@1thousandways You believe that when someone tells you that they don't care about what you think of them it makes them new age? Hrm...

I see that the irony of your phrasing while denouncing smugness is completely lost on you. Hopefully others will enjoy it.

It's a purely psychological condition and not biological one you say? Please cite. After a century of study, no therapeutic technique is yet known to cure transsexuals. Please share this therapy system you claim to have discovered!

@ehipassiko Ok, in response to your first sentence drop the new age psychotherapy babble - it's very nineties. Third sentence; don't tell me what to do, there was nothing wrong with my use of the word spectacle. Fourth and fifth sentences; I guess it is a crippling medical condition but more specifically it is a crippling psychological condition, and as such is not best addressed by denying biological fact which is what people who have sex changes are doing.

@1thousandways I support you in choosing to hold whatever perception of me you feel you need to hold. What you think about me is none of my business. However, look up the word "spectacle" and using critical thinking, review how you've used it to connote an explicit tone. Watching people address a medical condition that has crippled them their entire life is always enjoyable to see. The question is, why do you enjoy standing in the way of people addressing crippling medical conditions?

[1thousandways]

@ehipassiko Well I don't appreciate your smugness and pomposity. People like you always talk about objective reasoning without applying any yourself. Have you ever asked yourself why the spectacle of men trying to turn themselves into women gives you such pleasure?

[ehipassiko]

@1thousandways Thank you for admitting that what you wrote is merely your subjective observations and opinions that are not based on actual objective reason. I fully support your right to speak you mind even if I disagree and I really appreciate the refreshing honesty in your reply!

[1thousandways]

@ehipassiko No, that's not my argument. My argument is above, what you are talking about are my fervently held opinions, which in my original comment, were mixed in with my argument. Actually it's probably more of an observation than an argument.

[ehipassiko]

@1thousandways So, your argument is that everyone who doesn't agree with you are idiots and therefore your premise is correct? My god... who can argue with logic like that?

[34carrots]

Whatever! transgender is not a mental disorder! its NORMAL! Society is just full of ignorance and fear of great change. so stop hating! and start loving transgender people. their just being themselves.

@1thousandways ,, I am glad you took the time to reply. Dialog is always good even thou I disagree with you. I look at people for what they bring to the table of life as net contributors. I do not look at them for anything but what the give back to society. Good luck and peace

@Jenna08848 ... How exactly is this a wonderful day for the human race? This person is mentally disordered as - it sounds - are you. The obsession, of women like you, with homosexuality, trans-sexuality, and the general emasculation of Western society is moronic. It is not ethically correct, it will not make your world a better place. This is trans-humanism; a very dangerous belief system; a belief system held by the most mindless, thoughtless of politically correct idiots.
