I saw a “short” on YT; it was an elderly psychiatrist with a foreign accent. He said “transgenderism is the only mental illness that requires society to accept its delusions as a therapeutic measure.”
He said it somewhat better than that, but that was his meaning.
Thomas Sowell has a similar quote that really good.
Exactly. When a delusional schizophrenic goes about claiming to be Jesus or Julius Caesar or Michael Jackson, he receives treatment - behavioral or medication - to attempt to restore his sense of reality. The rest of society isn't expected to humor the lunatic's belief that he's Jesus or Julius Caesar.
In contrast, if an equally delusional man goes around claiming that he's a woman trapped in a man's body, society is supposed to indulge and even share in his delusional thought patterns.
Of course transsexuals are mentally unstable and potentially dangerous - those with delusional beliefs often are. They're even more dangerous when their delusions are indulged rather than treated.
