I don't think you have argued very well, here. Just minimally addressed some points, ignored others. >> Race and orientation is an immutable characteristic of the person. > That is no more true that it is of gender identity. Not an argument. Clever rejoinders will not convince people that mentally ill men should be in women's prisons or sports teams. You will have to actually engage with the concerns that people have. How do you deal with self-identification and predatory men going into women's locker rooms? Just denying that it could ever happen is not going to work. >> As yet, gender dysmorphia is recognized as a mental illness > So was homosexuality Not an argument. Declassifying homosexuality as a mental illness does not mean gender dysphoria is not. As for the rest, we literally do call that behavior mental illness. I'm fine with people doing whatever they want with their own bodies as long as their behavior doesn't impact other people. Taking female hormones, great. Taking female hormones and then insisting that everyone else perceive them as women is not.
