It's subjective.

But it makes the most sense to go with whether it impedes a person's ability to function.

Out of the local box. = crazy

There's a lady whose front yard is cluttered with USA bric a brac.
In addition, she puts on Christmas from thanksgiving to ground hog day. If you walk by, a carol.plays. Neighbors hate her, some call her crazy.
She makes a 24 7 show of patriotism and seems genuine in her fanatic Christianity. Yells merry Christmas to me from 11/27 on.
She drives very slowly.
The carols seem pretty loud.
I'm.sure get neighbors are grinding their teeth about the 55th time they hear the carol playing.
Is she crazy?

A mistake? How could one prove it was a "mistake".
If a person wants to claim "transgender"... that is a choice. To each his own. Just don't push it on rest of world, expecting others to take part in this delusion.

the flow chart is really simple nowadays.


do i have an excuse for my failures OR a reason to claim victim status?

Yes. Then crow about it constantly to cover up my insecurities.

No. > I have a mental disorder, called _______.
it is the reason i am lazy, incapable, undependable, and unable to function as a normal member of society. you should feel pity for me and accept my personal deficiencies.





This isn't to say there aren't medically proven mental disorders that doctors rightfully diagnose for the unfortunate. Those people deserve all the support they can get.
My point is, nowadays everyone has one. And they are getting sillier by the day


The reason: we have created a society in America that now realizes there is hardly any benefit from working hard and walking a straight and narrow line as opposed to claiming victim status to leach off of others and the government. Without that built in safety net, you better believe alot of people with these ridiculous mental disorders could find a way to contribute to society and be independent.

No, that would be viewed as a positive personality trait by the medical world.

You proved the point of my question. How can one prove they are intended to be a sex other than that which they were born? It’s a choice driven by mental illness. You can’t “prove” anything to the contrary.

Transgenderism needs to be treated similarly to schizophrenia or DID
