People need to stop the hate


People need to stop being so closed minded and simple minded. Actually talk with a transgendered person, you would see how much they go through and how much they are a typical man or woman, boy or girl. For those of you who say they are mentally ill, actually they are evaluated psychologically as they transition and have to before they start hormone therapy. And if you think they choose this, give that some serious thoughts. Why would someone choose to go through such a hard life? They have to worry about being attacked, harassed, they have to come out, they have to transition, its hard to find work, dating problems etc. So they already go through enough, yet you choose to say your idiotic comments and possibly hurt some of them some more, as if they don't go through enough. Congratulations, you hid behind a computer screen and probably contributed to someone's torment, I'm sure your very happy with yourself.

So your know more about mental health, than a mental health professional? Do you know how stupid that sounds, they are evaluated by them and these are actual psychologist they have to see. If they were mentally ill, they would not be given hormones. Whats next, your gonna say people diagnosed with cancer, are just depressed and just need to mediate?

How would know that? That is far from the truth and just some made up conspiracy theory. They actually are depressed before they start transitioning and it subsides after. For one, only 41% will ever attempt suicide in their life time. Two, they commit suicide because people like you torment them. Here's a actual fact:

"Researchers from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law found that the risk of attempting suicide was especially severe for transgender or gender nonconforming people who had suffered discrimination or violence, such as being physically or sexually assaulted at work or school.

Among transgender people who became homeless because of bias against their gender identity, 69% said they had tried to kill themselves. Out of those who had been turned away by a doctor because they were transgender or gender-nonconforming, 60% had attempted suicide sometime in their lives, the survey found.

Nearly two-thirds of respondents who were the victims of domestic violence at the hands of a family member had attempted suicide, the study also showed. Suicide attempts were less common among transgender and gender-nonconforming people who said their family ties had remained strong after they came out."

Their problem is people like you, so why don't you just leave them alone, how would you feel is someone was bullying you?

Or, perhaps you're the one with the mental disorder who needs help.

Emmalovesjared needs some enlightenment. Try to remember the day you "chose" to be straight. Never happened! It's not a choice - it's biological. So go educate yourself Emma and quit exposing your ignorance. I guess you know no gay people or any transgender people? Because if you rally did you would not make such ignorant comments. Unless you are Donald Trump?

I say that too, I hate when people say being LGBT is a choice. You just can't decide to be gay or transgender, you're born that way. Its such a simple thing, no one can remember when they chose to be straight because they never did. What I don't get is how someone can think, people chose to be gay or transgender. I mean friends of mine who are, worry about their safety. Then its extremely hard for them to come out, sometimes their family don't accept it, why on earth would someone choose that? Plus, whats the motivation?

It's a story as old as time itself:

Emma spends the rest of her life surrounded by cats, anonymously ranting against homosexuality on the internet.
