Does this mean I can finally date a mtf without being called a weirdo?


Exactly.

Not really
This isn't really going to change the way people think guys.


Oh, that was meant to be a joke. :P

That's not the point. I'm just saying that people who join the military are usually rough and tough characters. You know, guys with big muscles and whatnot. They probably wouldn't tolerate anyone ghey, let alone a transgender.

Implying a homo-blam!- can't be "tough".

That is quite alright.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

Was it ever? I think it would be pretty obvious that it would be physical if it were to be considered a disorder.

Nobody cares about anyone else's opinion - be it mine, yours, or a cult of angry star wars nerds - when they are enjoying what they enjoy.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

Well psychologists are the ones with doctorates in studying the human mind.

Because credentials mean you're a genius.

A. I fail to see how gender and sex are independent, besides that of the psychological community saying they are.
Well psychologists are the ones with doctorates in studying the human mind.

Sex is merely biology. It simply refers to your reproductive organs. Gender, however, is the identity of being either masculine or feminine, of which is socially constructed primarily.


Hmmm. While I can't argue with the credentials of psychologists, that doesn't necessarily mean what they say is true or fact.
True. But they're certainly more knowledgeable on the subject as opposed to laymen, and they are more inclined to draw proper conclusions.

That underlined word is debatable. Great societies always become decadent before their historic fall.

I think this is becoming less about science and more about political correctness.

I question this decision.

If its not a mental disorder, than what is it considered?

I have to agree.

Having a mental disorder doesn't automatically equal bad.

Natural variation.

Just...a thing. "Disorder" has a negative connotation which alludes to something needed to be fixed. Such is not the case with being transgender.

Well, you aren't part of the psychiatry field, so I doubt you would understand.

Not necessarily. Based on their conclusions, they decided that transgenderism doesn't properly fit into the mental disorder category. That doesn't necessarily they did it just to make people happy.
