when an entire political party makes their identity hating 1.6% of the population, of course its going to drive them to do crazy shite.

There is no way you are this stupid. I refuse to believe that.

Trans is already a mental issue. We only recently removed it from the list of mental illnesses.

When someone is that delusional it's pretty stupid to blame their extreme actions as being a reaction to people disagreeing with their lifestyle. By your standard, you are OK with Muslims who kill anyone making fun of Muhammed.

I am sure there are things about your life that a large segment of society thinks is absurd. Has it ever crossed your mind to kill kids because of that?

Until people like you quit making excuses for these sick individuals, we will never be able to have a serious conversation about getting them the mental help they desperately need.



Remember, there are no chicks with dicks. Only men with tits.

you must be one of those retards that says that being against child mutilation is hateful and transphobic.

The only children that get mutilated are the ones in these school shootings.

This is just a completely ignorant take.

Gender dysphoria is still listed as a mental issue

Meh...sort of. They watered it way down. I just didn't get into the technicalities of it.

Gender dysphoria has not been removed from the list of mental illnesses, but it has undergone changes in how it is categorized. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which is published by the American Psychiatric Association, gender dysphoria is still included as a diagnosis. However, it is framed differently from how it was in earlier versions of the DSM.

In the previous edition, the term "gender identity disorder" was used, which stigmatized the experience by implying that there was something inherently wrong with the person's gender identity. In the DSM-5 (published in 2013), the term was changed to "gender dysphoria" to focus on the distress or discomfort that can arise from a mismatch between one's gender identity and assigned sex at birth, rather than the identity itself being pathological.

The change reflects an important shift: gender identity itself is no longer considered a mental illness. Rather, gender dysphoria refers to the distress or impairment that may result from the incongruence between one's gender identity and physical sex characteristics. This reclassification aims to reduce stigma and encourage more compassionate care for people experiencing gender dysphoria.

In addition to the DSM-5, the World Health Organization (WHO) also revised its classification in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), where "gender incongruence" is now categorized under conditions related to sexual health rather than mental health. This change further reduces the pathologizing of gender diversity and shifts the focus to supporting individuals in ways that help manage their distress.

So, while gender dysphoria is still a recognized condition in medical classifications, it is framed in a way that emphasizes the distress and medical needs of individuals, rather than labeling their gender identity itself as a disorder.

Its downplaying how mentally ill these people really are so that society will look the other way when what society should be doing is seeking to get these people help.

And guess what, puberty blockers also count as child mutilation, and they are being handed out like candy if your doc hears the magic words.

Over 5,700 American children had trans surgery between 2019 and 2023

Ok, confirmed with JAMA.

Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study includes data from 2016 to 2020 in the Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery Sample and the National Inpatient Sample. Patients with diagnosis codes for gender identity disorder, transsexualism, or a personal history of sex reassignment were identified, and the performance of GAS, including breast and chest procedures, genital reconstructive procedures, and other facial and cosmetic surgical procedures, were identified.

Main Outcome Measures Weighted estimates of the annual number of inpatient and outpatient procedures performed and the distribution of each class of procedure overall and by age were analyzed.

Results A total of 48 019 patients who underwent GAS were identified, including 25 099 (52.3%) who were aged 19 to 30 years. The most common procedures were breast and chest procedures, which occurred in 27 187 patients (56.6%), followed by genital reconstruction (16 872 [35.1%]) and other facial and cosmetic procedures (6669 [13.9%]). The absolute number of GAS procedures rose from 4552 in 2016 to a peak of 13 011 in 2019 and then declined slightly to 12 818 in 2020. Overall, 25 099 patients (52.3%) were aged 19 to 30 years, 10 476 (21.8%) were aged 31 to 40, and 3678 (7.7%) were aged12 to 18 years. When stratified by the type of procedure performed, breast and chest procedures made up a greater percentage of the surgical interventions in younger patients, while genital surgical procedures were greater in older patients.

I don't agree that should be a thing.

Given the obvious lack of tech literacy shown by the shooter, I actually believe the shooter is a biological female.

Is this the shooter?

Seven trans shootings in three years is very disproportionate to that and it’s something in the ideology that is doing this.

Anyone that argues against this has an agenda.
