Ah the true and tired "this is why you lost" routine. I'm an independent voter who lies firmly in the middle but thank you for assuming. Trumps fiscal policies actually benefit my family and I but I'm not blind to the far-reaching implications of his cabinet picks or his being unfit to be leader of the free world.
Trump won because of pandering to the white middle-class, christian, and far-right vote while the democratic party ignored the white middle-class and sabotaged a good but questionable candidate in favor of someone with baggage who was highly disliked.
What do you want me to acknowledge or legitimize? That your outdated views based off of hand-me-down family values which are influenced heavily by Christianity are somehow okay in this day and age and that you're somehow a victim? That the right spends entirely way too much time in other peoples bedroom when they should be focusing on actual fiscal conservative policies rather than policies that line the pocket of the rich? That there is no factual data that showed an increase in bathroom related crimes during Obama's term or all the issues they claimed they would have in the military when DADT was being repealed, yet there were no issues whatsoever?
You can only be dishonest so many times about your actual intentions and can claim victim-hood about your issues not being legitimized so many times until people get sick of it mate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

How did you manage to completely ignore the part that specifically and actually says that being transgendered is not a mental disorder? And then make a house-of-cards argument that "it doesn't not say that they're not not disordered....."
"It doesn't say they don't recognize being trans as a disorder." What a crock. It also doesn't say that cows aren't cars or rollercoasters. What does pointing out the negative space in a paragraph have to do with anything? It doesn't say you should eat lettuce tonight for dinner either... It also doesn't not not say that straight people are mentally ill. I mean it's just a ridiculous device to use to try and make an argument.
It's simply saying that society and social stigma can impose significant stress on a transgendered person's life. Or a homosexual persons life who it also doesn't say aren't disordered, so would you like to assert that homosexuals are mentally ill as well? Skip down to the part where the APA directly says they aren't, much like with transgendered people. Misreading something talking about exogenous stressors as validation of something as a mental illness... sorry, you've made an error somewhere along the thought train.
Gender dysphoria is something intellectually independent from being trans... so no, this isn't your field of study. Or maybe it is but you're still on page one. Keep turning.

I don't know. Democrats were fellating themselves hard after gay marriage and claiming they were the good party. I mean. Why would you want to be in the racist, sexist Hitler party?
Republicans were stupid for calling Obama a socialist. But we've entered glass houses now.
