Disorder:
Confusion, disorganization, irregularity, dysfunction, disturbance.
Gender Identity Disorder
In other words,
Gender Identity Confusion
Gender Identity Disorganization
Gender identity Irregularity
Gender Identity Dysfunction
Gender Identity Disturbance
Does this sound like something we as a society should be promoting through psychological and surgical means?
Normally, treatment for mental disorders involves some attempt toward reversing or reducing symptoms of the disorder.
For Anorexia Disorder, the goal is to stop starving yourself.
For Binge Eating Disorder, the goal is to stop stuffing yourself.
For Anxiety Disorder, the goal is to stop stressing yourself.
How ridiculous would it be to tell a person with Anorexic Disorder that they looked overweight.
How ridiculous would it be to tell a person with Binge Eating Disorder that they are completely healthy.
How ridiculous would it be to tell a person with Anxiety Disorder that their anti-anxiety medication could kill them.
You would not be promoting the disordered individual's well being. You would not be promoting order, but disorder.
And yet this is exactly what our society is doing with Gender Identity Disorder; rewriting all the rulebooks that once called it a mental illness and instead promoting and advancing that mental illness as a normal lifestyle option. The system is changing to classify this specific mental disorder as normal and accepted, pushing sexually confused men, women, and even children further into their sexual confusion.
Progressive parents are sadly nurturing this by administering hormone therapy to their children to delay puberty in preparation for gender reassignment surgery, buying them clothes that belong on the opposite sex, and even changing their legal names to conform to their child's confusion rather than nurturing and rearing them consistently with the gender that was assigned to them at birth.
I'm not a parent, but I know that kids have imaginations. I was a kid once. When I was about 7, I remember playing house with my sisters and their friends. I remember walking down the aisle (hallway) with my neighbor. We had all decided (imagined) that I was the husband. Should we have stopped at our imaginations? Should our parents have booked a venue, rented tuxedos and dresses, met with a jeweler, and invited all my friends from school?
Yeah... No.
Kids imagine. Kids imagine and even play games where they are a member of the opposite sex. Adults are usually (usually) more realistic. Should parents really promote imagination as reality? Apparently, many adults have great imaginations too, because that's exactly what they are doing when they promote the idea that a male can become a female or that a female can become a male: a physical, anatomical, sexual, reproductive, hormonal, emotional, relational, and societal impossibility. Yes. Impossibility.

I wholeheartedly agree with Darius' comment, as well as Matt Walsh's article, especially when Matt asserts that feminism and transgenderism cannot coexist. In fact, logically speaking, they should cancel each other out.
We've been lectured for decades now that looks, thoughts, and clothing don't make a woman, well, a woman. Suddenly, along comes a guy, who thinks he's a woman, who pays a great deal of money to acquire just the things we've been told are not what makes a woman, and he/she is considered a hero? No, that's not dichotomous at all.
Not long before I left work today, I heard something on the radio that sums up this entire situation perfectly:
"When we celebrate Bruce Jenner's "courage" we are also celebrating the death of objective truth, and making dysfunction acceptable - even admirable - merely on the basis of celebrity."
I don't think it gets any truer than that. ~ Hunter
