Well, I'm glad we cleared that up.

Here's a comment I stole from someone about this very thing:

Between DSM IV and DSM V, when Gender Identity Disorder was renamed to Gender Dysphoria. The actual feeling of "thinking you're another gender" is called "Gender Dysphoria", and "transgender" individuals "transition" in order to treat "Gender Dysphoria."

Being transgender does not fall under a mental disorder because a mental disorder requires it to be statistically/socially abnormal and cause the person distress and stop them from doing normal things. For all intents and purposes, a person who as transitioned no longer has gender dysphoria, which means they don't have distress or problems doing normal activitives anymore. Hence, not mentally disordered.

In a similar vein (just as an example), a person who has depression and undergone treatment and is no longer distressed by it and is as capable as a normal person is not depressed. They had a mental illness before, they don't now.

They could be, but it doesn't disqualify from joining the military according to the military's own rules, partly because it is easily and cheaply treatable.

What made you decided to pursue a feature film, given that the majority of your content was previously tat reviews? (Not to nock the tat reviews, they are of course amazing.)

Who is the more handsome of the two of you, and why is it Ciaran?
