It IS scary. A bureaucrat could determine you are mentally unfit, for example, if you do not celebrate homosexuality. Then you disappear.
I have Chrons Disease. Back in the late 70s before it was understood, and as a child, I had a room full of ‘medical professionals’ try to get me to ‘admit’ that my abdominal pains were the result of ‘mommy hitting you’.
Several surgeries, one flatline and a lifetime of steroids (with their own problems later) I can safely say as an adult that no, mommy wasn’t the problem. Doctors looking for an easy paycheck were.
