    Mental illness is funny, if you're obssesed with detail and perfect order, you can have a problem or be an air traffic controller. Your question, it's bias, and assumptions are all tainted, there's no evidence only opinion, and it's still illegal to commit suicide, which tells you how effective legislation is at dealing with mental health issues.

    Right so you heard one psychiatrist say something, that does not mean that all think this way. Fact is that you probably read this on a right wing christian hate site.

    The majority of psychiatrists would not class being transgender as a mental ILLNESS (look up the meaning of that word), however your obsession, and threats of violence would have you classed as a psychopath!

    So great work there, you have provided proof that you are mentally ill!

    Trans people aren't trans because they were encouraged to be, you unspeakable, subhuman mountain of shlt.

    Their brains developed differently than their reproductive organs.

    Trans people commit suicide because of hate-mongering garbage like you. You're basically a mass murderer.

    Thanks.

    EDIT: 24 hours later - and of course NO citation to a journal. Not a shock, but let's think about it.

    EDIT: 2 days later - no citation to a journal. I call absolute bull on the comment, no such statement was made that can be cited to a credible source. End of discussion.

    John Hopkins is one of how many million psychologists in the world ? Stop referring to him over and over, it's embarrassing. There are a lot of psychologists who disagree with him... like any trained psychologist in the public sector.

    They're likely to commit suicide because they get so much crap from hetero cis people so the solution is support them and make them feel like good about themselves.
