I can believe I'm Richard the Lionheart reincarnated, that doesn't make it fact.

Or any less crazy
[QUOTE=(Hephaestus);39985078]Yes, that is the point I was making about acceptance. I was not suggesting that those afflicted by gender dysphoria were nonexistent until recently - just the opposite, in fact. I believe that the rise of gender dysphoria can also be linked to the decline of adequate mental health in America.[/QUOTE]
is this a snippet from a satirical book you're writing, because that's a safer bet
i honestly can't tell if you're being serious or not from how outrageously negative you are acting towards people

No, its because people are starting to be themselves because they meet other people like them and tend to come out more. Same reason why gay and bisexuality is on the rise. Thats not even counting the acceptance and more open mindedness in the later generations.

This is the cover to the revised version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, fourth edition. I would like you to [I]shut up[/I] and read this book- [I]cover to cover[/I]- before you continue. The book has some very glaring faults and problems, but the knowledge contained within it is certainly better than what you know about mental illness right now.
That is to say, absolutely [B]nothing[/B].
Note (Hephaestus)'s join date and his post count. Please people, you are throwing wood into a fire here. This guy is clearly attempting to pull our chains.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;39985195]I find it a little funny that this is coming from a guy that only has 12 posts. :v:[/QUOTE]
Well, truth comes from the strangest of places.

I don't think that expressing a moderately conservative opinion makes him an instatroll.

Or, better suggestion, just shut up completely. Thanks.

because both sides of the argument have their ups and downs, right

It just seems a bit strange to dig up an old topic, place some of your first posts there, and have them be controversial in nature. Especially considering facepunch is known to be fairly relaxed on social issues.

Someone else bumped the thread, our new bigot friend just piped in with their awful opinion.
[QUOTE=(Hephaestus);39984578]Bigotry is inherently destructive, stemming from irrational emotions such as fear and hatred, and incompatible with modern society. I am not a bigot. I do, however, personally find the theory of 'transgenderism' invalid and distasteful.[/QUOTE]
Theory? Please do some research before projectile vomiting bullshit from your mouth.

I don't think that I committed this fallacy
Okay they're banned we can all shut up and let this travesty die now
[QUOTE=Zeke129;39984950]I mean protons and neutrons together in a nucleus?
disgusting an unnatural[/QUOTE]
Well I mean a neutron doesn't have charge, so there's nothing really too scary about that. A helium nucleus with two nucleons of the same charge on the other hand... just terrible.

I respect what you're doing but I find it hard to trust the DSM these days after the whole [URL="http://feministing.com/2012/12/18/actually-trans-people-are-still-labeled-as-disordered-in-the-dsm-v/"]"Transvestic Fetishism"[/URL] thing.

Yeah, no, I agree completely. It's one of the main things I meant by "glaring faults". Not understanding mental illness was just the thing that irritated me more about his post, and the DSM at least provides a [I]competent[/I] understanding.
This article is really fucking old
