Transsexuality is a mental disorder and should be treated as such but instead people are celebrating Transpeople and ugh

No. 38986

Someone on 8chan had a similar view on transexuality and compared it to this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2366260/Body-Integrity-Identity-Disorder-Chloe-Jennings-White-58-disown-legs.html

A woman feeling like she is actually physically disabled mentally or something like that, and should be allowed to have surgery to make her actually disabled.

I don't have much views on the subject, I usually think the people are just confused.

No. 38994

>>38986
My unpopular opinion is that this is probably a very similar condition but should be treated with the same amount of respect. I think this woman should have the right to amputate or paralyze her legs, just as transgendered people should have the right to remove and replace their genitals. Just because someone has a mental condition doesn't mean they shouldn't be treated properly. If it makes them happier, why not be ok with it?

Sure, some portion of them are just confused or following trends, but this woman has had this obsession all her life. Let her mind match up with her body. There may never be a way to treat these issues in the brain itself, so go with the next best option, as long as their life isn't threatened in the process.

No. 39005

>>38994
Yeah, I agree with this.

A person here (possibly more, idk) made the argument that we get ana girls therapy, don't let them starve themselves, so why do the same thing with trans? The thing is, trans people don't hurt anyone by being trans and if they want to change their body surgically, isn't not going to kill them. It's a mental disorder, for sure, but extensive plastic surgery doesn't hurt anyone (if they go about it safely, obviously). Allowing ana to starve herself rather than forcing her to go through therapy or change her diet does hurt and eventually kill her, though.

Allowing someone to become disabled like in >>38986 technically hurts the woman who wants her legs amputated, but not in a way that would cause her to die. It would just make her life harder. But that's her choice, much like trans people.

There's not one easy treatment for all mental disorders. You kinda have to take them case by case. It's not as if trans people don't have to undergo extensive therapy before transitioning (though I know some people fake it, but such is life) anyway.

Because they'll never truly be the gender they want to be, yeah, but the difference is allowing someone to do what they want to with their life and THEN make the decision to kill themselves vs allowing someone to do something like starve themselves and accidentally kill themselves, as most anas don't want to die, they just want to be thin, for instance, or feedees don't want health problems and death, they just want to be huge.

I think you should be free to do whatever you want with your life, even end it yourself, but I think allowing someone to continue down a path that will inevitably kill them when they might not want to die is wrong. It's a fine line of course.

>>39022
How do you go about "healing" someone who feels they were born in the wrong body? You can't. There's no logical way to do it. You can only talk to someone like that so much and offer so many drugs.

Why are you putting words in my mouth? Usually, I think people who want to kill themselves should be permitted to, as long as they've had a long time to seriously think about it (at least 2-3 years) and talk about it.

People should be free to do what they want with themselves.

>No, science/medicine whatever wasnt invented to satisfy but to HEAL people, ok ?

What happens when it's impossible to heal them? If someone is gay, you can't make them straight with science or medicine. If someone is trans, you can't make them cis with science or medicine.

If those things were possible, my view might change.

The next best option to "correcting" their brain is letting them do what makes them content.

Eh , ever heard of ""therapy"" ? We also send aneroxic persons to teraphy and their desire to be a size 0 isn't simply becoming "numb"but they dissapear slowly until these people are HEALED.


Also transexual people arent born in the wrong body, theres nothing wrong with their body - their brain is simply telling them that. Thats why it is a MENTAL disorder.


Also let's do an analogy : If I would tell you that I was born in the wrong race would you really think that my race is the problem ? Let's say I always felt like an asian person , and then I'd go to the doctor and get monolids and an asian-like nose and I'd change my name to "Wang Lee" .

We will never be able to find out how to properly heal transsexual people if we keep encouraging them to undergo hormone treatment and transitions - because they are so brave and totally normal !

Yeah, I've heard of therapy. Have you ever been to therapy? It doesn't do shit for some people. You can't talk it out. My remark about becoming numb refers to drugs, not therapy. Drugs eventually don't work anymore.

