This is the best summary on this whole issue I've seen. Thank you for sharing your hard-won insight and perspective, which surely will help crack the facade of those who encourage this delusional system. This post encapsulates so many threads into such a clear and concise narrative, it should be required reading. Thank you again.

clear, concise, not overly dramatic; this is a brilliant piece to explain what's happening

"It’s a medical scandal on the scale of the lobotomy, if not worse. It’s castration, sterilization, and mutilation."

Amen to that; "medical scandal", indeed.

But glad to see you quote "male-to-female” since, as you emphasize, that is currently not possible. Though it might be nice if it were -- really allow us to walk a mile in the shoes of a person of the other sex.

However, it seems that too many use the unquoted version which tends just to contribute to the Big Lie that people can actually change sex, that transwomen are actually women -- typically, if problematically defined as "adult human females". Though equally problematic is the too common use of "sex change operations" in an unquoted format. For instance, Lisa Selin Davis did so recently, and I've seen too many newspapers do likewise, as well as use the adjective-noun pair "trans woman", instead of the logically more justified compound word "transwoman".

But "semantic sorcery", indeed; think we need to start seriously deprecating if not anathematizing such poisonous and toxic phrases.

This is a known mental disorder: Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another, according to the ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision).

FDIA is classified under the category of "Other disorders of adult personality and behavior" with the code F68.A

Those who identify themselves as "Trans" in fact do have a disease, but it has been imposed on them.

Excellent. Straightforward. Thank you!

This is such a moving account, and informative overview. I have tied the gender issue to CRT, which both lead to dissatisfaction with self. We must speak against this. Thank you, Steven.
