There is a new line of thinking when dealing with the those who suffer delusions, such as those with Alzheimer's, that believes the best way to handle the delusions is to just play along. Its easier for all involved. Jenner is a dude who had cosmetic surgery to better fit his desires. I dont know if its caused by delusions, but something is 'different' there. I say let him have this. It's no skin off my back.

(I feel sex changes are nothing but genital mutilation)

How far do we allow these delusions to go?

Do you recommend he use womens' bathrooms? Can he apply for federal aid as a woman? Should he be allowed to stay at a safe home for battered women?

Or do we instead recognize this for what it is--a man with delusions of being or wanting to be a woman? He has every right to dress and act however he wants, but I don't think it's helping anyone to cater to the delusion by pretending he's something that he is not. At the least, society shouldn't have to bend so willingly or so far to satisfy a very small number of individuals suffering from gender confusion.

How far... i dont know. I already think bathrooms should either be unisex with stalls for those who need or want privacy. So I am not the right person to ask that question to. I think having two bathrooms for the genders is retard, and always have. I've kinda always thought that. As I grew older and learned to hate prudes it kinda was reinforced. So here I'm gonna say let them take a piss with whatever sex they think they are this week. Some palces already have unisex bathrooms in my area. Resolving the issue.

A battled woman's shelter... that is a better question, And I'm gonna say no, we draw a line there. Shelters are safe spaces for brutalized people. Keep everyone separated in order to better serve as a safe place.

I think that since it is such a small number that most considerations arent much of an issue. But if it gets out of hand like the ADA? Punch them right in the cunt. Consideration has to be a two way street.

I think so. They are honest about who they are and do not wear their identity with shame. They make dedicated commitment and drastic lifestyle decisions to prove their authenticity to their belief in that they are the opposite gender. I do think that in order for this to legally qualify, you have to at least be on hormone therapy to become the opposite gender.

At some point you gotta realize we're all animals that are basically brainwashed by all sources of information and the pressure of our peers and the desires of our own ego. For all intents and purposes if someone really does believe with every fiber of their being that they're someone else, every part of them will go into making that reality. I dont have a problem with TG men in battered women's homes, just like I think TG women who have done conversion to become very manly shouldnt be in battered women's homes.
