Either all of LGBT is a mental deviation/disorder, or it isn’t, I don’t know why people want to beat around the bush on this.
Only one of these four letters wants to mutilate their own body. While gender affirming care including surgery is the correct path for some, being trans has literally nothing to do with being gay or lesbian. The acronym is simply a marriage of convenience.
And the other three want to do acts that are not in alignment with normal behavior.
I think the real question is…whether you think it’s a mental illness or not, do you find being trans as morally wrong or not? It’s not impacting anyone else and very well not them (if you bring up suicides, well let’s bring up LGB suicides as well, see how that logic works?)
Is it something that needs correcting because it is morally wrong, or is it just a deviation that is neutral? That’s up to you to decide, I don’t care how you feel either way.
And don’t use the “mutilating your body” crap, are people with tattoos now mentally ill?
