I can’t help but believe this “transgender” syndrome is nothing more than a mental aberration.
You are what you are and you think what you think.
I’m surprised that research into this phenomenon hasn’t been more widely discussed...if it, in fact, exists.
To my mind is falls into the Kafka “Metamorphosis” category.
I used to lament that carnivals no longer had freak shows on the midway that featured people with weird disease or genetic deformations. Who needs that now??? Our society now provides freak shows daily...at no cost.
Gender Identity Disorder, is the only delusional disorder where the “proper” treatment is to encourage the delusion, instead of making the sufferer face reality.
I think the studies have been done, they expose what we suspect and they have been suppressed. Mustn't be a hater.
It is definitely a mental illness. And it needs to be treated as such and not encouraged.
I remember seeing a piece on TV about a man who thought he was some sort of big cat — tiger, I think. He had tattoos, plastic surgery, and dental work to make him look like a tiger. (I do not understand how any doctor or dentist could do such work.) Anyway, next time I heard about him was a few years later when the news came out that he had killed himself.
