lol are you malfunctioning or something? You're making even less sense than usual. The DSM-V reflects a medical consensus. It references autogynaephilia, which it defines as a paraphilia. You, independently, decided that transbians aren't autogynaephiles. The guy who coined the term created the definition in order to define transbians:

"non-homosexual transsexual women (as well as all other non-homosexual male gender dysphorics) have a condition called autogynephilia and are aroused by the idea or image of themselves as women" – Blanchard R, Clemmensen LH, Steiner BW (1987). Heterosexual and homosexual gender dysphoria

"Yeah, but mob rule" doesn't impress me. You don't even know what gender identity is. Gender identity is determined by socialisation. Trans people were socialised according to the norms of their sex, not their preferred sex. You're using "gender identity" to refer to their cross-gender self-identification. Why are you such a noob?

We believe in gender dysphoria 100%. It's you that doesn't.

"We"? Have you changed your preferred pronouns, or something? Belief again? I reject anything that is faith-based. If actual medical bodies decided to recognise transgenderism as a mental disorder called "gender dysphoria" again, then I'd give it a read, but until that unlikely time I'm not going to start "believing in it" for no reason.

Conversion therapy is not someone voluntarily choosing to transition

There are homosexuals who voluntarily go through conversion therapy. The introduction of gender dysphoria into the DSM on the heels of homosexuality being taken out was viewed by some within the medical sphere as a possible "backdoor manoeuvre" of re-pathologising homosexuality. Does the massive overrepresentation of homosexuals within the trans population not strike you as odd/worthy of note?

Calling someone an Uncle Tom, handmaiden or a traitor is gross and will earn you less respect than you already have.

Didn't you hypocrites react that way to Jenner when he said he didn't support women's sports becoming unisex in order to affirm self-identification?

You just don't want to hear the truth.

On the contrary, which is why I avoid disreputable news outlets.

You just made this up.

In order for that to be true I'd have to be over 100 years old & stolen the identities of the following people: Lisa Littman, Ray Blanchard, Kurt Freund & Magnus Hirschfeld.

Stick to discussing other people's arguments and avoid personal attacks.
