Which of these best describes your views regarding transgender individuals?

Gender, unlike sex, is a social construct with little to no basis in human biology. So the obvious answer is number 4.

Well I would quibble with that. I'm pretty sure that though the means by one which expresses their gender is a construct, gender identity is rooted in biological reasons. When children with indeterminate genitals at birth have been raised as the opposite gender (including an infamous case of psychological mispractice) they often in adolescence display signs similar to Gender Dysphoria in trans individuals.

Anyway, my instinct is that I have little inclination to be thrown into an asylum or whatever (I have enough problems with self-esteem without having to wear hospital gowns all day :/ ) so I lean against the second option. The bathroom debate makes me cringe. Mostly at the GOP seeing as the average Republican congressmen s probably a sex predator themself, so it feels a bit like projecting.

Anyway to be more succinct gender dysphoria is a mental illness, and it should be treated the way psychologists working through empirical means (NOTE: not mouth breathing Breitbart columnists pulling conclusions from their anus) have deduced is best. Therefore ...

A mix of options 1 and 2.  To the extent it exists, it's obviously a mental disorder, but I still suspect that it is often the result of parents, teachers, or society telling kids in formative years that it is a possibility, which makes them internalize the feelings that they are the other gender, even though they are not.  But, it's not a real, legitimate thing, and changing the culture of that would go a long way.

If you want a better look at mental disorders, why don't you read your post history, idiot.
