JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE ARGUMENT OVER WHETHER BEING TRANSGENDER IS A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE - BASIC CIVILITY IS WHAT IS REQUIRED HERE - LIVE AND LET LIVE - NOT ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHAT WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND

John Chuckman


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN CBC NEWS



“Being transgender is not a mental health problem, WHO says

“World Health Organization has changed the classification of transgender in its diagnoses”



I don't think we really know. There really are no experts in these matters.

We all have a sexual component in our brains, not just in our organs.

But can that mental component be twisted or bent?

In any event, in these matters, our approach should always be: live and let live.

Accept people for what they say they are and avoid needless argument and unproved classification of others.

Basic civility in this as in in all matters, although we see damned little civility in this world, from small matters to the great matters of America just sweeping over others and calling them names.
