Does anyone else feel bad for her because she disfigured herself?

I have no sympathy for a person who goes to such lengths chasing a fetish.

Well I have sympathy for them. I dont think they are right or deserving of validation for larping as a gay man but I feel sad for them. They are mentally ill and their disfigurement will be a permenant part of their life.

I feel bad for them, but I'm also at the end of my sympathy because of how much power these mentally ill people have managed to gain and wield against others. This is the logical conclusion when we let the delusional run the asylum, they start enacting their delusions on the physical world and their own bodies and invade others boundaries. #TotallyExpectedConsequences

Oh I agree they need to be fought on all fronts. I just cant help but feeling sad about the whole situation. If they had gotten better help instead of crippling affirmation they wouldnt be in so much pain and neither would society.

Too bad Talk therapy is becoming "Conversion" therapy and increasingly illegal now.

I agree. It's disturbing and heartbreaking to watch. At the end of the day, we're all human. I am simultaneously furious at how homophobic and aggressive such people are, and am also sad and horrified to watch someone do that to themselves.

I get why many people here don't feel sympathy for such woman (and men, for the straight and/or AGP men who LARP as women). I think there is room for all these reactions, though.
