Gender Dysphoria is not synonymous with being a transgender. The APA is a scientific/psychological organization. So, no, it's not just an opinion.

http://www.apa.org/topics/lgbt/transgender.aspx A psychological state is considered a mental disorder only if it causes significant distress or disability. Many transgender people do not experience their gender as distressing or disabling, which implies that identifying as transgender does not...

I just love the fact that she straight up said that said she has a master's degree in psychology, yet isn't even able to defend her position nor provide any sources. Not one. The whole debate was just calling us opinionated and unqualified, even though we were citing a prominent psychological...

When challenged to cite sources and evidence for her claims, she instead blocks. Hallelujah! Cries about people debating her, yet debates other people and claims to be an expert.

What's that have to do with anything? I enjoy talking about politics. The only reason you see me on here is so frequently is because I literally work on a computer and have a tab open for whenever I take a break, and sometimes I get invested in conversations. You won't see me on here on my...

I don't go on people's profiles and I've never seen her on this forum until today.

You have yet to name one organization that agrees with you and cite any sort of study from these organizations. lol

Russian isn't a race, and I'm from Russia too lol. What I said was in reference to our debate. Alecto said organizations in her country said that the APA was wrong. Alecto didn't name any organization nor the country. In my reply I said that the majority of European psychological...

@Bold: You have yet to name even one, especially outside of Russia.

Taking your life is forbidden in Judaism, is it not? And Jews were willing to die before giving up their religion. The APA already stated that depression and stress within transgenders stems from discrimination.

Your comment is irrelevant to what I just said. You said we didn't have a debate, yet we had a debate over the definition of what an opinion is. This is just embarrassing. Ok, don't hurt yourself logging off your highness.

Whatever I say? Well I said that we just had a debate and you said we didn't. Clearly what I say seems to be right. Yet you still wasted that time. Wow, you must really not have cared for my "opinion," as you've stated multiple times.

You were debating what an opinion is with me? Must we now debate what a debate is? Again, that's not my opinion. I was citing what the APA has said on the issue of Transgender classification as a mental disorder. Whether I agree with them or not is irrelevant, but they did the research and...

Do you think you're clever by asking me that question?

@Bold: LMAO. Called it. Case closed. It's funny how much you boasted at being such an expert with a master's degree in psychology, yet this entire debate was just you telling me that your opinion is the only opinion that matters, regardless what the facts and research says.

That's not an opinion.... I literally gave you the definition of what an opinion is. Did you not read it? Oh? And which country is that and what credible organization says this? The majority of European psychological organizations agree that you're wrong. The only major European country...

How is it my opinion if I'm telling you what the actual research on the matter is? Definition of Opinion: "a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge." PC agenda? Well that's convenient. Do you have any empirical evidence of this which clearly...

No, it's not my opinion. How are you unable to comprehend this? Again, let me make this clear to you. I'm not giving you my point of view; I am referencing the research of the APA. The APA is the largest organization of psychologists in the U.S. They are the ones who diagnose and label...

But that's not my point of view, that's the APA research. Your point of view isn't scientific nor is it factual.

The APA stated that it's not a mental disorder. I'll take their word over yours. And them being affected by stress or depression stems from the fact that they are the subject of harsh discrimination by the rest of society.
