ENDA Protects Mental Disorders and Seeks To Silence People of Faith
Excerpt: "Gender identity" is also a flexible term. It refers to what a person "thinks" about himself or herself. Transgender activists claim that the federal government should provide them with specially-protected minority status because of how they "feel" about their gender. What gender identity actually refers to is what psychiatrists call a Gender Identity Disorder (GID). This is a mental condition that afflicts some individuals. These men and women think they're trapped in opposite sex bodies and must either dress in opposite sex clothing or engage in one of the worst forms of self-hatred - damaging their bodies by having them mutilated by surgical procedures. ... A "sex change" operation doesn't actually change a person's sex. It just alters their appearance. A woman is still a woman; a man is still a man. No surgery can change that biological fact.
