Actually, even sharing the podium with a mentally ill fraud is having glory stolen, being displaced. There is no honest argument. None.
Hernandez may or may not be mentally ill. Only her psychiatrist knows for sure.
But being transgender is not mental illness.
Gender incongruence has been moved out of the “Mental and behavioural disorders” chapter and into the new “Conditions related to sexual health” chapter. This reflects current knowledge that trans-related and gender diverse identities are not conditions of mental ill-health, and that classifying them as such can cause enormous stigma.
Guy walks into a psychiatrist’s office wearing nothing but Saran Wrap. Psychiatrist takes one look at him and says “I can clearly see you’re nutz”. Some things are not that complicated.
This is true in theory, but I challenge you to identify one trans individual that is not severely mentally ill in some other way. eg a woman who is normal and well-adjusted by any other metrics, but just happens to be male. I suggest that you will not be able to find such a person. I know a few transgender individuals, every one of them has major issues, of which being trans is one. And even if we were to act like being trans is not a major red flag, there are plenty more red flags anyway. It would take a some major willful ignorance to not see it in every case I've seen. It's in my family, and a few people I know.
So you know "a few" trans individuals and draw conclusion about millions of people based on "a few" people? That's pretty scientific. Nearly a quarter (23.1%) of US adults live with mental health issues.
An overview of statistics for mental illnesses. Mental illnesses are common in the United States. One in six U.S. adults lives with a mental illness (43.4 million in 2015). Mental illnesses include many different conditions t...
And one of the reasons so many of them have mental health issues is that they are constantly harassed and threatened by rightwing activists. I don't know what you mean by "severe" mental illness. But this young woman looks very normal and well-adjusted. She is also very smart (a high school valedictorian and an Ivy school freshman).
This is a complicated issue, as much as people on both sides of the aisle would like to pretend it's not. Personally I don't think trans women should be in women's sports. But no one ever wants to have that conversation in good faith, so I never try. It's all just anger and insults, no matter whos doing the talking.
Not that complicated. If you have testicles, you compete against others with testicles.
My response to this post was deleted as it "Encourages violence, abuse, or harassment of another person/forum poster." What I post was a video clip of a trans athlete who is supported and loved by her local community. How does that encourage violent, abuse or harassment?
It’s mental illness. You can provide all the pseudo-scientific horse manure from a bunh of nation-wrecking marxists you want but it doesn’t change reality.
HE is completely normal correct? Especially that posture:
WHO is Marxist? You are Telling you never read Marx without telling you never red Marx.
I didn't say Hernandez was "completely normal." I don't even know what "completely normal" means. Do you make judgment based on a person's posture? Is Jordan Lucas "completely normal"?

You completely skirted the issues and facts the guy noted. You yourself are in fact just another useful idiot for the nation wreckers, but you’re too self absorbed, narcissistic, and arrogant to see it. You are so ruled by confirmation bias that it’s obvious you could use some help, and on the way to that you should get some help for the OCD that drives you make post after voluminous post to defend what is in fact indefensible unless one is supremely dishonest. Stop attacking people and get straightened out.
