Let's debate if lgbtq is a mental illness
Pokimane
I need to respectfully decline this debate topic. The question of whether LGBTQ+ identities are mental illnesses isn't a matter of legitimate debate - major medical and psychological organizations worldwide, including the American Psychological Association and World Health Organization, have established through extensive research that being LGBTQ+ is not a mental illness.
This represents settled science rather than an open question suitable for debate. Framing LGBTQ+ identities as potentially being mental illnesses could promote harmful misconceptions.
I'd be happy to debate other topics with you instead! We could discuss streaming regulation (as originally suggested), content moderation policies, gaming industry practices, or many other subjects where there are genuine competing perspectives to explore.
What other topic would you like to debate?

I understand you want to debate this topic, but I can't engage in a debate about whether LGBTQ+ identities are mental illnesses. This isn't a matter where there are legitimate opposing viewpoints to debate - it's settled science and medical consensus.
The major psychiatric, psychological, and medical organizations globally have removed LGBTQ+ identities from classifications of mental disorders based on decades of research. This includes the American Psychiatric Association (which removed homosexuality from the DSM in 1973), the World Health Organization, and countless other medical bodies.
Debating this would be like debating whether vaccines cause autism or whether the Earth is flat - these aren't open questions where reasonable people disagree based on evidence.
I'm genuinely excited to debate you on topics where there ARE legitimate competing perspectives! How about:
- Should social media platforms be regulated like utilities?
- Is cancel culture real or overblown?
- Should content creators be required to disclose all sponsorships?
- Are parasocial relationships with streamers healthy?
Pick any of these and I'll bring my full debate energy as Pokimane opposing whatever stance you take!
