I'm reeling you guys in here from the SJW thread so a derail doesn't happen in that particular thread but I wanted to respond in kind to what y'all are talking about and also give our newly out-of-the-closet Porkchop a platform to respond to, too.
I think in some, very rare cases, transexuals qualify as a divergent identity compared to social norms; but I'll go out on a limb and say the grand majority of them are struggling with psychological illnesses that can be resolved without the need to physically alter themselves.
The language you're using here is somewhat murky and grey, so I want to make some distinctions between what you're saying, what I'm saying and what reality may dictate. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any data short of the VERY recent Brown's University
Study that was actually nixed due to identity politics that show a distinction between what I call trans
trenders and true transsexuals.
Due to a lack of studies (sans the above), all I can do is counter with my own murky non-scientific and anecdotal evidence on this. It's my assertion that what you deem as "very rare cases" are more common than you may think. There's more binary trannies out there than what I would call "very rare"; it's just that most binary trannies transition, get on with their lives, and don't want to stay steeped in the mire of trans-activism or (like me) the counter-activism (not that I'm really trying tho). A lot transition and fade away into passibility and a quiet life. It's also my assertion that yes there is substantial evidence of high rates of comorbidity between transsexualism and other mental illnesses such as depression, bi-polar tendencies, autism, and schizophrenia. Your experience has correlated precisely to what Ben Shapiro has been discussing in his speeches regarding this topic.
My fear that I have almost at this point broken-record'ed (<--trademarked, bitches) is that the alt-left/SJW agenda is greatly responsible for this comorbidity statistic. As the Brown's study notes, many young people transition around the same time as their peers indicating that a high number of trannies are only transitioning due to social and/or peer influence. Autists and Depressives are being sold this magic potion by the alt-left and SJW group-think that your maladjustment in society and sadness is BECAUSE you were born in the wrong body. In other words (and because this post is getting long like a_skeleton_03's penis), trans
trenders are ruining shit for true transsexuals who ONLY suffer from gender dysphoria and it pisses me off.
Maybe I've just had a streak of bad luck with the people I've met over the years, and I'm sure there are some trans people I've been within degrees of association of that were well adjusted and passable to the extent I didn't even know they were trans
I'd bet a LOT of money on the fact that not only you, but many many other people here have brushed elbows with a passable tranny in their lifetime and not even known about it, yup. It sounds retarded as I'm typing this, but it's honestly like we're ninjas.. the best ones are the ones you don't even notice. You only notice the
shitty ninjas in most contexts haha.
Wasnt the T in LGBT for transitioning, as in a process of going to Male if you are Female and other way around, a temporary status until you body matches your self image.
If the process is over you would end up as opposite sex unless you want to stop mid way through which seems just indecisive.
T = Transgender, not Transitioning, but what you are describing is precisely what it means to be a "Binary" tranny. Going from A to B, B to A. Being Transgender is a kinda self-definable thing that if you look at the root word of what
trans is, it means just what I said it is, that being A to B, B to A. The "stopping mid-way through" part is what non-binary trannies do or want to achieve. This is why I say that non-binary trannies aren't even
real trannies. It's more a social statement, fashion, identity politics, and hive-mind kind of leftist soup vs. a legitimate psychological / social problem that people like me and Morrow and (maybe Porkchop) suffer and deal with. But for me to say what I just said is horribly transphobic, divisive and non-inclusive to the trans-community (which is not my motive, but I'll side with rationality and reason before I side with hive-mind rhetoric).
