The literal definition of a mental disorder is a mental or bodily condition marked primarily by sufficient disorganization of personality, mind, and emotions to seriously impair the normal psychological functioning of the individual. Transgenders claim to be men trapped in a women's body or vice versa. This is clinically a mental disorder that society has now accepted. What's worse is that it is biologically impossible to have a sex change. So, people who are transgender basically think they are another sex and have no control. How is this not a mental disorder?

This absolutely nails it. I don't think Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner is a laughing matter. In fact, I view it as a serious mental disorder. The sooner we put aside the over political correctness of every sensitive issue and recognize the root of a real problem, the sooner we can unlock the path to solutions.

Edited by scuzzgolem: 8/28/2015 9:48:24 PMNot listed as a mental disorder by the DSM, which is actually where you find the literal definitions for a mental disorder. It is adorable that some random dude on the forums has an opinion on this subject but that means absolutely -blam!-ing nothing against the consensus of professional psychologists.

DSM states it as gender dysphoria.

Wrong.

How is being a transgender not a gender identity disorder? A woman can't grow a penis as a man can't bear children. Biologically we are born one way, and mentally we may be different. That is gender dysphoria.

There are symptoms associated with it. If you do not have those symptoms, you do not have it. Therefore, if you are transgender and do not have the symotoms associated with it, you do not have it. By your logic, all of us have depression because we get sad sometimes.
