"I don't understand how a gay man can be against trans ideology when people used to say that being gay was a mental illness"

One of the following must be true:

  • Transgenderism is a mental illness, and therefore requires intervention. Trans ideology, in particular, claims that puberty blockers and other medical interventions are the ideal treatment for this mental illness; however, there is no evidence to support this claim. A reasonable person would oppose trans ideology because these methods are ineffective and harmful. (I can provide evidence for that but that's another debate.)

  • Transgenderism is NOT a mental illness, and therefore all prescribed interventions including puberty blockers, testosterone/estrogen, and surgeries are unnecessary (cosmetic). A reasonable person would oppose trans ideology because the general public shouldn't have to pay for unnecessary surgeries.

Either way... trans ideology is harmful.

Worth mentioning, also: homosexuality and bisexuality are present in many other animal species besides humans, but gender identity is present only in humans. Gender identity was invented in 1975 by a pedophile named John Money by Robert Stoller in 1964, my bad!, but same-sex attraction has been around since the beginning of recorded human history. They are not the same at all.

I recommend asking these people: "Should a person with anorexia, who thinks they look are too fat, be encouraged to diet? If not, then why should a woman, who thinks she looks too feminine, be encouraged to remove her breasts? Why is there this double standard about different types of body dysmorphia?"

Very nice points. The above examples are hilarious because no matter how you slice it, it's just ridiculous and harmful no matter how you spin it. We homosexuals don't have to change anything about ourselves that will negatively affect our harm in the long run neither.

And yeah it's absolutely insane these TRAs can be when their little ideology comes from a glorified pedophile who was clearly trying to take advantage of vulnerable young boys and both of them ended up committing suicide and yet his experiment is considered "successful"? How ? His primary "guinea pigs"' lives were ruined.
