Transgender people lobbied to have the name changed, because they didn't like the "disorder" part.
but they only now make it an issue because they dont want to us to think about

Of course you intentionally ignore the reason behind it.
For years advocates have lobbied the American Psychiatric Association to change or remove categories labeling transgender people in a psychiatric manual, arguing that terms like “Gender Identity Disorder” characterize all trans people as mentally ill.

That is the main reason...
You do realize the name was changed only in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)- It is STILL a mental disorder, no matter what you call it.
If it is in the DSM, it is a mental disorder...

but they only now make it an issue because they dont want to us to think about, the NWO, child sex trafficking, burning off the forests, poising of the water and food, and brainwashing through tv and other media.(anyone else chime in if i missed somthing.)

Genitalia is not the issue. Someone who has gone full transition is still subject to arrest and prison.
It's what the birth certificate says.
It's a birther thing.
That's how idiotic it is.
Better change the DNA as well, cause until that is done no "full transition" has ever been done.
