It’s a hall of mirrors.

Interesting that they concede imagined body parts are erotic in these populations.

More fake science. A ridiculous study which, if it shows anything, shows that people suffering from a delusion have corresponding delusory feelings— no surprise there. The history of psychology is littered with examples of people having psychosomatic sensations and symptoms of all kinds.

I’m not surprised that the ideologically blinkered researchers here managed to dismiss the very real evidence of genuine phantom pain and other forms of discomfort in those who have been subjected to “gender affirming” mutilation. That doesn’t fit the narrative they’re striving for.
