    I know this is looked down upon but sometimes maybe they do, but you got to realize sometimes they have some kind of hormone imbalance. Is it normal??? NO. but I believe that in a free country you can do whatever want if it's not harming anyone and I won't judge as long as you are not a jerk. There is a transgender person that is a customer at my store and is a very nice person and I bs with the individual all the time. What I do have a problem with is wack jobs that give kids hormonal stuff.

    No.

    Being LGBT is a congenital condition. (developed before birth) Science is finding more evidence for it, every day.

    "Do Transgenders have a mental illness?"

    Nope.

    Transsexualism is not a mental illness, not a choice or fad and not a result of bad parenting or demon possession.

    Transsexualism (gender identity-body mismatch) is a physical birth condition.

    Transsexualism is when a person is born with a gender identity in the brain that does not match the sex of their body. This leads to a life of pain and misery until the affected person can transition (aka "sex change") to affirm their inborn gender identity.

    Not necessarily, but it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

    Yes, gender dysphoria is a mental illness. Trans people simply attempt to cure it with gender correction.
