I wonder if some of the media outlets are doing a Fuck You.
On all the headlines this morning are about NZ not being allowing to name the (suspected) killer, however it is posted online on international media Basically telling anyone how easy it is to find who the person is. |

Well he didn't get suppression initially, the judge declined it. The current suppression is interim only until it's re-litigated next year. So yeah, pretty much.

|
Yeah, I seriously doubt he will get permanent name suppression.

I don't think it's classified as a mental illness anymore.
So just 'transgender man' gives birth.

Transition aside, they are on anxiety meds and have "four-hour long panic attacks".
So label still fits regardless.

Gee I wonder if significant stress associated with gender nonconformity mostly develops due to the way they are treated? It can't be very good for your mental health to be subject to discrimination, stigma, lack of acceptance, and abuse throughout society and on a regular basis.

They might be happier afterwards. Doesn't mean that those people aren't mentally ill. And if such a person has a baby before having her leg cut off, she doesn't get to say "oh I was always an amputee on the inside, therefore the baby was born to an amputee". Well, I mean, she could say that, but it would be nonsense. |

I’m not sure that you can lump together all types of psychological distress people have about their bodies. Different psychological distress has interventions ranging from counselling, cosmetic surgery to amputation. Whether peoples decisions negatively affect themselves or others is relevant, and I don’t think someone pursuing medical assistance to change their sexual characteristics to match their gender identity does.
As mentioned earlier, it’s determined by the DSM–5 that there’s nothing inherently wrong with not identifying with the gender traditionally associated with sex so I don’t see why getting a harmless procedure to resolve psychological distress should mean people are judged to be nutty.

DSM-5 is the standard classification of mental disorders used by mental health professionals in the USA. It's a descriptive classification, not a definitive one. It changes from time to time. For example, Asperger Syndrome no longer exists under DSM-5. It's now just part of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

So, when I read that Scout Barbour-Evans voluntarily had her breasts amputated and was on anxiety and sleep medication and having four-hour panic attacks, I -- a layman -- feel perfectly comfortable describing her as a woman suffering from a mental disorder. If in trying to deal with her mental disorder she decides to live life as a man, I hope he then has a productive stable life and fulfils his duties as a dad. That will not change the fact that Scout was a woman with a mental disorder who became a mother. |

You were right the first time: it makes her mentally ill.

Might have to agree to disagree.
People can be transgender and voluntarily have their breasts amputated and not be diagnosed as mentally ill. It can only become classified as mental illness when their condition is ‘associated with clinically significant distress or impairment’. Yes, in this case there is that association. My point is that it’s the associated psychological distress that makes it an illness and to a large extent this stress is induced by societal stigma.

Campsites: I couldn’t t help but not notice parallels between them and what pockets of society would be like in a post-apocalyptic future.
Entrance fees. At first everyone was just happy for extra company but the entrance fees have become a standard thing and are getting more and more expensive as time goes on. Safety in numbers. Just don’t leave your shit unattended or it’s guaranteed to be swiped. All walks of life are accepted and are guaranteed to participate. There will be a self-appointed unofficial or official leader who probably won’t have the support of the majority but most people are just ... happy campers and don’t care for the politics. People die and get injured. Keep away from the rocky cliff faces no matter their attraction when swimming underneath them. People are generally awesome but bad eggs will ruin the fun. Good news is that the bad eggs don’t hang around for long. There’s no noise control. You’re going to need to learn to love the noise that comes with the territory. Communication with the outside world is patchy or nonexistent.

What kind of cynical are we? That she's chosen the opportune moment, or that together they're using a divorce to somehow leverage their position? Maybe a bit of both?

This is basically what one of the ENRON executives did. He divorced his wife for a stripper. The courts forced the sale of his stocks, and he couldn't be accused of using inside information to sell early because technically the courts made him do it.

Alexa won't say "niggers", "camel" or "jockeys", but is quite happy to say "jews", "crackers", "rednex". She thinks you say "books" when you make Asian slurs. However, "ching chang chinaman" is appropriate.
I just wanted to hear Killa Hill Niggas, but her response led me down a path of racist curiosity.
