The problem isn't people privately indulging in some delusion. The problem is people demanding that others live their fantasy with them in public. They need to be taken seriously because their delusion is so at odds with reality that it cannot survive without constant validation. That's why they get so angry when people refuse to play along. They must have total submission to their lie or the whole thing collapses. Even one person resisting destroys it.
I used to dress up at Comic Con as movie characters that I thought were cool or funny. You'd see Deadpools, Batman, male Sailor Moons, awesome fan made Transformers and Iron Man suits, etc. And it made for a really fun time.
All I see here is a grown man cosplaying in public.
For me to cosplay in public and demand everyone around me address me as "Wolverine" would be absolutely ridiculous. For me to dress up as a woman and demand everyone around me address me as such is equally ridiculous.
Gender Identity Disorder (a psychotic delusional condition requiring treatment)
to
Gender Dysphoria (a psychotic delusional condition requiring treatment)
to
'Transgenderism' / transvestism (a psychotic delusional condition requiring treatment....that you have to pretend is totally normal and wonderful in order not to be physically, verbally, and psychologically abused and discriminated against in a wholly unjust and unconstitutional manner)
