Anyway the idea that having an asshole dad "makes you trans" is probably even more damaging than the idea that watching porn "makes you trans" However, I do think it's likely if Daniel Schreber were raised by someone other than Moritz he might've been less fucked up about it

In any case, when I first heard this story I really, really wanted Moritz Schreber to be the namesake of Moritz Stiefel in Spring Awakening -- it'd be the most perfect thematic link if it were -- but there doesn't seem to be any evidence for it

Hey, at least he didn't have some quack buddy of his remove a bone in his nose to supposedly cure him of depression and then diagnose him with "hysterical bleeding" when the cause was really that his quack buddy left a wad of gauze in his face.

Sorry, I just loathe Freud.
