I am a former inpatient psych RN. One day I had a pt, born sex A who wanted to be sex B. That pts partner was on the other unit, born sex B but wanted to be sex A. So here was a couple, born with all of the correct equipment, both hospitalized with depression and anxiety. Completely clueless that their problems were of their own making. It really is mental illness. Also, the homeless shelter was full.
