Transsexuality is a mental disorder.

You say let us examine the evidence, yet your argument is largely full of opinions formulated from what I can assume to fabricated from your religious beliefs. You say points I have made are opinions of my own, yet I have referenced several scientific studies linking transgender individuals, and poor mental health. To back your argument" you bring definitions from a dictionary, and the bible. Show me studies that support your claim that these individuals are 100% in good mental health and are simply perverted. You insist on using the definition perversion, and define them as simply perverted individuals, who have developed a thought process. What let them to be prone to this "perverted" mental state? As previously referenced a vast percentage of them have suffered from a childhood trauma, perhaps altering the development of their young impressionable minds. I never once refuted your statement that transgenderism can fit under the definition of perversion. But show me a scientific study suggestion that these individuals are in perfect mental health, and simply watched too much porn and suddenly wanted to live as the other gender. Millions of people watch porn, and are perhaps perverted in nature, even attracted to the other sex, yet do not have the mental state of identifying as another gender. Why were these individuals prone to Gender Dysphoria? After all it is simply a learned behavior, developed as you state from perversion." Does your theory explain why MRI's and other brain scans show a difference in both brain activity and structure when compared to a non-transgender individual of the same sex? "Neuropsychologist Carme Junqu Plaja of the University of Barcelona"used MRI to examine the brains of 24 female-to-males and 18 male-to-females"both before and after treatment with cross-sex hormones. Their results, published in 2013, showed that even before treatment the brain structures of the trans people were more similar in some respects to the brains of their experienced gender than those of their natal gender. For example, the female-to-male subjects had relatively thin subcortical areas (these areas tend to be thinner in men than in women). Male-to-female subjects tended to have thinner cortical regions in the right hemisphere, which is characteristic of a female brain. (Such differences became more pronounced after treatment.)" "MRI data from 24 transwomen who had not started hormone treatment revealed that while their overall grey matter appeared similar to that of XY karyotype males, they possessed a significantly larger amount of grey matter in the right putamen. In fact, the grey matter structure of the transwomen was much closer to those seen in XX karyotype female subjects. In short, while the brains of the transwomen resembled XY male brains in terms of grey matter, in one specific region their brains appeared to be "feminized." (Luders) A study of the white matter in the brains of 18 transmen, 24 XY karyotype males, and 19 XX karyotype females using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) showed that the white matter structure of transmen was much closer to that of XY males than XX females. In fact, the white matter of their brain differed from the XY males only in a single region of the brain, whereas they differed from the XX women in three regions of the brain. None of the transmen had received hormone treatment at the time of the study. (Rametti, 2011) A follow-up study by the same researchers found that after the transmen had received hormone treatment, significant changes occurred in their brains, making them appear even more masculinized in certain regions which are associated with XY males. (Rametti, 2012)" These are just but a few examples of scientific research that show that transgender individuals have a different brain structure and activity, than non-transgender individuals. Similar to how a vast majority or people suffering from a range of mental disorders brains would be different than that of a control subject. Show me claims that support your argument, other than defining them as perverts, and referencing religion, and perhaps I can take your claims more seriously. I am puzzled at how you feel I am simply expressing my individual opinion, when the basis of my argument has been backed by science, on multiple levels. You have failed to produce any scientific evidence of your own, and perhaps because all studies done on their behavior, functioning, brain patterns, etc. point a very strong link between the transgender mind, and" a mental disorder. After all, GID has been classified as a disorder since 1980, and hasn't been changed up until recently, only due to a movement that calls the classification of GID as a disorder as discriminatory and infringing upon LGBTQ rights. Scientist and psychologist were wrong for 38 years? All of their studies, research, and findings disproven because being transgender fits the definition of perversion, and it goes against the bible? Your claims are outrageous, and it stands that Gender Dysphoria remains a mental disorder.
