They are mentally ill. That does not mean they should face discrimination, but they are still mentally ill. It has always been a mental disorder, but the current zeitgeist claims otherwise by forcing the change from "gender identity disorder" to "gender dysphoria" in the attempt to normalize the illness (for political reasons). I don't agree. They need help and compassion.
This is not bigotry. Really, you are the bigot as you are intolerant to my opinion on this matter. That is the textbook definition of bigotry.
No bigotry was called out in my OP, re-read it.
Actually you're stating your opinion as a fact. I'm simply stating that in my opinion, your lack of understanding of the trans person's situation, and that you're simply writing it off as mental illness, is a bigoted way of thinking. You're entitled to your opinion. As is pilot. As am I. It doesn't mean that those opinions cannot be perceived as bigotry. If it does mean that, then your original post is bigoted towards pilot because you're intolerant of his opinion of you. Which we both know is ridiculous.
