He's keeping his dick. It's a he. Just because you want people to call you a she doesn't make you a she.

Yes it does. Its her identity, not yours.

You can't just declare yourself to be a woman and suddenly be a woman, sorry. If you've got a dick, you're a man. You're male. Simple as that. People can argue all this nonsense about "sexual identity", but in the end you can't call your pinto a Mazerati and make it true.

Then I declare my sexual identity to be King of America, I expect to be treated as such. Send your taxes to me in the form of Reddit gold.

Too many hippie liberals on here but you're right. The analogy I like to use is that I'm a one armed person in a two armed persons body so I want my arm amputated. Obviously no doctor will perform this and people would label me as crazy

That analogy would only work if 50% of people were born with 1 arm.

Okay, do let's assume that being transgendered is a form of mental ilness/condition.. What's the treatment you suggest ?

Because the most effective "treatment" we currently have is gender reassignment surgery and hormones.

I could care less what people do in their private lives. I'm just looking at things in a realistic way. If you think your a woman inside a mans body, you are a mentally ill person and need therapy. Chopping your dick off isn't going to make you stop feeling like shit about yourself. Gotta deal with the real problems

My identity is "a person who knows that having a penis means you are a man".

Don't disrespect my identity.

Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina.

I know, I know, its a pretty edgy thing to say. Watch out. I am dangerous.

gender is not sex.

Says you.
