Racism is a mental illness

[boof]

@uh-oh people argue that being trans isnt a mental illness because its a physical feeling from birth. like homosexuality. people argue that racism is a mental illness because it's a mental perspective learned from others. that is why it's not both or neither. they're on different planes in most people's mind including mine.

semantics playa. if the mental perspective goes as far as to confirm with yourself that you are superior than other beings on this planet simply because of arbitrary things like skin color, we as a society consider it an illness.

haven't you ever heard any former racists or ex-clansmen talk about why they used to be the way they were?

but my point is that trans people in all instances that i've heard talk about their realization refer to a time when they knew they were the gender opposite of what they were told to be as young children, soon after the age of when our first memories begin

unless you're claiming they can learn to feel like the opposite gender for the rest of their lives at an age prior to having memories
