>Ask any gay person if they think being gay is a mental illness.
Doctors used to define it that way, before changing not based on anything tangible, but due to pressure from the public.

Condoning violence towards people with opinions that you don't like. Nice.
​
>Not to automatically label them as mentally ill.
You're basically stigmatizing mental illness.

I wouldn't expect you to understand. You have demonstrated your ignorance on the subject exceptionally well. But as someone who actually knows people that have been abused, bullied and looked down on by people like you, I would stand by them a 1000x over. As for the violence part, I have stepped in and stopped plenty of fights that were not started by the person I was defending. But rather by the hateful bigot that felt the need to push their views on other people.

That's a strange stance considering that you're proposing abuse to vulnerable people that aren't able to consent.

That's pretty much what I'm against. People who would force children into things they're not ready for.

And this is where your ignorance shines so brightly. If you actually knew anyone you claim to be protecting you would have an idea of just how backward your thinking is. No parent has ever said "Gee, I really wish I had a son I stead of a girl. I think I am going to make them suffer through a lifetime of mental trauma and force them to become a girl" This never happens. The child starts to question their identity. I loving and responsible parent listens to them and talks with the child about why they think that. Maybe even finding others that have gone through the same thing so they can talk it out together. No one is proposing abuse. Quite the opposite in fact if you actually read what I am saying and think with an open mind.
