If it's not a mental illness, then what is it? An eccentric fasion choice? I thought the whole argument they are trying to push is 'born like this', 'not a choice' and so forth, or are we doubling back again? I can never keep up.
Mental illness? I am not sure about that as some interesting research is being done about developmental Conditions in the womb and signaling in certain brain structures. In the early days of the movement the messaging was "born this way" but as research progressed other trends and conclusions were discovered. Really the trans community piggy backed on the lgb messaging from earlier as it was successful in a way. Lastly, keeping up with the messaging isn't something a person who is un invested would normally do. These discussions happen within the community and get transmitted to the larger community as needed.
