Quote:2.)In the event that a psychological malady occurs that would cause irrevocable harm to the person stricken by it should we as a society commit resources and personnel to facilitate that persons delusions. What if someone identified as being blind? Should we help them pour drano in their eyes to accommodate them?

Ugh. The old lady. This is the sticking point of brilliance you wanted me to answer to? As you would have guessed.. I am not going to say a person can not "identify" as blind. This argument truly makes no sense. So a person who can really see has a psychological condition which tells them that the rods and cones in their eyes are not actually seeing the things their brain registers? I have never heard of such a thing. Would I pour Drano in their eyes to fulfill this impossible delusion? Probably not. Maybe I would take some action to make them flinch to prove that I know that they are not truly blind. Again, this is not something that I have ever heard of occurring in the real world unlike the millions of examples of people who identify as transgender or homosexual which I can reference. Based on your question, should I assume you think they are making up their sexual orientation or gender identification? Or is your argument that it is homosexuality and transgender is a mental sickness which is treatable? If your answer to either of these is yes, you would be wrong.


And it is also pretty scary that we can do this dance for weeks where post by post I prove that the intentions of the 14th Amendment alone were not adequate enough to provide the equal protection of minority classes, yet you keep going back to that dry well to claim it does.
