There is something that I’ve been wondering about. This may not be the best place to put it, but it’s somewhat adjacent to the topic so I decided to stick it here.
Take a big guy with full beard. He’s a manly man that speaks with a deep voice. Then one day he declares himself a female and walks into a women’s bathroom or locker-room. Now, this dude isn’t doing this as a way to get near some naked (or near naked) women. He genuinely does think that he’s a female.
Most sane people (even folks on the left in the distant past) would surmise that this guy has some sort of mental illness and needs to get psychiatric help. The modern day left, however, thinks everyone should embrace the guy and take part in his delusion. My question is: at what point does the modern day left recognize mental illness as mental illness? For instance, if this guy claimed to be a bank instead of a female, would they give him money or would they finally recognize his mental illness?
