Is a sex-change a constitutional right?Follow

Wow, this really went over your head. I would think someone who is fighting for LBGT, would understand this. Ever watched X-men when people are trying to "cure" the mutant disease and the response is "There's nothing to cure"? It's the same concept with the homosexual-curing camps. You can't cure something if there is nothing wrong with the person.

You can only classify it a disorder if there is something wrong with the person. So, in this case, if you want to classify GID as a "disorder", then believing that your body and gender are different is the problem. Your *feeling*, which I bold for you, IS the disorder. Every other man, gay, straight, feminine or not, believes that they are a man. For whatever reason, *YOU* (generally speaking) FEEL that you are something else. That is the disorder. The norm is to be like every other man in the world, not a unique snowflake.

If women with or removed penises were the norm, then you would have a point.



Read above.

That's illogical. If your treatment is to make them accept the changes as opposed to reversing them, then how is it a disorder to begin with? You don't do that with eating disorders, drinking addictions, gambling addictions, drug addictions, alcohol addictions, anger issues, depression issues, etc.

If the "treatment" is to support the person's changes as opposed to reversing the changes, then it isn't a disorder.

Yes, thank you for your input.

Except not, because it was stupid.

[EDIT]

That was at Alma, obviously.

God, I need to stop posting from my phone, I never even saw lolgaxe's picture...

Well, get yourself to a psychologist then, I'm sure someone would love to do a case study on you and perhaps stick some feathers up your ***.

Let her pump out some license plates then. Self sufficient! Problem solved!

"Most certainly"? Probably not. But then I allowed for basic mental health treatment so we're all copacetic regardless.

On the plus side, Rachel can feel free to buy and mail them to Manning's attention, c/o Leavenworth

It's okay, i know it's hard to google things, so let me help you out: http://bmb.pharma.hr/lauc/NI/303.pdf

Well, the treatment here is HRT, so i guess we're in agreement then.

It's not irrelevant because the alternative will cost potentially thousands of times more. One way or another, you're going to pay for it. Trying to avoid paying for a $5 medication is just going to get crazy expensive. Between the inevitable law suit (which she'll win), extra costs for suicide watch, anti-depressants, medical care (see above!), therapy, etc etc etc, it'd be cheaper to pay for her entire transition, including hormones, SRS, and plastic surgery.

Pretty sure they'd be thrown out, and i'd be arrested if i tried that.

I don't think you are being sincere, for some reason.

Or--as I've pretty much laid out--not treat any of that sh*t.


Prison is prison, not some camp for the mentally dysfunctional to get a free medical bill on the backs of those who obey the law.

I'm a big fan of removing ALL mental health treatments in prison. If you are crazy, then a jury should verdict as such, then you go to a hospital. Otherwise, rot your sick *** in prison.

Medicine in prison should be reserved in exception of in extreme cases of life or death. An example would be some sort of malignant cancer.

Otherwise, wait until you are out to seek care.

If that seems awful or unfair, here's a brilliant idea: don't break the law.

This is a really weak argument. it's an issue previously settled in favor of the stance you are arguing for, but it's a very weak argument.
