Bradley Manning wants to be a woman

If you get upset by such basic things as who you actually are then there is only one medicine that will cure you and that is MTFU. If you don't have enough grit to get over reality and accept who you are then I don't have any sympathy. Certainly not enough to start mangling the English language for you, in your presence or out of it.

Pretty fundamentally who we are is in our minds. In the mind of a transgendered person they are the opposite sex.

[regexcellent]

No, that's ridiculous, because in your mind you could be a rocketship or a whale. What you are is what other people observe you to be.

Their brains are physically different from well adjusted members of their sex, and in ways are closer to members of the opposite sex, you ****ing raging bigot. Why don't you educate yourself?

Do you actually know this to be true? If it is true, why can't it be diagnosed as an actual physical condition? (serious question)

[regexcellent]

That's right, their brains are physically different, just like a schizophrenic's brain is different from yours or mine. Well, maybe. I'm a little bit skeptical. Again, they should just accept who they actually physically are and if they can't do that then I stand by the charge of delusion.

To be fair, the indicated treatment for schizophrenics is not MTFU.

[notyoueither]

Their brains are more like those of members of the opposite sex. That is why it is not a mental illness, '****.

That did not answer my question. But it is really a mental illness. We've been over this. It fits the literal definition of mental illness.

[regexcellent]

Um that sounds like a problem with the brain to me!

Yes I've heard your argument that it's actually a physical ailment because the body is wrong but that is so ****ing stupid I almost can't put it in words. Like, Michael J. Fox doesn't have Parkinsons, it's the world that's shaking around him. Memory loss isn't a mental illness, it's a physical disease which is cured by getting tattoos all over your body Memento-style.

Well epilepsy is not a mental illness and it has to do with the brain. But being a transexual is an anomalous psychological trait that negatively affects someone's behavior or mood etc etc.

[regexcellent]

The whole "trannies don't have a mental illness, it's the body that's wrong" thing is so ass-backwards it's dumbfounding, but what's more amazing is that NYE is falling for this obvious ploy to get it covered by medical insurance hook, line, and sinker.

[notyoueither]

Yeah, that's what it's about... medical insurance. Sure.

What a moron.

That wasn't addressed at you.

How else are they gonna get BlueCross to pay for that sex reassignment surgery? A claim for surgery on your dick to treat a mental illness ain't gonna go very far. Seriously, you've been duped.
