An adult's ability to consent is dependent on having basic mental capabilities (no mental retardation) and being free of mental disorders (psychosis).

If someone has mental disorders, they can be locked up against theit will (institutionalized). Someone else can be made their legal guardian.

The psychiatrists stopped considering homosexuality to be a mental disorder.

They would have to concede that self-mutilation and sexual cannibalism are still signs of mental disorders.
