We've Given the Mentally Ill Too Much Say Over Society and It's Time to Upset Some People

Last week, I covered a city council meeting in Worcester, Massachusetts, where the LGBT community there (hard emphasis on the T) yelled, screamed, and cried into the microphone as they pleaded, demanded, and even threatened the city council to make the town a "sanctuary city" for the LGBT community. This was done in response to Donald Trump's supposed assault against the LGBT community after saying there are only two genders recognized by the federal government. 

Because there are only two, but I digress.

It was during that article that I mentioned something called a "Cluster B personality disorder," which I described thusly: 

As I mentioned before, while I can't diagnose them professionally, it's not hard to see that these people have a "Cluster B" personality disorder, which cause their thinking to revolve solely around their emotions. 

Histrionics, black and white thinking, narcissism, and even impulsive threats. It was all there. These people aren't actually in danger, and a part of them knows that deep down, but they thrive on conflict, so they create it for everyone, including themselves. Nothing but absolute compliance to their whims and demands will solve the issues, which will never be solved because solving issues would mean an end to their dramatics, and they can't have that. 

The struggle is their entire personality. 

My colleague Margaret Clark would pen a post not long after about the LA City Council removing a U-Turn traffic signs from a neighborhood because it was supposedly "anti-gay." The removing of the signs weren't just unscrewing and taking them down from a post, either. They turned it into a big event, as if years of oppression was finally being lifted from this LA neighborhood. 

Speeches were made. Cheers erupted. Professional signage and balloons were put up.

To be clear, none of these people are under any kind of threat from the greater world. All the supposed "attacks" they're enduring aren't attacks at all. They're either pushback against the transgender activist community for trying to impose its will on the rest of America, or it's nothing at all, much like the U-turn sign. As I said before, conflict as the heart of the Cluster B personality, and if they can't find it, they'll create it. 

This isn't a healthy kind of mentality to have on a personal level, and it's definitively not beneficial for a society to be infected by it either. 

Transgenderism is a mental illness. It never stopped being one, even after the name was changed from "gender dysphoria." As you've likely seen repeatedly, and in various ways, people who identify as transgender are usually infested with mental illness and sicknesses, many of which are self-diagnosed and others which are reinforced through their community, as well as doctors and psychologists who should lose their license. 

People with this kind of mental sickness can hardly handle their own lives, yet a good deal of give them the power to dictate others' lives, including politicians who capitulate to these people, when they should be smiling, nodding, and then moving on from them. 

As an American who believes in American values, I think everyone should have a voice, and I think everyone should get to speak their minds to power, even people I disagree with on a fundamental level. In fact, I want them to speak their minds as openly as possible, as it only ever seems to help my point. 

But just because they have a voice, it doesn't mean we have to weigh their input with equal measure to someone who clearly hasn't lost their mind. In fact, with people like those you say in the videos above, reinforcing their delusions of being attacked and persecuted does them no favors at all. It only makes them more paranoid, more combative, and more depressed. 

These people need help, not power. Power is the last thing they need. 

Yet they continue to hold sway over various parts of our country. Trump's institutional changes that cast their power over the government out is a great start, but the federal government is not the country per se. Too many people are still afraid of what will happen if they don't give into the whims and demands of these mentally ill people. 

But we need to buckle down and be okay with making a lot of people, including the "sympathetic" and "compassionate" angry. Too many people are still under the impression that capitulation is helping everyone, including society, progress, but it's not. There have been too many deaths, too much cost, and too many lives destroyed.

To be clear, these people are on a quest to inadvertently destroy themselves, and capitulating to them only brings us down with them. The people in this country need to get to a point where they aren't afraid to simply shrug the demands of the mentally ill off. There is no compassion in giving them what they want, because what they want isn't helping anyone, including them. We need to return to a culture where we recognize that these people are people, but they're troubled. 

The cultural position our country needs to take is that transgenderism isn't normal or healthy. These people need assistance to get off the crazy train. Caving to their demands needs to stop. For their own good and ours.
