" people in the last 40 years, only about 5%
AT MOST are "normally functioning", e.g. have careers, decent
relationships, fulfilling lives, etcetera... the rest are simply fucked
- up, these are not people I want to "interact" with... let alone
"accept"...
Don't wish them any harm, but please GET REAL...!!!
PS:  I am PLEASED as PUNCH that President Trump supports our female
athletes by banning "men in women's sports"...
IMNSHO "trans" people are also extremely MISOGYNISTIC...
