god damn it user one fucking job.

Simple, you're an idiot confusing mental illness with legal responsibility.
Mentally ill trannies have a right to guns. (SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED)
Whether or not it would be wise for them to exercise that right is the question at hand. That decision will have to be up to them on an individual basis.
I kind of want t take this class just to shitpost it IRL.

>Be me
How do you know? Prove it.
>Believe that marginalised groups need guns more than a middle class suburban white man
I don't like the way you put it. All groups should be armed but if you belong to a group that's more likely to be a victim you should consider it a priority. I hope you don't think there's more white on black violence than black on white because you'd be very wrong.
>But also believe that mentally ill people shouldn't have access to firearms
Okay, but there is a problem of who defines mentally ill. You shouldn't always trust what politicians claim even when they cite whatever "professionals" they found who conviently agree with them. Sure, that would give the definition more merit but stay skeptical when speaking of taking rights away.
>The T in LGBT is a mental illness; gender dysphoria is a an actual disorder that can be treated with medication and allowing people to physically change their bodies to fit what they believe they look like is as bad as just letting cancer patients die because you didn't remove a tumor
I'm not going to argue that even half of trannies aren't mentally ill one way and the other half in several ways at a time but that is a false equivalent. If you were to say not giving medication to treat their mental disorder (instead of medication to change their bodies to their disorder's perverse will as you said) is as bad as letting cancer patients die it would work.
>Also believe transgender people need guns
Probably, the best person to rely on for defending yourself is only you.
I consider myself far right-wing, I don't associate with anyone from that group, but I will never support taking someone's rights away without due process. A trans individual should have the ability to arm themselves until they prove they are not mentally competent to on an individual level. I have my own definition of what that would be though.
If you think it's a good idea for mentally ill people to own firearms then you're an autist who can only think in black and white terms and you should receive counseling for your aspergers
You sound exactly like the "THE ASSAULT WEAPONS ARE BABY KILLER GUNS" crowd
Did you just ignore my entire post? So you agree that you should be denied your right to a free trial, right to free speech, etc. just because you visited a therapist once? Is that what you're saying?
You can't arbitrarily strip people of their rights without due process you literal Nazi
>>The T in LGBT is a mental illness; gender dysphoria is a an actual disorder
This is something thrown around a lot, and it's only half true. Gender dysphoria IS a real mental disorder - that's the truth. The untruth is the implication that gender dysphoria is a synonym for transgedered - it's not. Not every transgendered person experiences gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is psychological anguish stemming from your body not matching your identity - not everyone feels this way. In fact, rates are higher in countries that are less accepting of transgendered people. You can see the cruel irony at work with this common misconception.
(And the most effective treatment for gender dysphoria is transitioning followed by extensive counseling - medication does NOT treat the underlying disorder, and transitioning WITHOUT counseling has zero positive impact, and is the reason why many people think transitioning doesn't work at all. The two components MUST be used in tandem to be effective.)
Furthermore, mental illness as a whole should not bar people from owning firearms. Why would it? If they're more prone to violence or unable to make rational decisions, that's one thing - look at the man with schizophrenia who killed Chris Kyle. He existed in another world and thought Kyle was a demon trying to peel his skin off. But people with anxiety, for instance, are less prone to violence than normal people - so why should they not be allowed to own firearms? They're less likely to use it in anger than YOU are, because they're more likely to avoid and flee conflict.
Greater understanding of the topics at hand leads to better policy and advocacy. Good on you for wanting to know more.
