So cross dressing means a man is insane. Nice message, but I did not know you agreed with that message.

That is because you are a bozo yourself.

If there was a 2020 sitcom about someone drafted into the US Army wanting to get discharged with a section 8 without being prosecuted by a military court, what kind of things would the draftee try? A sitcom, remember.

Cool, you support classifying cross dressing as a mental disorder.

So you have no problem with cross dressing being accepted as a mental disorder?

"Support" it?

Where did you get that idea from?

@Very-Rusty

Sure I do. He just likes to live in a pretend land and claim that it is reality.

He can do that but it just makes him a Bozo, impossible to have a useful discussion.

A useful history lesson

First published in 1968, DSM-II (the second edition of the American classiifcation of mental disorders) listed homosexuality as a mental disorder. In this, the DSM followed in a long tradition in medicine and psychiatry, which in the 19th century appropriated homosexuality from the Church and, in an élan of enlightenment, promoted it from sin to mental disorder.

In 1973, the American PsychiatricAssociation (APA) asked all members attending its convention to vote on whether they believed homosexuality to be a mental disorder. 5,854 psychiatrists voted to remove homosexuality from the DSM, and 3,810 to retain it.

Here is more

Section 8 discharge was often given to homosexuals, bisexuals, cross-dressers and transgender people as they were deemed mentally unfit to serve in the military. A Section 8 discharge often made it difficult for people to find work in civilian life and did not allow veterans benefits.

So you support watching shows that promotes the idea that cross dressers are unfit to serve in the military.
