If that's true, and I believe it is, can society deem them insane or do we have to turn our society upside down to accommodate them?People have believed they are wolves, vampires, demons, horses, they have others trapped in their body, they hear voices................
If not harmful to themselves or others, just accept them as different. Red hair instead of brown. Colourful, quirky, unique, themselves
Quite different than the color of someone's hair.
Sounds to me as if you are saying we should accommodate stupid.
accept that not everyone fits a cookie cutter mold. We are all different in someway.
There might be something about you that others would find stupid, but should you be locked up because of it?
See my avatar, I'm a cat, but does that make insane? Is someone that performed in "cats" insane? Is someone that eats cat food insane? Is someone that likes to dress in furry costumes insane? Where do you draw the line between different and insane?
If someone is not a threat to themselves or other, so what if they are different. Let them be. We are not automatons programmed to be identical. Life would be very boring. I would not like to live in a black and white world. I enjoy the shades of gray and the millions of hue of colors.
I can accept that not everyone fits that mold and that people are different. Some people want to dye their hair an unusual color, be Goth, wear their pants below their waste like prisoners who want to be cornholed do. I get it.
That your avatar is a cat doesn't make you insane. That people wear costumes of cats doesn't make them insane. If someone likes cat food, while unusual, I don't know that it makes them insane. However, someone that thinks they ARE a cat is a different story. I draw the line between insane on this issue where people go from acting like a cat may act in certain situations to something think they are one.
While their may not be a threat, per se, the problem comes in when someone is allowed to believe they can be something they can never be. It doesn't matter how hard that idiot tries, they can never be a cat. To allow them to believe it is ridiculous.
