For YOU to call it a mental illness is wrong. What Grant is experiencing is something ONLY HE can deal with to determine what's right for him.

WebMD: Types of Mental Illness

quote:

Psychotic disorders:

Psychotic disorders involve distorted awareness and thinking. Two of the most common symptoms of psychotic disorders are hallucinations -- the experience of images or sounds that are not real, such as hearing voices -- and delusions, which are false fixed beliefs that the ill person accepts as true, despite evidence to the contrary. Schizophrenia is an example of a psychotic disorder.

This is clearly stupid. You could make the exact same argument about schizophrenia and be just as wrong.

This whole discussion is a good illustration of the basic problem I have with progressivism in general. There is only one debating tactic: "Sieze the moral high ground and then bludgeon the opponent with how good a person your opinion supposedly makes you, and how bad a person theirs makes them."

I don't know how he was born either, nor do I care. I can identify as a billionaire but unless my bank account proves it out then I would be just as delusional and pretending to be something I'm not as he is. The very definition of a mental disorder.

Are schizophrenic people not schizophrenic unless they say they are? Or do they have a disorder that needs medical intervention?

I cannot wait until a trans student legitimately wants to be in a sorority. When that happens the University will have to bend over backwards to make it happen. It will be at Bama because of the emphasis they put on sororities. Then you will see liberal politicians screaming and trying and attach Federal funding to the issue. Get your popcorn.



In general, the only thing I would give a crap in your post is the government trying to force people to do something. If a sorority at Alabama wants to have him, I'm fine with that. If none of the sororities at Alabama want him, I'm also fine with that.

So if you think my head is going to explode because a sorority eventually allows it one day, you're mistaken.

Freedom means if a guy wants to pretend he's a woman that's fine. If a group of people also want to pretend he's a woman, that is also fine. When you try to force me to pretend he's a woman, that is not fine, that is against my freedom. The shite they are doing with kids is just sick and is not fine.

Gay people should be able to get married, and if someone wants to tell them frick off, we aren't baking you a cake, then that's also their right.

That's freedom.

Now apply your logic to race, because it wasn't much different at the same location 50 years ago. If Kay was a Bama Grad, I am sure she would have been standing in the Phi Mu doorway.

Needs to transfer out to Texas University in Austin. She would be so welcome that they would "hold" a campus wide dildo party in her honor.

Ah, the board's resident lobotomy survivor stops in to grace us with his pearls of wisdom. Tell me, teacher, exactly how are the two situations you are speaking of similar? Because I would argue that "being black" and "being a dude but claiming to be a girl" are nothing alike.

Hopefully Biden and the DOJ intervene. Hate crime charges are on the table, and full withholding of federal funds to the University if they don’t act and punish the sororities. Go after the football program, it’s what they hold most dear. Justice must prevail here


Lol, you had me going with your first post. I really thought you were a liberal lunatic. But you gave yourself away here. You went too far too fast. Learn from this experience and your next troll will be better.

Of course it does. I also think the current way society treats it as not a mental health issue and that we should accept it, does far more damage.
