    After a lot of reflection and watching this video, I've come to the conclusion that medicalized gender transition for individuals who suffer from the pysciatric condition known as gender dysphoria causes more problems for the vast majority of patients than it solves. I have no contempt and feel no ill will towards trans people or people with gender dysphoria, but doctors encoraging patients suffering from this pyciatric condition are doing their patients a diservice. I'm really starting to think this proceedure will be looked back upon like the lobotomy.

      @@crapversereturn5800 I didn't know that we could decide what we wanted to be. I'm going to be a rhino. If someone can choose what gender they want to be, I'm going to be a rhino because I like rhino's and clearly I get to choose what I want to be. I think someone who realizes that saying you're a gender you weren't assigned at birth is the same as saying you're a blade of grass deserves a voice.

    Even in your absurd example, we still won't start calling the cat a human being. And we won't surgically try to make the cat into a human and give it human hormones.

    You know if you really think about it, saying you're the opposite gender that you were assigned at birth is literally the same as saying you're a bottle of glue. It may be closer, it would be better to look at a horse and call it a zebra than it would be to look at a horse and call it a hippopotamus, but you're still calling it something it's not. Just like, transgenders are calling themselves something they're not. If someone said, "I'm a ceiling fan." Everybody would look at them like they're mentally insane and would insult them left and right. But if you were born a man, saying you're a woman or that you don't have a gender is literally no different.
