Dermatologist Kills Wife After Her Concerns About Cross-Dressing | Dr. Richard Sharpe Case Analysis

There should be PSA "AUTOGYNEPHILES ARE POWER SEEKING NARCISSISTS DON'T ALLOW THEM TO MANIPULATE YOU". I dated one that left to blow his married boyfriend that wanted to get rid of me then he punched HIMSELF in the face so he could claim he was defending my honor and could garner sympathy. His other friend told me he faked the fight and bloody nose, I told him he was sick for saying that and never to speak to me again. Turned out to be true. Dude is a fuckin doctor. Fuckin cray cray, thought I was gonna be his beard, incubator, house slave, arm candy. Maybe get him dressed up and pegged between boyfriend visits. What's worse is I didn't avoid trans people after that, I was too kind "not all of them are narcissistic misogynists". Yeah right 😂

He was a very intense super-critical person with some sincere compassion. Really unique guy. I feel so sorry for his family. I remember he would call his wife to schedule his calendar. So I think they were both co-dependent on eachother for security. I saw her once in his office she was very kind and pretty.

Autogynephiles enjoy living off of people. It's part of their "being treated like a stupid spoiled slut/bimbo/woman" fantasy. They love to go into prostitution, live off parents, the state, take take take. I think they like to become doctors not just for the power and status but because the education process is long and if someone else is paying then they're happy to stay in school forever. I'm surprised this guy became successful. Back in the day "trans women" tended to be trustfund babies or transition once they were in power or retired, now the government provides and people are losing their kids.

Including the fact that she unfortunately lost her life after he lost his control over her. Control he thought of as absolute.

Hmmm. It’s as if the paraphilia known as cross-dressing and gender confusion in general is highly correlated with extremes in behavior and a higher prevalence of personality disorders 🤔 ….But what do I know? I’m no licensed psychologist.

GRANDE'S UNDRESSING 🧠 HE LOOKS CAREFULLY EACH CASE UNIQUE HE EVALUATES ALLOWING THE VIEWER A PEEK HE UNDRESSES MANY LAYERS TRYING TO BUTTON-UP EACH ONE THROUGH A SLY SENSE OF HUMOR USUALLY IT'S WELL DONE AND WE SHAKE OUR HEADS IN AGREEMENT MOST OF THE TIME CASE CLOSED AND EVALUATED UNTIL ANOTHER HE'LL FIND

Autogynephilia strikes again.

[@catcoffee7958]

True

[@davinasquirrel7672]

Not disputing that could be the case (as is often the case), but I did not pick up any clues to that one. This one is probably more complex that simple autogynephilia, he appeared to have a deep-rooted misogyny (as many of them do), plus add into the mix an extreme narcissist (probably NPD) and domestic abuser. Seemed like a volatile cocktail going on. Deep-rooted misogyny can also be 'failed masculinity' as well, the so-called beta male trying to make alpha. More layers to this one than an onion tbh. But misogyny is definitely in the mix.

His behaviour and facial expressions on the stand were quite strange! Look up the case and you will not be disappointed. Thanks for your hard work. Keep up the the coverage of these unusual cases.

Dr. Grande, could you address the question: have there been studies on how often those with narcissistic personality disorder commit suicide? Thanks!

The cyclical trend of high functioning abusers has been driven by generations of entitlement. The lack of empathy and awareness about the damage done to the lives of the people who are victims is so tragic, as is obvious from this person who had to grow up with it. It is sad that people who have money don’t use it to get help for themselves and their families.

[@judithhofweber4858]

In many ways these situations are replay of the slave culture that is part of American history. Someone feeling that they're the master and that they, through Terror can enslave those less powerful. The damage is lifelong. Often collusion protects the perpetrators, perfectly.
