They claim to be the party of compassion, but they support and encourage unneeded surgeries. I think that I’ve used this example before, but I’m going to use it again for all of the DU lurkers...
Let’s say that you’re on top of a skyscraper (or a tower or whatever) sightseeing and you encounter a friend that you haven’t spoken with in awhile. When you ask how he’s been doing, he informs you that he now identifies as an airplane and is going to use the sightseeing spot as a take-off point to hop off of and fly to Las Vegas. When your friend moves to the edge to make his “take-off” are you going to say “well, bring me a T-shirt when you come back” or are you going to stop him from jumping off of that high spot and falling to his death?
Now, I realize that all of the brainless DU lemmings will screech that my situation is (D)ifferent than a man identifying as a woman, but what is different about it? In both cases, a person, who is most likely suffering from a mental illness, is pretending to be something that there is no way possible for him to actually be in real life.
