There should be no doubt these people suffer from mental illness. A good proportion of Antifa is composed of these raging lunatics. They are the 'shock' troops of the communist left.
Transsexual behavior was listed as a mental illness in the manuals of the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization in the 1980s.
The APA and WHO need to return to this definition for these very irrational and sick people. The potential is there to not only harm, but to kill many more people.
If you go back to six or seven years ago you will find articles saying 0.3% of people identify as transgender. That number is probably pretty close to reality. Absent psychological manipulation, this number will remain fairly constant over time.
My opinion of what we are seeing now are the people who have been manipulated into proclaiming they are transgender. The deeper they go into the process of disavowing their natural self, the more unhinged they become. Then, when you add in hormone injections, it becomes even worse.
No matter what they do they cannot escape their true self. And, they subconsciously realize all the medical procedures created more problems than they resolved. Sadly, the rage they feel is misdirected. Instead of lashing out at the people who pushed them to deny who they are, they project it onto the people who are wary of people claiming to be transgender.
Good synopsis. As Bret Weinstein has said, "transgender is *real *but rare."
Social engineers have entered a new era of effectiveness, they can manipulate so much more easily in these social media echo chambers and all the dissemination of mass perceptions.
So stepping back, of course a generation of kids raised on
the religion of Expressive Individualism (somewhere deep inside is the real me, and others need to know about it, because life is about being blaringly obviously authentic)
media, marketing and education claims everything in life is optional, everything
post-Freudian culture has ingested the assumption that sexuality is a basic component of identity
classic physical practice and competence, including basic rough and tumble play among kids, is also considered optional (video gaming is just a valid way to pass the time as anything involving the physical body in the real world), therefore the emotional and physical responses to real world challenges is more likely imbalanced, and the need to physically act will more likely be channeled into irrational and unresolvable aggression.
all this will necessarily produce more statistical examples of what once was considered the aberrant and rare cases of human behavior.
I agree with you.
