I Didn’t Stay at a Holiday Inn Express

I’m not a mental health professional. If I was, I would deny it. I would claim a more honorable profession, like a piano player in a whorehouse. A disturbed individual uses an inanimate object to shoot up a church. Who do the democrats blame? The inanimate object. It couldn’t possibly be an out-of-control transsexual.

No matter how much one despises democrats… it’s not enough.

Up until the 2013 those who masqueraded as the opposite sex were considered to be suffering from a psychosexual disorder. That definition fell out of fashion, so the psychology industry changed the definition. That is why psychology, and sociology will never be real science. No rigorous thought required, just a show of hands.

Consider if you will, Sir Issac Newton expounded upon gravity in 1687. His thoughts still hold true today. Psychological theory is more transient. I’m not sure, but fifteen minutes could be the all-time record for any psychological theory to hold sway.

At any rate here is an example of the gamesmanship inherent in psychological thought. In 1980 transgenderism was considered a psychosexual disorder. By 2013 transgenderism no longer existed. A cure? Nope. A change in terminology. Out with the old, transgenderism and in with the new, gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria became a lifestyle choice, not a mental illness.

For centuries, an open desire to masquerade as the opposite sex was defined and treated as a weighty mental and behavioral disorder. By 1980, transgenderism was officially classified as a psychosexual disorder in third edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. More than 30 years later in 2013, however, APA’s fifth edition DSM removed gender identity disorder as a diagnosis and replaced it with gender dysphoria, which focused less on fixing gender-bending and more on doing whatever it took to relieve the “marked incongruence.”

Two can play that game! I’ll see your gender dysphoria and raise you Factitious Disorder. Never heard of it? It also goes by Munchausen’s Syndrome or Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy when directed at another person. Here are the characteristics:

By its nature, factitious disorder can seem asymptomatic. In order to make a diagnosis of factitious disorder, it may be necessary for a health professional to look for clues and patterns in behavior that suggest an individual is being misleading. Some behaviors, however, do make factitious disorder easier to spot, including:

Inconsistencies between patient history and medical observations.
Vague details that seem plausible on the surface but that don’t hold up to scrutiny.
Lengthy medical records with multiple admissions at different hospitals.
Willingness to accept any discomfort and risk from many medical procedures, even surgery.
Overdramatic or outlandish presentation of a factitious illness, or hostility when challenged.

They say an imagine is worth a thousand words. He claims to be she.

Gender dysmorphia or Factitious Disorder. Like Louis Armstrong once sang” “potato, potahto”

At any rate here is a link describing Factitious Disorder.

Did I mention that Munchausen’s by Proxy involved mothers preying on their children, typically non- verbal (infants and toddlers). The benign practitioners invent symptoms to present to doctors. Others actively harm their children via poison or physical abuse. When caught and confronted with the overwhelming evidence these mothers typically deny any wrongdoing.

On second thought, that sounds like just about any democrat one would care to name….
