[quote]A psychological state is considered a mental disorder only if it causes significant distress or disability. Many transgender people do not experience their gender as distressing or disabling, which implies that identifying as transgender does not constitute a mental disorder[/quote]Most experts will agree to this. The only reason why suicides and even murders are through the roof with trans individuals is simply because of the social stigmatization of being transgender. It's believed to be immoral, creepy, weird or gross. However this is simply not true and I characterize anyone who has driven a trans, gay or any other minority person to self harm as as bad as if they physically put their hands on them. Everyone deserves equality and everyone should be respected. Except the science deniers. Those people need help.
