I used to think transgenders are mentally ill before I started college, and my professor explained to me exactly what transgenderism is.
Transgender people know they are biologically one sex, but their mind more closely matches the other sex's mind when based on social constructs of what a male or female mind should be like.
For example, a stereotypical American male likes to watch football on Saturday nights while drinking beer.
A typical female may prefer to bake a cake or go shopping at the mall.
If you're a male who prefers the latter, your mind doesn't match society's definition of what a male should be like. Hence, you may choose to identify as transgender.
That's essentially it. It's definitely not a mental illness.
This fucking thread again? You copypasta assholes constantly give me deja vu. Try harder.

No, it means that if you think the other gender better suits you, you are free to identify as transgender.

I ride horses and don't watch football.
How do I castrate myself?

They believe gender is a social construct.... and to prove that.... they transition into these social gender stereotypes? Wait what? Their politics is enough to classify them as mentally ill. Idk how most of them are ugly and out of shape, they do so many mental gymnastics.

That's up to you to decide. Some transgender people want to make a full transition into the opposite gender. Others just want to be known as the opposite gender while carrying the genitals of their biological sex.