Most anorexic girls do no recover, so I'm not sure who told you that. They don't heal. They relapse or switch to binge eating. Their therapy only exists really to keep them alive. But that was my point – "therapy" for this kind of BDD should really only interfere enough to keep someone alive if they are unintentionally killing themselves or if dying is a side effect of their actions. Otherwise it's probably better to allow people to change their body to their ideal, whether that involves changing genders or just liposuction and new boobs.

The reason transracial isn't a thing is because it's unaccepted and considered offensive (see the case with Rachel Dolezal), but I definitely believe that if it were more accepted, people would come forth with it. Actually, people DID come forth with it after the Dolezal incident. Again, I don't have a problem with getting surgery to look like your ideal self, but of course THIS particular transition would be considered offensive to many so people speak out about it and it will probably never become acceptable. You can see people like Caitlyn Jenner getting flack because she did not live the experience of a woman, so she really has no idea what it's like to grow up as a woman. I personally consider her a woman now, but others would not for this reasons. This is the type of dialogue that would come up over and over with transracial individuals: "you have no idea what it's like to grow up black, so you're not really black." I don't think transracial will ever be accepted for this reason.

>transexual people arent born in the wrong body, theres nothing wrong with their body

- their brain is simply telling them that.
You're right, that's literally the definition of a mental disorder, and I never once claimed it wasn't. I feel like it's all an extension of BDD.

I also don't think it's nonsense, and I think it's pretty ignorant to refer to it as nonsense. These are all mental disorders, but the way to treat it isn't just pretending it's not a real problem and forcing medication and therapy, because that won't do anything. I feel that you didn't really read my comment.

I do think that trans people are being celebrated too much, but I think it's just because people are doing it to feel better about themselves and still don't completely understand it.

Ok,that's cute - and totally false.

With treatment, about sixty percent (60%) of people with eating disorders recover
BUT only 1 in 10 women with eating disorders RECEIVE treatment. Only 35% of people that receive treatment for eating disorders get treatment at a specialized facility for eating disorders.

> therwise it's probably better to allow people to change their body to their ideal, whether that involves changing genders or just liposuction and new boobs.


Plastic surgery and transitions arent the same thing, people who undergo plastic surgery want to look better while transpeople just want to look like the opposite sex. No transexual person would undergo a transition just because it looks better. If woman had Horns coming out of their forehead transexual persons would also want to have them.

Also the suicide rate of people who undergo plastic surgery isn't higher than people who dont.

I don't think transracial will ever be accepted for this reason.


You missed my point. My analogy shows that being "transracial" is the exact same nonsense as being "transsexual".
It's a delusion. When anyone else wants to mutilate their body beyond repair because they've convinced themselves it's how they're "Really meant to be" we diagnose them with a mental illness. Everyone always says it's a problem with the body not matching up with the brain, but it's not. It's a problem with the brain thinking something is wrong with the body. Why treat the body, especially when the treatment is nowhere near ready to be done to people; it's a fucking travesty of a medical procedure, when you should treat their brain?

you are born with a certain set of biological parts. you can be male, female, or intersex. if you choose to convert genders, all you are doing is confirming gender stereotypes and mutilating your body in the process.

There's no way to cure or stop most mental illnesses, genetic disorders or disabilities (Yet) treatment is about giving the person a way to manage their illness, not enable their delusions and allow themselves to fuck up their bodies irreparably.
Sad thing is tons and tons of research on sex differences, race and so on can't even be published, regardless of how true they are, because people throw massive shitfits about it.

>But the way to treat it isn't just pretending it's not a real problem and forcing medication and therapy


How is forcing someone to take medication and see a therapyst not the aknowledge of someone's mental disorder ??!

Also with nonsense I mean the acceptence or celebration of transexuality, not transexuality itself. Sorry if it sounded like that.

>I do think that trans people are being celebrated too much, but I think it's just because people are doing it to feel better about themselves


And that would be fine if they would celebrate their VICTORY over their transexuality instead of Transexuality itself like aneroxic people tend to do.

See I'm not saying that Transexuality isn't a big deal or that it isn't hard for people who have to cope with it - These people have a hard time but telling them that being transexual is fine isn't helping in any way because persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population.These findings suggest that sex reassignment, although slightly alleviating gender dysphoria,isnt suffice as treatment for transsexualism,
