Famous Transexuals

Who is Ed Gein, Richard Speck and Donna Perry?

I was going to do a sarcastic post with suggestions of what to do when you find a transgender in your public rest room.  But I had some rough edges I needed to knock off, so jumped on the Internet.  Suddenly it’s not so funny. Gender identity disorder is a subset of body dysmorphic disorder.  Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental illness. It cannot be cured with surgery.

Dr. Paul McHugh, in a recent issue of WSJ pointed out the following:

With body dysmorphic disorder, an often socially crippling condition, the individual is consumed by the assumption “I’m ugly.” These disorders occur in subjects who have come to believe that some of their psycho-social conflicts or problems will be resolved if they can change the way that they appear to others. Such ideas work like ruling passions in their subjects’ minds and tend to be accompanied by a solipsistic argument.

For the transgendered, this argument holds that one’s feeling of “gender” is a conscious, subjective sense that, being in one’s mind, cannot be questioned by others. The individual often seeks not just society’s tolerance of this “personal truth” but affirmation of it. Here rests the support for “transgender equality,” the demands for government payment for medical and surgical treatments, and for access to all sex-based public roles and privileges.

Dr. McHugh points out that transgender has become so politicized that it is against the law in Massachusetts, New Jersey and California to treat transgender patients using approved and accepted psychological methods if the treatment conflicts with the patient’s mistakenly held belief.

Dr. McHugh points out a London study where 70 to 80% of adolescents who reported “trans” feelings spontaneously lost those feelings and accepted the gender they were born with.

As a practical matter the “trans” community in all likelihood doesn’t accept the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM5®) which is the update to the American Psychiatric Association’s classification and diagnostic tool.  This means that people who claim to be “trans” are self declared, many without benefit of any mental health support or diagnosis. Remember the London study, 70 to 80% are mistaken in that belief.

Who is Ed Gein, Richard Speck and Donna Perry?

Ed Gein is the poster child for cabin fever during those long Midwestern winter nights. He killed two women in his community and possibly his brother. He raided freshly interred female corpses and stole body parts. When the police raided his home they found spare parts all over the house. They also found a “suit” made out of tanned women’s skin and hair he was building for himself.  By words and deeds he was “trans” before it was fashionable. There is more at the link or pick up, “Silence of the Lambs”, that is Ed Gein.

Richard Speck is a serial murderer best known for the rape, torture, and murder of eight student nurses in Chicago in 1966. He was sentenced to death, but that was commuted to life in prison.  In 1996 Speck reentered the public consciousness when a video tape was smuggled out of prison.  Speck, the star of the show, managed to secure enough female hormones that he had grown breasts.  He and a fellow inmate consumed lines of white powder and then engaged in sex acts for the camera.  He expressed absolutely no remorse for his actions.  

Donna Perry, started out as Douglas Perry. As Douglas Perry he killed at least three prostitutes in the Spokane, Washington area. Perry later made his way to Thailand where he had gender reassignment surgery. The surgery does not address DNA or fingerprints, both of which link Donna/Douglas to the murders. It should be of no surprise to anybody that experts in “trans” issues cannot see any linkage.

Here is a homework assignment John E. Douglas FBI (ret) was the head of the Behavioral Science Unit.  His group pioneered the psychological profiling process.  He has written several books for the layman detailing cases that the unit handled for example: Mind Hunter.

Douglas and some members of his team put on a series of seminars at Texas A&M back in the eighties. During a break I observed that it seemed to be the nature of the beast that these killers evolved when you saw their criminal career in total.  It was like where they started verses where they ended up was a search for the ultimate ______.  He agreed.

I am not suggesting that all “transsexuals” are serial killers, however some may be.  Sometimes the obvious, “look at the guy in the dress” may hide deeper darker issues.  But the trans community is saying no fair peeking. What this whole debate does is convince timid souls playing dress-up with mama’s clothes to venture out, into the wider world.

So you come out of a stall in the ladies room and you find these three waiting patiently.  What do you do?
