I miss the old days when we would lock you the fuck up for pulling shit like this, to keep the public safe and figure out where you went wrong and how to unfuck you. Now we just have to accept it and we’re bad people for thinking this dude should be shot in the head behind a barn.
It really depends on how one defines a mental health problem.
Years ago, pretty much any kind of non-cisgender perspective or behavior in terms of sex and gender was considered a mental health problem. Up until relatively recently, even being a homosexual was considered a mental health problem.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders (The DSM) typically defines psychiatric disorders as mental conditions that cause:
Significant distress (psychological suffering in self or others)
Significant dysfunction (inability to carry out basic life functions or obligations like interacting with others, school, work, etc)
And are statistically deviant from the norm (it can’t be a disorder if it’s too common)
A diagnosis is a categorization that is a signal that an individual is in need of treatment. If no treatment is needed, a person doesn’t need a diagnosis. This was one of the main reasons why homosexuality is no longer considered a disorder.
This guy might be a statistical deviant from the norm, but as long as he’s not in distress and able to carry out his life in a healthy and productive way then no…this isn’t a mental health problem.
You claiming it is a problem is pretty insensitive and already borders on being offensive. Saying ‘trans-shit’ is definitely offensive.
You know what? I’m a trans-ager too, I should be able to kick an annoying minors ass, I should also be able to have sex with a 15-17 year old again as well, I am 17 after all, and if you don’t like that, then you’re ignorant, respect to all trans-agers. Gotta love political correctness.
I hope I haven’t Beetlejuice damned us all by saying his name, but what really separates that guy from other youtube spamming racist jerkbags in GGPO who bring their zero sum trans-stream monster personalities here.

That Geico Peter Pan commercial. Sure its good for him now when his peers are old at the reunion, but you know he got destroyed, nay roasted in High School back then when he doesn’t grow beyond being 10 years old. While everyone else is driving around to makeout points and having sex during prom, this guy is sitting at home sticking his fingers into peanut butter with his name on it.
And you guys really need to start separating trans people from the tumblresque nonsense. A lot of the issue with some of the mental health problems is that some of them are treat with disproportionately to how they should.
Think of a trans person as somebody with diabetes. Their main issue is that their brain IS working in a wacky way. Fortunately it isn’t working in the same wacky way as somebody with schizophrenia or epilepsy. Depending on how you choose to deal with it, they can lead a very healthy life and not bother anybody. For a lot of them dressing the right way helps with a lot of the mental problems they are having.
How much does sexual reassignment surgery helps and all the other jazz is up in the air. I’ve heard (not read) that people who transition end up not being all that happier after the surgery is done. But as far as trans people go (which is a statistically hliariously small group of people), a letting them have that little bit ends up going a long way.
I can understand why its off putting to a lot of people. Unfortunately not all of them are going to look good switching over. Quite honestly, there’s a lot that are gonna look fucked up. But even as busted looking as they may end up looking, they end up a bit better. Discussion should be a bit more frank about this stuff and really explain living life as the opposite gender is the best treatment when it comes to this. So far it doesn’t seem like you can convince the brain that it is in alignment with the organs, there are medications that do affect the feelings of wanting to be in the opposite gender (I believe its some of the schizophrenia medication) but that’s what it is.
So if I can be trans-age, can I be age-fluid? Like, just move back a decade to fuck some teenagers then move forward six decades and collect Medicaid a few years later?
