Trump cabinet choices and other appointments

I think having a dick and walking around in women's clothing suggests otherwise.

 

I would defer to mental health professionals and whether they'd agree with your statement, and I think the vast majority would disagree with it.

 

pics, or don't know whether hittable.

 

Nice try. You're original post is there to see.

 

Totally wrong. They shot her with the heart attack gun after failing to kill her shooting down the plane. Too bad she was vaccinated or she might have survived the heart attack gun too.

 

New press secretary. Trump is serious about fixing america's problems

 

Did I say anything in the post you quoted that goes against my original one? Nope. So what the heck are you even saying? Yeah, nice try is right...

 

I think he's saying that your first post made it sound like you knew who in the waiting room was vaccinated and who wasn't, but it would seem that you were only inferring this based on some statements your doctor made about some tendencies she noticed.

 

Remember these braindead trolls @AroundTheWorld cried about pedophilia for years claiming dems were pedophiles. Silence now from the same trolls

 

Yeah.....right.

 

Trunp is putting forward idiots to see how much power he has. He wants to see if the Senate bends the knee. If they will do it for people like Gaetz then he knows he can push through anything.

 

I sent the following prompt to grok-2-2024-08-13 using this page (https://lmarena.ai/)

Do the majority of mental health professional agree or disagree with the statement that transgenderism is a mental illness?​

and it answered with the following:

The topic of whether transgenderism, or being transgender, is considered a mental illness has been widely discussed within the mental health community, and there has been significant evolution in the understanding and classification over the years. Here's a detailed overview:

1. **Historical Context**:
- Historically, transgender identity was indeed pathologized. Terms like "Gender Identity Disorder" were used in diagnostic manuals like the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) until DSM-IV.

2. **Current Professional Consensus**:
- **DSM-5 (2013)**: The American Psychiatric Association changed the diagnosis from "Gender Identity Disorder" to "Gender Dysphoria." This shift was significant because it moved away from labeling the identity itself as a disorder to focusing on the distress (dysphoria) that some transgender people experience due to the incongruence between their experienced gender and the sex assigned at birth. The presence of distress is what might be classified as a mental health issue, not the transgender identity itself.

- **ICD-11 (2019)**: The World Health Organization (WHO) moved "Gender Incongruence" out of the mental disorders chapter into a new chapter on conditions related to sexual health. This change reflects the understanding that transgender identity in itself is not a mental illness but can be associated with distress or health issues that might require medical or psychological support.

3. **Professional Opinions and Agreements**:
- **Majority View**: Most contemporary mental health professionals and organizations, including the American Psychological Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), agree that being transgender is not a mental illness. They advocate that the distress some transgender individuals feel is often due to societal discrimination, rejection, or the pressure to conform to a gender that doesn't align with their identity, rather than an inherent aspect of being transgender.

- **Dissenting Views**: There are still some professionals within the mental health community who might argue that transgender identity should be classified within the realm of mental disorders, often citing reasons related to the need for psychological treatment or the presence of dysphoria. However, these views are increasingly in the minority and often criticized for not reflecting current research or the lived experiences of transgender individuals.

4. **Ethical and Clinical Approach**:
- The consensus among leading health organizations is to treat gender dysphoria if it exists, support transgender individuals in their identity, and address any co-occurring mental health issues like anxiety or depression, which are often results of external factors like discrimination or lack of acceptance rather than the transgender identity itself.

In summary, **the majority of mental health professionals and leading health organizations do not consider transgenderism itself to be a mental illness**. Instead, they focus on alleviating any distress or dysphoria associated with being transgender, advocating for acceptance, and providing support for transgender individuals to live in their affirmed gender.​

Again, I’ll defer to majority opinion of mental health professionals.

 

thats a very diplomatic way to say that @Scarface281 is full of s***.
