Mental illness is like any other illness. No it fucking isnt

Unless race or gender are also illnesses.

Biological differences related to worse clinical and social outcomes? Then race and gender are like physical illness.

The blind bleating herds who spout that jingoistic mantra use it to evoke the protections of physical illness. Those protections need to exist when society is malformed and doesn't understand that people can be a bit mental. That's normal except in a society which beluieves automotons, not humans, are normal.

These protections need to remain but not for this bullshit.

Or is homosexuality an illness just like any other fucking illness?
