There is also Body Dismorphic Disorder, where a person perceives a body part as being deformed or misshapen and seeks surgery to correct it. (think of Michael Jackson)
There is no depth the mentally ill will not go to try and prove their saneness. And the lunatic left will tell us these ill people are just empowering themselves. They are as sick as the mutilators. And both are so wracked with self hate that suicide may be the only relief for them.
I will say this. Wonders never cease.
This Baldwin guy is an idiot for not believing this is a mental illness for someone to actually want to be disabled. And then there are actually doctors willing to disable people to satisfy that desire.
It’s sheer lunacy. It’s examples like this that encourage genocidal Muslims everywhere.
“I’m a 15 year old boy, and that’s why I date 15 year old girls” - said the 50 year old man, he was praised for his courage!
Is there a scientific name for the disease I have?
I’m a rich man trapped in a poor man’s bank account.
These people need to know they will never get a single penny of Disability. In fact, anyone who has cut off a limb or blinded himself, etc., should know that they will instantly become ineligible for Soshecurity, Medicare, or any other government largesse, permanently.

More of these people are needed to serve our country. Surely this could be a new cause for the Dems: Why wait for wars to wound our troops?
All these sickos need is a mental hospital.
Hell with them.
The first surgical procedure these people need to do is sterilize themselves before they reproduce and propagate a gene that is deadly to the survival of our species.
Weird. I read of similar cases many years ago. I forgot the plastic surgeons name but he was convicted in California of homicide when one of those patients died and iirc died in prison. He used to hold or appear on live shows with some of his patients.
Long recognized by psychiatry and psychology is the understanding that the mind is capable of lying, inventing a “reality” in the mind that in fact does not exist. The worst examples fall into various mental problems in the identity dysphoria spectrum. And yes it includes the persons who are in the “transgender” category. What they needed as a child is large, strong but compassionate doses of professional help, not resignation and “acceptance” from parents.
Really??
These people a mentally ill and need therapy. Enabling them is cruel.
