It shouldn't surprise us there are so many "nuts" or people going off the deep-end when we see how things have gone in just the US since the 60s. I'm sure even before that. It makes me believe that there is pure evil in the world. Sin is something some have wanted to do away with and anything you think or feel like doing is ok. I think most of these these horrific things have happened in societies that have been given too much.
Truly transgender people are tragic. They are depression cases no matter what they do. Usually the surgery they undergo does not "fix" them. I have spouted my theory on the testosterone bath in other threads, but that would not affect women. If you are genetically one gender and mentally a different gender, no surgery can fix that. My wife thinks women get a "taste" of maleness after menopause is complete. Of course they don't get a sample of the rage and anger that men often fight to control most of their lives, but when estrogen ebbs and testosterone remains the same, you get a small glimpse into our world. Andropause takes much longer, but I don't think the effect is the same. I have heard interviews of men who underwent the surgical changes only to discover that they were gay, not transgender after all was done. They said they didn't realize there were men who liked other men.
