“Transitioning = psycho paying a crackpot surgeon to amputate his genitalia.”
Just shows how far society has fallen. An un-desensitized ‘innocent’ person could read that article and reasonably think that Bruce is ‘transitioning’ from a carrer in sports to becoming an actor. But no, almost all of (moral) society now knows the term as described by your definition.
In 20 years, if our civilization endures that long (doubtful), we will look back in horror at how the medical establishment bowed to the altar of political correctness and engaged in butchering people with mental issues concerning their gender identity.
It will be seen as worse than widespread ECT and lobotomies.
Unless Jenner has the chromosomes for a female, he is simply mentally ill. The "woman in a man's body" situation is real, but **exceedingly** rare.
99.99%+ of these people getting sex change surgery are just mentally ill.
The bigger question is, what kind of society surgically MUTILATES its MENTALLY ILL members? This is no different than drilling a hole into the prefrontal lobe, shoving in a wire whisk and scrambling the brain, as was once considered a proper and ethical treatment.
One wonders what all of those cheering on the surgical sexual mutilation of these sick people would say to doing that instead? No real difference IMO. Those so in favor of this are themselves nothing more than ignorant barbarians.
