Well that's the crux of the topic isn't it.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 08/03/2017 05:48:50 PM

They believe something which does not conform with the reality of the situation. They may feel that they are a woman, but their genetics and their body says otherwise. They may feel black, but their genetics and their body says otherwise. To another individual, they may feel/perceive "Fat" or "too heavy", but their body says otherwise.

Come on man...don't get in a huff and walk away. You very well may be perceiving that I'm in an argumentative state. I'm not. I'm very much trying to gain a measure of understanding of why we choose to view one as an illness and the other as not. So far, the best that someone has been able to articulate is that the harm is minimal and they want it real bad.

Mind over Matter? Jeordam - 07/03/2017 09:06:53 PM 802 Views
Mind over body might've been more apt. I believe I did answer your question actually. Legolas - 07/03/2017 10:41:01 PM 905 Views
Let's be clear.... Jeordam - 07/03/2017 11:17:02 PM 785 Views

That takes us right back to body vs mind, doesn't it? Legolas - 08/03/2017 07:13:32 PM 769 Views
Well that would be the difference... Jeordam - 08/03/2017 08:54:59 PM 827 Views
So do tell me what in fact the purpose of our discussion is, then? Legolas - 08/03/2017 09:40:09 PM 767 Views
What can I possibly say? Jeordam - 09/03/2017 05:45:54 PM 770 Views

I feel like this has been said several times already, in several ways Sareitha Sedai - 10/03/2017 04:10:27 PM 766 Views
