RE: If no scientific analysis of supposed "gender dysphoria" is allowed, do we need psychiatrists AT ALL, anymore?
It is a dangerous world. Nothing in it is more dangerous than psychotics... I mean psychologists. If their prognostications regarding this matter are necessarily unchallengable by law, then they have acquired the power of involuntary commitment to a course of treatment. On this issue particularly, that is a terrible threat to people. Imagine being reported by a malevolent neighbor as someone who should not be allowed firearms under Red Flag laws, and having an unfriendly visit from local constabulary, where they seize your weapons. Seeking redress of your grievances, you file suit, and the state recruits an expert psychological witness - as they surely will in such cases going forward, that are going to involve litigation involving any survivors of the seizure events - who testifies that you are suffering from gender dysphoria and are repressing as a result of denial.
Whack! The gavel comes down, and you are sentenced to the care of that psychologist for 72 hours. You are seized and taken to some medieval torture palace, drugged into insensibility and pass out. When you awake, and find you are surgically altered, your neighbor whose malevolence got you into this mess to begin with, is no longer relevant to your concerns, which are going to be surviving the outrage at having been involuntarily gender swapped, or maybe staring at your naked body in a mirror aghast.
While this may seem ludicrous and impossible, I actually do not think it is. If things don't change, I expect exactly this to become an effective threat to silence dissent. A few examples of regendered dissidents, and but few would dare to dissent, publicly.
"The LBGT community, of course, can naturally procreate..."
Pretty sure they can't. Perhaps there's a word missing in your post?
Thanks!
Yep, you nailed, as usual my friend. We are giving these atheistic witch doctors carte blanche to mess with people's lives in any way they choose. Traditional thought, or even belief in unpopular religious may also soon be proscribed as "insanity."
Yep..."not" procreate. Fixing now.
