What do you mean by "illness"? Like something you contract such ass the common cold???

Edit: NM Laim linked above as Mental Illness

"mental illness". Completely separate from just "illness" on various levels, obviously one you can't contract.

Own opinion, don't really like labelling peoples personal thoughts on a form of illness, although scientifically that would work. But I don't really understand where the want for a gender change would spring from. Also comments like "I am a in the wrong body" and stuff like that. Don't get it.

Think sometimes its influenced by upbringing and the weight some stuff is put on peoples shoulders to "live up to their gender" whereas they might like other things.

But I still don't see how such a situation could progress to want physical anatomy changes, seems very extreme for me. Also then have the situation of being a transgender and the effect that has on a person in society.

Psychologists make case studies, so the results they gather may not be generalisable to the public, as they may have only tested ona few types of people, maybe males only, turning to females. Not saying your wrong, all psychologists do is make case studies and use other peoples theorems to help others.

I agree with u m80 I really don't understand it but tbh I really couldn't give two shits as long as you're not interfering with my life I'm cool with it.

I have been involved with the West Australian LGBT community since I was 19. I don't have an issue with it, don't consider it a mental illness, and I certainly don't agree that transgenders have no respect for themselves. You would know that if you knew a transgender other than Caitlyn Jenner. In fact, the transgenders I know have more respect for themselves than most women.

I have a niece who was born my nephew. I helped raise her and can tell you first hand that her gender identity had nothing to do with the environment she was raised in. From the time she was a baby, she wanted to play with barbies and dress up in princess clothes. I remember her at 5 years old wanting to wear a pretty dress to school, and when my sister said she couldn't because she was a boy, the child fell to pieces. She was crying and yelling that she was NOT a boy and her mom needed to take her to a doctor and get her some "girl parts" so everyone else would know she was a girl too. She is now 21 years old and has been living as a female and going through the gender reassignment process for several years now. She is a beautiful, woman, she has always been more feminine than my daughters ever were. She certainly has a ton of self respect and won't tolerate anyone else disrespecting her either. Mental illness? I don't know about that, all I know is my niece was born in a male body but has ALWAYS known exactly who she is, and she is a much happier person now that "everyone else" knows too.
