Thank you,
sophiaserpentia.
The author of this essay even acknowledges that gender dysphoria is a condition that requires treatment -- but then opposes supporting the only treatment recognized by the medical community as successful. Let's keep in mind that therapy is widely recognized as ineffective as a treatement for gender dysphoria -- which is not a fact that the medical community was eager to acknowledge. (This is especially true if the theory I support -- that "gender dysphoria" is caused by exposure to abnormal hormonal levels at a key stage in fetus development -- is true. In that case, no amount of talking is going to change the fact of the way the brain is shaped.)

IRS Gives Tax Deduction For 'Sex Change' Operation!!!
As Pterry says: "Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind." This is only three, but I'm not sure that it's any proof of sanity to use three instead of five.
Dear TVC Supporter:
I was stunned when I read a recent story in the press about an IRS decision to give a man a tax deduction for his so-called 'sex change' operation!
More exclamation points!
The decision was prompted by a challenge from the Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD)—a radical homosexual group in Massachusetts. This is the same activist organization that sued—and won—the legalization of homosexual marriage in that state!
Second exclamation point in the body of the letter.
GLAD has also defended the right of homosexuals to engage in sex in roadside restrooms and public parks in Massachusetts.
This doesn't get an exclamation point. I don't even think it's *true*. Could somebody give me a reliable source on the issue?
GLAD claimed that a sex change operation was a “medical necessity” for Rhiannon O’Donnabhain, a poor sexually confused man who thinks he’s a woman.
She's got a woman's name. And nobody is being harmed by her sex-change operation, least of all her.
Psychiatrists consider this to be a mental illness. In the DSM-IV-TR, this is a Gender Identity Disorder called “Gender Dysphoria” —but homosexual activists think that this is simply a case of a person being trapped the wrong body. I’m not making this up!
We believe you! That's, what, your third exclamation point?
The IRS decision is outrageous—and one that gives homosexual and transgender activists yet another victory in their push to overturn all standards of normality and sanity.
Next they'll be using multiple exclamation points in all their letters! Oh, where will it end, where will it end? The humanity!!!!111
Griff, I think she's talking about you, you freak of nature. You're all weird and that makes you icky.
Homosexuals and their transgender allies (people who either wear opposite sex clothes or think they’re actually members of the opposite sex) claim that being male or female are “social constructions” from the culture—not biological realities. And, they’re pushing this agenda through the courts!
Four exclamation points. Point of fact, people who wear clothes of the opposite sex are transvestites. Or women. Women kinda wear pants all the time. I guess that makes us all gay, huh? I never realized that before. Oh dear. And Scottish men are also very effiminate, because they wear kilts, which are a type of clothing that is naturally supposed to be on women only.
This outrageous IRS decision must be overturned for the good of those poor souls who suffer from mental problems—and to stop the homosexual agenda from winning another victory for abnormality and sexual perversion!
*snrk* That's five exclamation points (not counting the three in the salutation). Now, I'm confused - are these "poor souls with mental problems" or "abmornal perverted freaks"? Because they can't really be both.
Let me quote you some thoughts about sex change operations from an expert on this topic. His name is Dr. Paul McHugh, Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University.
Oh, please don't....
Johns Hopkins University is one of the places where sex change operations became routine in the early 1970s.
Dr. McHugh, writing in FIRST THINGS (November, 2004), says this about sex change operations:
I have witnessed a great deal of damage from sex-reassignment. … we psychiatrists have been distracted from studying the causes and natures of their mental misdirections by preparing them for surgery and for a life in the other sex. We have wasted scientific and technical resources and damaged our professional credibility by collaborating with madness rather than trying to study, cure, and ultimately prevent it.
Like, what damage? Can you give some examples?
Dr. McHugh’s words should be plastered all over the walls of the IRS!
And another exclamation point! Can I send this woman to a remedial writing class?
Fortunately, this man of science convinced Johns Hopkins University to stop doing sex change operations—and he urges psychiatrists nationwide to put an end to “collaborating with madness” as he puts it!
I'm not even sure that sentence was punctuated properly. By the way, we're up to exclamation point number seven.
Will you help us stop this “sex change” activist minority from imposing their insane ideas on the rest of us!
Questions do NOT end with exclamation points. They end with question marks. Just for that, I'm going to count this as exclamation points eight and nine.
Please send a letter of protest to the IRS and ask that they reverse this ill-advised decision!
Ten. Okay, nine. Because I'm nice that way.
So, okay. There's nine exclamation points in the body of the letter, and three in the salutation, one right after the other. That's approximately one exclamation point for every two sentences. More, because there's only 19 sentences in the entire letter.
All over something that doesn't affect her in the slightest. And she calls *them* crazy?

Did I miss a memo? I was unaware they were making the operation mandatory.

But this woman's inability to wrap her mind around the concept that Not Everyone Is Just Like Her makes her, in my opinion, a freak of religion. And I think that's much worse.
