I've said this too many times. It hurts people's feelings to be told they may have a mental disorder. So instead of trying to remedy it, we normalize it to make them feel included with mentally healthy people.

They celebrate it. Not just normalize it - They idolize it. For shits and giggles install Tinder and see how many women have “mentally ill” listed in their profile. It’s like a badge of honor, I don’t get it.

Yes its so trendy and makes you special to have a list of pseudo 'issues'. Which is basically an excuse to not cope with anything.

Also an excuse for bad behavior.

Because somewhere along the line parents stop telling their kids to grow up, take responsibility and the world doesn't revolve around you. All things I heard growing up, and I'm not even that old, but kids these days get pampered and it's unhealthy for their mental states.

It makes me sick how they act like it's cool to have mental health issues. I suffer from terrible depression and anxiety, I fucking hate it. I don't prance around bragging about it. No normal person wants to suffer from these things.

And that's the trans movement in a nutshell.

Even some of my Trump supporting friends get one.about refusing to call transwomen women, etc. I explain ad nauseum these people are mentally ill and you're more concerned about not being called mean than you are about advocating for these people getting the mental care they need.

The it's ma'am! Shit is hilarious but also, it's sad because these.people really are convinced their body is wrong when in reality it's their mind that needs to be set right. They don't need castration and hormone replacement therapy. They need psychiatric care, therapists, and time to heal in an environment of people committed to their actual well being.

My cousins is a leftist nut and his wife even more so. She's a social worker or some crap that apparently specialiZes in trans and trans relationships. Guarantee you she's doing more harm than good because the advice she's giving isn't "get medical care" it's probably more along the lines of "muh you were born this way, everyone's a bigot, the world needs to change, not you, dur"
