The price of being different-Ohio transgender teen's suicide note: 'Fix society. Please.'

no look at the post made by M.G.

 

That post was entirely about depression, which is a side effect of the mental illness the boy was suffering with, it completely ignored the affliction that likely caused it. It's like talking about the effects of a fever while ignoring the meningitis that caused it.

 

You are inventing a sickness that doesn't exist.

Transgender isn't caused by a mental illness, it's likely caused by a miswiring in the brain as how it aligns to the actual gender of a person. Modern psychology doesn't treat this like a mental illness that can be cured but rather something inherent in the person. It's not a fever someone gets, it's like being born without your left arm. There's nothing you can do about it.

You are simply choosing to believe and distort things to back up your prejudice.

 

LOL, how many personality disorders can be "cured"? I was never suggesting that it was something that had a "cure", just something people had to deal with. Right now, they think the best treatment is to manage the side effects like depression with prescription drugs and try to do everything they can to play in to the delusion that they are the opposite sex. There's absolutely no "cure", and suggesting that there should be shows how little you know about psychology.

 

Were you under the mistaken impression that I supported that? Just because I'm not willing to blame the the mentally ill boy's suicide on it doesn't mean I support it in any way. There's a reason that most believe the best treatment for his condition would be doing all that is possible to play into his delusion rather than challenge it. That said, either way, he was at a very high risk of suicide due to his mental state.
