"An Edmonton Catholic School Board trustee says transgender students should be considered as having a mental illness.

"I see that as a mental disorder, my faith sees it as a mental disorder," Larry Kowalczyk said in an interview with CBC News Tuesday prior to a meeting of the school board.

At the meeting, trustees voted to refer a decision on an "inclusive community" policy for the city's Catholic schools, a policy prompted by complaints over the treatment of a transgender student, to their next meeting.

"And when a lot of people believe in a delusion it's called religion."

Time to start calling it what it is.

If they call me mentally ill, I call them a cult. It seems a fair trade.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.
