Take care and tell your dad to stay away from mad dermatologists in the future, after all, he has a family to worry over:)

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.

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.

“Just as he was rejected by his wife, he would later be rejected by a jury.” I don’t know why, but that made me laugh, and so did the skin puns. 😅

[@nanaman]

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.

What did he think taking his wife's birth control pills was going to do for him? I totally get where she was coming from in terms of not wanting to admit failure to her family. What a tragic case. I think that Richard was brilliantly insane. It sounds like he had narcissistic rage for sure amongst other psychological conditions. I feel bad for their children.

He probably had some delusions that taking female hormone treatments would make him a real woman. Typical autogynephile Ed Gein logic.

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.

[@reavanante2160]

I can't cite a study but I have heard that there is a definite corellation between how 'nice' a person is and how it attracts violence and victimization. So, accordingly, the nicer one is the more abusers one attracts. It explains a lot of life. Also, there is something in the animal world called imprinting. Humans supposedly are not affected by imprinting, but I don't believe this. Like when baby condors emerge from their eggs, they have to see Condors, as their parents, it happens at this specific time and if they see humans, they will adopt the human as their parent.

[@Mouse_Metal]

Humans are to some extent affected by imprinting too.

[@catcoffee7958]

True ,serial killer try to find the nicest the more apologetic victims in public places

[@melissaharris3389]

We tend to call someone nice when they're non-hostile and amenable. This is because society has associated 'niceness' with people pleasing. People pleasers aren't actually 'nice' due to an inate aboundance kindness or compassion. They're exhibiting a fawn response due to low self-esteem and fear of confrontation. They often find it exhausting to constantly be 'nice' as it's a facade of agreeableness they use to avoid difficult situations or confrontation. An authentic personality trait doesn't require a person to perform it. Truly nice people are rare. They're kind, yes, but they also have self-esteem and can stand up for themselves and others. Predators look for those who are agreeable and less likely to resist.

[@pennywinternuttall5001]

I remember this case and I thought he wanted the state to pay for the surgery to transition. I thought he went to court over this.

A lot of men who murder and abuse women want to transition to female and get access to women’s prisons. Why wouldn’t they want to shoot fish in a bucket? See Donna Perry, Karen White, Richard Speck…
