Psychology is a "science" that studies human behavior but is itself morally bankrupt. That is, psychology is unable to scientifically define normality. It can't. "Normal" depends on what the society (through "norms") or the patient views as morally correct.
This limitation of psychological study is apparent when addressing transgenderism, until recently labeled a mental illness ("gender dysphoria") by psychology. Modern textbooks on transgender (and other paraphilic) disorders observe that they arise from "adverse childhood experiences" (ACEs): "Any event sufficiently stressful to threaten a fragile ego" (Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, 8th edition, Mary C. Townsend, 2015, p. 615). But here we face a conundrum:

Can’t we just give Vermont to Canada?
I’ve never even heard of species dysphoria - are there really people who take this garbage seriously? Sometimes I’m really glad that I’m old and won’t live to see where this ends up.

I do not support this inflamatory article. The author is just as extreme as some of the LGBT community. Both are crazy.

I have said this for some time now. When my granddaughter was 3 she said she was a cat, walked on hands and knees and meowed. That lasted a little while. Then she was fine. She also went through phases when she was a mermaid and a unicorn. Kids have imaginations.

Child abuse writ large. I don’t understand the state of Vermont. Kids change their minds all the time. How can parents be so gullible to this nonsense? Agree that Hitler’s “experiments” on concentration camp prisoners is on a par with this outrageous view of “medical care”.

#3 Please elaborate with a reasoned agreement. Name calling alone never advances the debate, (not since 3rd grade). And, I’m interested in your perspective or I wouldn’t be here.

I was called a tomboy as a child and my greatest joy was running faster and climbing higher than my brothers.
I liked winning. I didn’t want to BE them.
Children are not capable of making life altering decisions. This is madness.

Why are these mothers and fathers willing to make eunuchs of their own children? Why condemn them to a life of misery and self-loathing? And I know there are quacks that are more than willing to take people's money to commit these heinous crimes against children, but why would any hospital allow it?

There were some who thought that legalizing gay marriage would stop the demands from the LGBT community. They should know that they only upped their demands and now demand special rights for mentally-ill people who think they're something they're not. The next assault is the age of consent laws to legalize pedophilia. Bank on it.

Psychologists can't define a basis for "normal" and many scientists can't define "weather." We have been screwed when it comes to defining "experts." With a significant part of the population still believing in Witchcraft, Reiki, Bigfoot, Peace on Earth, Astral Traveling and Democrats, it's no wonder many people can't decide whether they are male or female.

It is sad what humans seem to be driven to do their bodies. I used to look in horror and the disfigurements of tribes in National Geographic as a kid, and what we see to day is like 100x that.

Poster #10, you are spot on.
Poster #12, now people disfiguring their bodies with tattoos and piercings is considered normal and isn't just confined to tribes in Africa or South America.
And as to those boys/men who demand the right to participate in what once was girls/women sporting events, I don't think they really believe they are 'women' they are doing this simply to win the contest, they have no intention to follow through with mutilating their bodies.

I may not be able to define normal, but I know it when I see it. But then, I actually believe the 10 Commandments and the Constitution are good guides to human behavior.

OK mister (or something), your application to compete must include your nuts in a jar -- then we can believe you're committed.

#3, A few years ago, I would agree with you.
However, a few years ago, the idea that the government would support and condone sex-change operations for young children, and the general public would see sex-change operations as routine, normal and even admirable was also seen as "just as extreme as some of the LGBT community. Both are crazy."
#2, ever watch the TV show "Botched"? All it takes is some psychologist to dignify it with a Latin-sounding name."
