So that sounds like a rough upbringing being forced to hide your feelings. With that said many of us feel like being trans is a mental illness with a huge percentage ending in massive depression and suicide both pre and post transition doesn't seem to help. As someone who had literally gone through it and is living it do you feel it is a mental illness to go so strongly against your biology?
Do you consider it on par with body dysmorphia? Or do you consider body dysmorphia a mental illness?
I've discussed this before, but that's okay; it's been a long thread now.
Gender Dysphoria is a mental illness, yes. It is the root, tic, catalyst or whatever you choose to call it of transsexualism. There is something in a trannys mind that causes us to see ourselves/be the opposite sex, and that pervasive, horrible feeling is Gender Dysphoria. BEING a tranny isn't a mental illness, no... it is the cure. That's where a shitload of people, both cis and trans alike, get it wrong. Then again, 99% of trannies, activists and lgbtqawxyz++++ agenda pushers refuse to call Gender Dysphoria a mental illness right out of the gate.
Transition is the best cure that we hairless monkeys have to deal with GD. Find a cure
without being chained to life-long medications (HRT), expensive surgeries, social difficulties and the like and we'd be better off; all of us.
There are links to higher rates of depression in trans people, yes... not just depression but also autism (and I'm sure bi-polar / schizophrenia is higher than the average populace too)... it's complex and I don't have the answers. Yes, it is painfully obvious that social ostracism is a correlate, but as other wiser people than me have pointed out, that's not the sole reason for the disproportionately high suicide rates... as other oppressed minorities such as blacks during slavery or jews during the holocaust haven't had the high numbers of suicide as transgender people have... and I think everyone would pick being trans in 2018 America vs. being jewish in 1943 Europe. There is a pretty strong link here between being transgender and other mental illnesses though, yes.

Sure, why not.......................
Because I'm not an effeminate fag. If I were, I'd just be an effeminate fag heh. Being trans has nothing to do with sexual preferences, or really "sex" in the active sense at all. We don't transition to hook up with dudes easier... it's nothing like that... not even a blip on the radar for the "why", trust me.
My brother is 100% fine with everything now. It was really difficult in the beginning and we didn't talk for a solid year after I spilled the beans, but he eventually realized that his preconceived notions about things weren't in line with reality... that I wasn't some pervy dude in a dress, or some Godless heathen infested with AIDS, or some bluehaired pinko going around pushing an agenda on society.
