I found this gem of a comment online so I decided to make a blog of it.
This person is like a myriad of others I have encountered on the internet who are intent on proving the belief that being transgendered is a mental disorder.
Read on..
Gay is not transgender. I'm tired of my rights being limited by people who I believe are, in fact, mentally ill. I don't believe "transgender" exists, to be honest–and I think those people–and I do mean "those people," not me–need to get help accepting themselves. I believe you are born a certain sex, and you need to man up and deal with it.
The gay community likes transgender because is it oh so shocking. I'm gay–I'm not out to shock people, I'm not out to be subversive. I'm out to live a normal life. I'm a man who loves men. I have no questions about my gender or the gender that I'm attracted to. I don't need to shame myself by behaving in exotic, flamboyant ways to appease the neighborhood bully.
