    Another reason the males behind this movement decided that "transsexual" is unacceptable and must be replaced with "transgender" is to hide and obscure that for all males who develop "gender dysphoria" and "identify as" trans during puberty and adulthood the primary motivation is always sexual.

    Same goes for males who develop "gender dysphoria" in childhood: when these boys first experience it, the motive isn't sexual. But for males with childhood "GD" who don't outgrow it during puberty, as the vast majority do, the reason they persist is primarily sexual too. These males want to be sexually objectified the way they and other males sexually objectify females; and they want men to fuck them the way they imagine all men fuck females.

    The use of the word "transgenderism" is an intentional way of covering up that the issue here is male sexual gratification and that the trans movement at its core is not about liberation, it's about male libertinism.

    I think you hit the nail on the head! Totally seems like the wording is used to obscure their true intentions. Like if I look at a man in his 40s who decides to "become" a woman and leave his wife and kids, and I can't see anything other than a mentally unstable, fetishy weirdo. Is that...transphobic?

    No, it’s accurate. All men who pretend they are women are mentally ill. Maybe not unstable if they’re getting actual treatment for their delusional narcissism, but that rarely happens.

    I think they are definitely mentally ill, but not necessarily mentally unstable. On the contrary, they come off to me as extremely locked into their delusions, fixed and rigid in their thinking. Unlike people I know with other mental illnesses, who tend to have unstable, changeable moods and thinking and experience a lot of self-doubt.

    Trans people are different from lots of other mentally ill people coz their mental illness has caused them to join a cult and adopt a very rigid, black-and-white way of thinking and world view. Which lots of mentally ill people don't do.

    I find TRAs and trans ideologues to be almost zombie-like and unable to see things from anyone else's point of view or to consider even for a moment whether they might be wrong. Whereas most of the people I know and have known with mental illness are still able to have empathy and sympathy, they are capable of seeing that their POV is just their POV, and aware that what they believe to be absolutely true might actually be a misperception or delusion. Whereas TRAs and trans people are 1000% wedded to their delusions and misperceptions and totally convinced that they are not delusional.
