If being gay/trans isn't a psychiatric illness, then what's "normal?"

It did.
And for a period of time during and after the civil war, medical journals said that since slaves had decreased lung capacity, that it was beneficial for them to be slaves, since it kept them outside in the fresh air.
And Freud thought that if you smoke a cigar, you wanted a d**k in your mouth.
Thoughts change. -

First, this might shock you, but both Trans and gays can reproduce! Some even do!
But
in our curtain society reproduction doesn't determine whether or not a relationship is normal or valid. If that were the case, old people dating and getting married would be looked down upon.
Secondly, homosexuality is seen all through-out history and in thousands of species. It's seen so frequently and consistantly it's easy to conclude that it's a natural variation of sexuality. That's exactly why it was removed as a "mental illness". That along with the fact that being gay doesn't have any negative effect on a persons life like bi-polar or schitzophrenia.
Lastly, who cares? It's been proven time and time again that you cannot change someone's orientation. If they're a dude and like dicks, or a woman who likes the puss, more power to them. It's no less normal or abnormal than using a condom or getting a blowjob durring sex, especially if your guide to being "normal" is that sex is meant for reproduction.
I really don't get why this is even still being discussed. Gay people are gay. Who cares?
As for Trans, that's quite different, so
personally
I wouldn't even lump the two together. But that's me.

Hey genius, everyone knows that. I was actually making a comment about your obvious struggle with your own sexuality.
There's probably a pretty good chance that you crave the penis. That's fine. No judgements from me. Just sayin.

Never said it was a good idea.
But thinking that the gay community is responsible for the spread is ludicrous.
It ran through the gay community because the Reagan administration thought it was just a Gay Disease and didn't take action to educate people. -

What he said is completely accurate. For the longest time there was almost no information on aids, how it was spread, etc. Once they started figuring it out, it was labled a gay disease which lead to a lot of ignorance on the subject. Women thought they couldn't get it. Drug users thought they were safe. No one knew they could get it through blood transfusions. There was a lot of misinformation and there still is.
I know you think you're all knowing because you watched a documentary on netflix.. but
