And how can you deny that someone growing up feeling extremely unhappy in their skin & body , and feeling like another gender is not linked with some form of psychological situation?.

As i keep saying we need to stop stigmatising mental health .

We’re not talking about kids and teenagers under 18. I agree that people that age are way too ‘developing’ to make a life-altering choice if that ilk and I’ve said that 1002 times already. Between me and Oliver we’re discussing transsexualism in a broader scope (as it pertains to adults) and I’m trying to shift him from this cemented, backwards view he seems to have of transsexuality invariably being a mental illness.

Gender-dysphoria, which I’ve never doubted is a serious mental health concern, is not synonymous with just being transgender (which, again, I’ve said).

Let’s try and go off what I’ve actually said for the purpose of these arguments.
