Based on your reply I went and read the entire, rather long actually, piece. Very disturbing. I did like what the one person said "You can say you're Napoleon but unless the whole world agrees with you, you patently are not Napoleon."
Yes, it's quite horrible, isn't it? One of the first posts summed it up nicely by describing these people as the victimes of mad scientists, and that's about the size of it. In no other area of psychiatric practice do disturbed people come into a shrink's office and say, "I'm Napoleon," and then the psychiatric community runs around and spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to feed the lunatic's belief that he is Napoleon; rather, they give him therapy and medication until he realizes that he is not Napoleon. In the case of transsexuals they are metaphorically helped to believe in and indulge their madness. I pity them in their misery and am filled with loathing for the vile "doctors" who do this to them.
So true.
Some things should go without saying.
