In your opinion, is someone going through a transition considered them putting themselves through a mental illness by choice?

If you would say these people already have a mental illness, and are just choosing the wrong solution for it, what do you mean by “mental illness should not be condoned?” How would someone go about solving their problem?

Reading a peaceful, harmless story and somehow calling that mental sounds indeed like someone not right in the head would say.

Ignorance is a mental illness, get help. Unless you’re just a bigot in which case find the nearest woodchipper and hop in!
