Is it normal that i think trans people are disturbed and need help?

While this may not sound like a decent question to ask, is it normal I feel this way? I understand homosexuals (I'm gay to an extent myself) but I don't understand Trans people and I think they're disturbed individuals that need counseling and help to learn that who they're born as is something to cherish, not dislike and yearn to "change it". No doctors should ever go through with "changing" a person's sex. No matter how many surgeries and medications they take to become the "opposite sex" they'll still be the males and females they were born as. Trans folk are not only mutilating and damaging their bodies, but they're also lying to themselves. It's really sad. :(

    Bullshit, who are you to decide what people should or should not do with their bodies? Transsexuality is an issue for these people, yes, but getting gender reassignment is a perfectly fine solution if they want that. What you think about it is not of anyones concern.
    What, in your mind you just want to teach everyone to just be happy with the status quo and conform with the standards of society, and all is good? Get down from your high horse, real life isn't that simple.

    It's not normal for you to think it's abnormal. Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean it's wrong!

    why would you call them the gender their born as when they might of gotten bottom operation? female to male trans can literally grow dicks from their clitoris, although the technology right now isn't amazing and usually the penis ends up smaller than average.

    i'm not too knowledgeable on how male to female trans have bottom surgery, but apparently they slice the penis and make an incision that connects to the bowel (so they can pee out of the new vagina) once it's removed then with left over skin they make it look like a vagina but i might be wrong on some parts bc i've never really studied it.

    would you still call a trans person with a functioning penis a female? i doubt it.

    Society will one day look back in horror, having encouraged these young people to mutilate their bodies. It's not wrong to say they need help, because happiness starts by accepting yourself for who you are.

      Alternate theory: Society will not give a shit about the personal decisions of barely 0.1% of people, that affect nothing but their own life.

        Transgenderism is the embodiment of a host of important issues that affect 100% of us. Particularly, masculinity and femininity. What does it mean to be masculine in 2016? What does it mean to be feminine? Can we accept there are stark, unequal and very natural differences between boys and girls, men and women?

        Gender dynamic is huge, and it'll be interesting to see if transgenderism becomes the bridge too far. My guess is that it will be, and that our children will look at it as a mental problem meant to be helped, not encouraged.

          There are differences, obviously. But some of them are arbitrary social constructs. And these should not pose as barricades for people who want to express their individuality. If someone thinks that (s)he'd be better off as the other gender, then that is no one's business and not a thing to criticize. I also think that it is respectable that some people challenge the concepts of masculinity or femininity, because it shows that some limits, biological or social, can be overcome.

            It is true that someone wishing to be transgendered is not my business. It is also true that someone trying to hang himself is not my business either. But I would not give the latter a noose and help him tighten it. I'd be more likely to try to talk him out of the idea.

            Masculinity and femininity are concepts that have been challenged for decades. Instead I think they need to be better understood in modern context, embraced and celebrated. It seems as if now society discourages manly men and girly girls, for a trend towards some miserable in between.

            Look at the depression rates and risk of suicide among transgenders. They aren't killing themselves because of what bathroom they have to use. They need help, not encouragement.

      Maybe they've accepted who they are and that is a person of the opposite sex and want their exterior to match their interior.

      If that's who they are happy being what is it to us to say otherwise.

        Accepting 'who you are' is different than accepting 'what you think ought to be'.

        You don't send an asian kid who wants to be black to get his skin pigmented. You tell him there's no shame in being asian, but that he has all the right to pursue and enjoy black culture, music and whatnot. Just like any guy has the right to pursue femininity. That doesn't mean we should encourage him to chop his bits off, or to take dangerous hormone drugs.

          I'm guessing you think gay people should learn to be happy living as heterosexuals.

            No, because I think gay people are born gay.

          Geez... wheres your sense of adventure? Just cos you don't want to whack off your bits doesn't mean others shouldn't have the right to mutilate themselves.

          And whats that going on in your profile pic? Are you a furry? Are your panties in a twist becos ppl make fun of your 'fursona'?

          And before you get all bent and come at me sideways I'm just kidding.

    In other news we had a MtF trans person ejected from our venue today becos 'he' used the womens restroom. Ah, the bible belt so accepting of all ppl regardless of there gender dysphoria.

    But I'll add if your going to wear a mini skirt you really should at least shave your legs and probly your face as well. And maybe learn how to apply makeup. And that face... wow not even close to passable as female.

    Isn't it a Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times. Here they are, very interesting indeed.

    It's a shame that these mentally ill freaks are touted by the Jew controlled media as being "brave".
