More and more and more evidence almost every day for mental institutions to be opened back up, if not JUST for this type of mental illness to protect the public. What a sorry government we have at all levels.

trans people are indeed nutcases.

when I was a preschool girl, I absolutely loved my dad, stole his slippers and ran around the house, loved to watch him shave, sat in his chair after he left wor work, etc etc. wanted to be just like him.

but slice off all my girl parts and petend to be a man? would never occur to me.

Unfortunately, you have to put some of the blame on Reagan.

AI
President Ronald Reagan did not sign legislation to directly end mental hospitals, but his actions as both Governor of California and U.S. President significantly accelerated the emptying of psychiatric institutions. [1, 2]
As Governor of California, he signed the landmark Lanterman-Petris-Short Act of 1967. This bipartisan legislation established strict legal standards for involuntary commitment, essentially ending the indefinite institutionalization of mental health patients unless they were deemed a danger to themselves or others. [2, 3]
Later, as President, he signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981. This legislation repealed the federal Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 and converted federal mental health funding into block grants. By significantly cutting funding and transferring the responsibility for care to the states—many of which never built the promised community-care infrastructure—this policy shift contributed heavily to mass deinstitutionalization, widespread homelessness, and the incarceration of mentally ill individuals. [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
