Star Trek: Discovery Nearly Cracks Pirate Bay's Top 10 In Less Than 24 Hours (ew.com)
Yesterday was the season premiere of the first new Star Trek TV series in 12 years. While the first episode aired on the CBS broadcast network Sunday night, the second episode -- and all the rest to come -- was made available exclusively on the CBS All Access streaming service for $6 a month. Naturally, this upset Trekkies and led many of them to find alternative methods to watch the show. EW reports that Star Trek: Discovery "is on the verge of cracking Pirate Bay's Top 10 most illegally downloaded shows in less than 24 hours." From the report: The Discovery pilot is currently at No. 11 on the list (apparently at No. 15 just a few hours ago), the pilot is up there with the likes of HBO's Game of Thrones, Adult Swim's Rick and Morty and, for some reason, TNT's The Last Ship. The show's second episode is at No. 17, which is a tad surprising as that was the one that wasn't free. Ever since the distribution plan was first announced fans have resisted with some vehemence the idea of paying for "yet another streaming service just to watch a single show" (there's more than one show on All Access, CBS is quick to point out, and then a debate over the relative merits of NCIS and MacGyver repeats ensues).
Star trek Discovery is available on Netflix in Europe.
Well, transexuals are mentally ill, by definition.
It is a mental illness, that's why it requires psychiatric counseling before you can get your junk cut or be put on any type of medication and so on. Argue all you want, but if a person has gender dysphoria or body integrity identity disorder aka amputee identity disorder you have a mental illness. There is no fundamental difference between the two besides the individual "wanting to have a part cut off" or "believing that they aren't the same sex as their body."
There's nothing "bad" about that. Except for the people who believe it isn't a psychiatric problem, and would dissuade people from getting proper treatment.

You seem to know nothing.
When young children say they are trans, they are supported to live as their correct gender but there is no medication or surgery. That only starts when they hit puberty, after they have been living as that gender for some years, and even then it takes many years of living as their correct gender and sticking to the hormone medication before surgery begins.
It's not something a person can simply decide one day because it's "trendy", it's something you have to commit to living with for years. And when they are only 10, living with it for 5 years is half their life.
Is it really so surprising that state healthcare covers well established medical conditions? Are you also outraged that it covers "non-essential" stuff like prosthetics for men who had testicular cancer? Or is it just that you think it's not a real condition, in which case why do you disagree with the majority of medical experts?

I seem to know nothing? Yet I can find plenty of examples of children under the age of 10 with parents pushing this on their kids as well. So can you, pick a search engine. You'll easily find those parents who're pushing their kids into it, show them off and "how proud they are" and so on. Not parents acting like a parent. Seems to me you know nothing on what's going on or that there's a push in this, that the media has made it into something trendy along with advocates of it.
That you can find news stories on those under-age kids not dressing up, not living their "correct gender." That those same kids who apparently "know they're the wrong gender" are legally unable to know the difference from right or wrong at the age of 10.

No, here's the thing. In our lovely socialized countries, a trans individual is being bumped to the top of the line for priority treatment while that person suffering from cancer is waiting a 1/3 of a year for treatment. They're also being bumped to the top of the line against that 40yr old worker with the torn out knee that's stopping them from going back to work and taking surgical time up in an already strained system. On top of that they're getting drug coverage, and covered by the state where the person who's on depression is paying out-of-pocket for their medication. Do you think any of that is reasonable, that a single person is granted preferential treatment vs more cases in a strained system?
You mean those same "majority of medical experts" that classify it as a mental illness which requires psychiatric treatment? Or the "experts" who turn around and claim that gender is whatever you're feeling like it is when you roll out of bed because that's also trendy?
Om, nomnomnom...
No it's not a mental illness. No more than being gay by definition.

Aspergers no longer exists. It is now part of the bigger Autism label in the DSM

Yeah it really is a mental illness. Unless you want to argue that the entire branch of psychology is wrong.
So let's roll with this: The "conscious self" says one thing, the physical body is saying something else. Will you now argue that someone who wants to cut off a part of their body to gain a disability doesn't have a mental illness? Is that not the very definition of a psychiatric problem?

Did not know this, but a quick google will confirm this.
