Maybe something like transsexualism is technically a "disorder" but who gives a fuck. If a guy feels like he should be a girl, then why not let him be a girl? It's a victimless act.

It's not quite victimless when it has an impact on loved ones. 

 Oh please.  They aren't victims, they're intolerant.

So if a man/woman

1. Meets a girl/guy

2. Falls in love with her/him

3. Ends up marrying her/him

4. Has a number of children with her/him

5. Spends a good portion of his/her adult years with her/him

he/she's intolerant if s/he one day springs the news that's s/he's transgendered and wants to have a sex change operation, emotionally devastating him/her in the process? 

Sure, I don't think we can blame the spouse for being emotionally devastated, but at the end of the day, it's still the same person, no? Maybe they'll no longer be physically attracted to their spouse, but compassionate love isn't really about physical attraction, is it?
