Many people are educable; but shrinks are not

Their "education" prevents it. They truly believe that their naive attempts at classification of human diversity represent some sort of eternal underlying reality, rather than evanescent social labels.

I've experienced a lifetime of oppression from shrinks and "school psychologists". Even as an adult we are not free from them, because you need a "diagnosis" from them to get surgery. (And we used to need a "diagnosis" to get hormones, but the Internet and offshore pharmacies changed that.) For decades, they were in the business of denying hormones to people they didn't think would turn out to be attractive heterosexual women. Shrinks are gender police.

And I for one do not feel an obligation to educate our oppressors. This is like trying to educate your domestic abuser husband. You cannot educate someone who holds unjust power over you. Our progress comes on the mass culture front -- through media images and high profile people like Chas Bono or Lana Wachowski. It comes on the legal front by working as an activist. It does not come from futile attempts to "educate" individual idiot shrinks.
