Quote:The bolded text is complete and utter nonsense.

 

I'm not claiming to have the reason nailed down, but I do agree that it is a mental disorder. Like many other mental disorders they can come about many different ways, perhaps even by a chemical imbalance at birth, but it's a disorder nonetheless. It's no different then when skinny people see themselves as fat and cause themselves harm to try and physically change their bodies. Or when like I said before a grown adult reverts back to a child state and doesn't display the ability to function as an adult. There are disorders where the individual loses their identity this isn't all that rare,  but in every other case we treat the identity loss, unless they decided I was born with the wrong sex organs then it's different!
