F*ck. My post just got eaten alive. Maybe it's for the best.

Why do you fetishize schizophrenics? It's not like it's easy to be schizophrenic, especially if one has to deal with affective flattening, apathy, thought disorder, impaired self-care, etc. I could see how someone might think hallucinations or delusions were fun, but from my time in schizophrenia communities, I don't think that they would seem that way to the schizophrenic.

Gender dysphoria isn't that glamorous either. All it means is that one has the mind of one gender and the body of another. Generally speaking, one doesn't live being first a girl and then a boy, or vice versa; one lives being a boy in a female body and then a boy in a masculinized body (or vice versa), IF we're talking about those people who do transition, who are also fully transsexual.

As for multiplicity...*sigh* What I seem to be trying to say is that you're trivializing what are in reality serious disorders (sans "furries"). I realize that not everyone sees multiplicity as a disorder (like a lot of people don't see homosexuality or gender identity disorder as a "disorder"), but there are some multiples who do.
