I ain't tryin to piss off any trans or w/e i don't really care as they are what? like .3% of the population? I am just curious why it's so taboo to label them as mentally ill it personally wouldn't lessen my desire to see them get help in any way they can. The only time i have ever felt uncomfortable around a trans person was when i was high as fuck pickin up jack in the box at the drive through and the person had lipstick/long hair/painted nails and a fucking massive beard and effeminate voice with a god damn gender neutral name like casey and i didn't know if i should say "thanks man" or not.
