WHAT DOES THE LEGAL AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY CONCLUDE? “…
Legal protection against discrimination based on mental illness is not provided for any other disorder. Those who wish to assume a “gender identity” contrary to their biological sex are in need of mental health treatment to overcome such disturbed thinking, not legislation to affirm it.“Gender identity” legislation endangers the physical and mental health of the very people it is trying to protect. Physically mutilating the mentally ill is not the answer. For example, will healthy limb amputation, another mental disorder known as Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), be the next protected class?
(See Newsweek story:
Nor should we encourage men and women to consume life-long hormones in a daily battleto overcome their natural biology. Hormones cannot change the chromosomes that determine one’s sex. Abolishing gender and making believe it doesn’t really matter for the rest of the populationis also not the answer.One goal sought by gay groups is to ensure that transgenders of all types have legal accessto the public bathroom of their choice, regardless of their actual birth sex http://www.transgenderlawcenter.org/pdf/PIP%20Resource%20Guide.pdf T
his canmake public bathrooms and dressing rooms unsafe for women and children. It is a huge step backwards for women’s rights. After disrupting their bodies with radical surgery and hormone pills, transgenders approachPFOX for help in leaving the transgender lifestyle. They need funds for gender affirmingtherapy, reversal surgery, and breast explants
.
If legislators want to protect transgenders,they can start by giving them the therapy they need

Transsexualism and the Binary Divide: Determining Sex Using Objective Criteria
” (
).Assesses every decided case in the USA to 2006 to pronounce on the legal morass … based ondeception and highly questionable “science” … that the GLBT-community deliberately induces inits strategy to attack creation-structures such as sex, marriage, manhood, womanhood. “… Whether sex is immutable or transitory, objective or subjective, has nowbecome an international concern. This article addresses every case in the worldevery decided on this issue. The resolution is centrally important to the battleover marriage and sex-based classifications.The thesis of this article is that sex is an immutable characteristic at the time of birth and must be determined by objective criteria.Sex must be determined by objective factors such as biology and physiology. Aperson's sex is determined bychromosomes. When there is harmony betweenbiology and physiology, surgery cannot alter a person's sex merely because thatperson desires a different gender. If sex is primarily a state of mind and based onsubjective mental desires, equal protection for sex-based classifications becomesmeaningless. To maintain any stability and meaning to sex-based classification,sex must (and can) be determined by objective factors….”

Q&A on Gender Identity Confusion -- Sexual Behavior Disorders”;(http://www.pfox.org/Q&A-gender-identity-confusion.pdf
)
The literature is clear about the medical/mental-health basis of the “transgender” condition!Definitions: “… The term
Transgender
is an umbrella term that includes
transvestism
and
transsexualtiy
. Medical professionals acknowledge that a Transgender conditionis a Gender Identity Disorder (GID). Gay activists purport that gender identity isdefined by how a person
feels at any given moment
.
Cross-dressers or transvestites
comprise the most numerous transgendergroup. Cross-dressers wear the clothing of the other sex. They vary in howcompletely they dress (from one article of clothing to fully cross-dressing) as wellas in their motives for doing so. Some cross-dress to express cross-genderfeelings or identities; others cross-dress for fun, for emotional comfort, or forsexual arousal. The great majority of cross-dressers are biological males, most of whom are sexually attracted to women.
Transvestism
involves an emotional need that requires a male to wear femaleattire to meet a sexual need or reduce one's anxiety. “Transvestism is not justcross-dressing’
Transvestic Fetishism -
- intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, orbehaviors involving cross-dressing.
Transsexuals
are transgender people who live or wish to live full time asmembers of the gender opposite to their birth sex.
Transsexuality
and
Transvestic Fetishism
are all chosen or compulsivebehaviors -- not genetics. They are no different from smoking, alcoholism, drugaddiction or other self-destructive behaviors. They are not a fixed identity…”

Is transsexuality biologically determined?
“…the language used about homosexuality or transsexuality (mainlyby media people) becomes slippery and practically dishonest. Typically, a scientific study is quoted which etc. (The actual strengthof the link is almost never mentioned.) This link is taken to show thattranssexuality has “a biological basis”, or “is biological”, or “isgenetic”, or “is due to hormones”. The implication then taken from thisequivocal use of language is that the condition is biologicallydetermined, whereas in all cases the evidence shows nothing of thekind and most of those with the physiological condition described donot become transsexual. Those conditions therefore are no more thanminor influences. If they were major influences we would alreadyunderstand unequivocally the origin of transsexuality in all cases. Wedon’t. More of these studies come out every year, get misreported, andthe gap between what scientists really think and what the activistbelieves, becomes larger every year. Thus there are studies on enzymic or hormonal abnormalities, physicaldexterity, auditory phenomena, psychological profiles (Dörner,Poppe,Stahl, Kölzsch & Uebelhack, 1991;Bosinski, Peter, Bonatz,Arndt,Heidenreich, Siffell & Wille, 1997) The outstanding feature of thesestudies is little consistency - no obvious single cause and only minorlinks…”
