“First off, it’s insulting,” Scheetz said. “To characterize people who are nonbinary and transgender as having a mental illness, essentially, which is what it does, to say that they're disabled mentally for being themselves, I think is just wrong.”
This is a weird take on things. It wasnt that long ago, when Democrats were all about de-stigmatizing mental illnessss, and yet here they are, stigmatizing a mental illness, by pretending its “insulting” to call a mental illness a mental illness.
Also, these people aren’t simply “being themselves”. They are desperately trying to be something they are not, and will never be,
which is fine, if they want to do that in the privacy of their own home, but they aren’t content to do that. They insist on “including” themselves in places where they aren’t wanted, and they insist that the entire world appease their demands, on everything from preferred neo-pronouns, to breast-feeding support groups.
mental illness = crippled worthless freak
