On the other side of that, accepting and endorsing it without truly understanding why it occurs and calling anyone who thinks it a mental disorder a bigot is not helpful either. It may very well be a mental illness. Or, sometimes shite just goes wrong in nature. We see it all the time, and many times we can't do anything to correct it. What's especially difficult about gender identity crises/disorder is that we are dealing with the body-mind connection. This is something science has never fully understood and many think we never will.

Yeah I understand what you're saying, and appreciate a response that actually took a little thought to compose. I guess I just look at it in this way: We may never truly understand the science behind everything. I also don't think it's a necessity to understand why something is the way it is in order to accept it and try a little harder to understand it from that person's point of view.

I don't understand exactly how the Iphone works, but I still use one. Of course we don't know exactly why a trans gendered person was born the way they were. In the end, I just don't feel the need to understand exactly why they are the way they are...mainly because we'll probably never know other than scientific hypothesis.
