   I'm currently reading "Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization"   
   (https://annas-archive.org/md5/d16856b0944bae0add4bdd86bd20618b) and   
   although a lot of it is just a rehash of Maslows books with very little   
   nwe science added, some parts are actually mildly interesting.   
      
   One thing you could conclude is that the YOU MUST ACCEPT behaviour could   
   be due to a bad childhood which left psychological scars and warped the   
   needs the person has. A kind of narcissistic illness.   
      
   Then, the interesting question is... what happened to bringing up children   
   in the 70s and 80s so that we today have this annoying trans people? Was   
   there some kind of paradigm shift in bringing up children?   
      
   When I think about my own politically incorrect upbringing, it was at   
   times fairly strict, with clear rules, yet, at the same time filled with   
   love and rewards for good behaviour and punishment for bad behaviour.   
      
   Modesty forbids me from saying that I think it was an excellent upbringing   
   that yielded excellent results. ;)
