Just echoing other comments as the first post I saw was from someone who wanted a knife so they could "stab girls" while whispering in their ear that they are "getting their hormones". Wow.

Well it's important to note that they are stabbing them with a "hrt" knife.

It is well known that the prevalence and intensity of mental illness is higher in transgender people.

The relationship between the two is a subject of heated debate and I would say not pertinent here, but the fact would explain the prevalence of the more grotesque findings in such communities.
