You kept asking further questions.

2018-05-17 12:56:28 UTC

Never in the history of psychology has feeding a psychological disease been considered effective in curing it.

2018-05-17 12:56:31 UTC

Well one of them was about the line of what "Making an effort" or the equivalent statement you made, was

2018-05-17 12:56:38 UTC

M4 i think you would need to back that statement.

2018-05-17 12:56:41 UTC

@EmptyE Your further questioning requires that I go into greater detail does it not.

2018-05-17 12:57:23 UTC

Nobody should make any effort to allow their speech to be forcibly policed.

2018-05-17 12:57:45 UTC

Not by members of society or parliamentary government.

2018-05-17 12:57:48 UTC

Nothing I've argued has been about the effectiveness or otherwise of treatments/Transitioning. @meratrix

2018-05-17 12:57:49 UTC

let's say you were going to become a boy, but a doctor altered your chromosome so the Y wouldn't kick in

2018-05-17 12:58:06 UTC

are you still a boy?

2018-05-17 12:58:07 UTC

oh wait. I made that one claim about satisfaction

2018-05-17 12:58:09 UTC

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/gender-dysphoria/

```A survey of 10,000 people undertaken in 2012 by the Equality and Human Rights Commission found that 1% of the population surveyed was gender variant, to some extent. ```

2018-05-17 12:58:15 UTC

You might be correct.

2018-05-17 12:58:40 UTC

There is no basis for the claim of satisafaction. Suicide rates remain the same after a transition.

2018-05-17 12:58:58 UTC

Ok. You can have that. Thats why I said it once and backed away from it.

2018-05-17 12:59:11 UTC

I'd rather people not go through an expensive procedure where there is no proof thay ir has an improvement.

2018-05-17 12:59:12 UTC

@EmptyE Yes, but that stuff is what is behind my reasoning, therefore I will explain when asked about how I came to my conclusions about the social decorum.

2018-05-17 12:59:13 UTC

there are also biological differences in trans people

2018-05-17 12:59:43 UTC

Organs can be different and stuff

2018-05-17 13:00:00 UTC

@meratrix then you are claiming that your reasoning and how you observe the best way to treat mental illness is good enough reason to not care about someones wishes when expressed fairly?

2018-05-17 13:00:15 UTC

Expressed fairly being an important term there

2018-05-17 13:00:29 UTC

Hopefully biomodding will be a thing one day and people can just swap and choose all this at will.

2018-05-17 13:01:10 UTC

@Omsomething I could get behind that

2018-05-17 13:01:25 UTC

@EmptyE I said if they recognize that refusing to see a phycologist is detrimental to them, and they donโ€™t bitch at me for THEIR OWN DECISION, then I will oblige their request.

2018-05-17 13:01:37 UTC

is LGBTQ mental illness? no

2018-05-17 13:01:54 UTC

that is their gender identity

2018-05-17 13:01:54 UTC

do you guys know that scandinavian documentarian who did a piece on gender where he interviewed simon baron cohen and some other folks?

2018-05-17 13:02:04 UTC

trying to find that right now...

2018-05-17 13:02:21 UTC

@meratrix might have mixed you up with someone else here. You also claimed I believe that said individual should be somewhat along in transitioning. Which is the bit I was poking. What constiuents transitioning enough?

2018-05-17 13:02:23 UTC

and no Hooty, just the T

2018-05-17 13:02:58 UTC

I think you're just transphobic

2018-05-17 13:03:08 UTC

**AND THERE IT IS**

2018-05-17 13:03:17 UTC

@EmptyE I will also not oblige them if they are just bitching about it, but are not actually attempting to help themselves.

2018-05-17 13:03:17 UTC

*Confette*

2018-05-17 13:03:30 UTC

You're a fucking Transphobe, kiddo. Therefore your argument is irrelevant.

2018-05-17 13:03:46 UTC

how is it a mental illness?

2018-05-17 13:03:47 UTC

@meratrix what classifies as bitching then?

2018-05-17 13:03:57 UTC

It's delusional.

2018-05-17 13:04:11 UTC

your feelings are delusional?

2018-05-17 13:04:21 UTC

Feelings can perpetuate delusions.

2018-05-17 13:04:35 UTC

OK so you shouldn't feel like a straight male

2018-05-17 13:04:38 UTC

If I feel like I'm Pluto. That doesn't actually make me Pluto, does it?

2018-05-17 13:04:42 UTC

it's delusional

2018-05-17 13:04:49 UTC

๐Ÿคฆ

2018-05-17 13:05:00 UTC

@EmptyE Itโ€™s not about transitioning enough, itโ€™s about making the effort. And bitching is a fairly universal term. EX: If they just yell at me for calling them by male pronouns when I have never met them before and they look very much male cause they havenโ€™t even tried to transition.

2018-05-17 13:05:08 UTC

How many would see this as a problem if changing your gender would be easy and reversible?

2018-05-17 13:06:21 UTC

@meratrix yeah and if someone did that to me I'd refer to them exclusively by male pronouns because that persons clearly a cunt who should be bullied. but Bitching isn't that universal, some may say bitching requires multiple instances of a behaviour, some may say it's just a tone or an attitude

2018-05-17 13:06:46 UTC

@meratrix and making an effort is surely subjective. Some people may demand tits before they class it as making an effort

2018-05-17 13:06:53 UTC

let's see what psychology has to say about this

2018-05-17 13:07:03 UTC

some may just want them to have a dress on

2018-05-17 13:07:27 UTC

@EmptyE When I say making the effort, I mean have they actually tried to go to a phycologist and/or transition in any way. They could even just be researching it for themselves.

2018-05-17 13:07:52 UTC

So in essence M4 you are mostly just worried about the medical implications to people who might be impressionable and not mentally stable?

2018-05-17 13:08:01 UTC

@meratrix why should they disclose that to you for social decorum goods?

2018-05-17 13:09:39 UTC

am I one of the idiots?

2018-05-17 13:10:01 UTC

@EmptyE Because how will I know what to call them then. If they want me to oblige them, then they better make it known. And almost certainly they will be a close friend or something similar for them too feel comfortable telling me theyโ€™re trans in the first place.

2018-05-17 13:10:47 UTC

@M4Gunner
Well you are in the internet, people you dislike and do not want to talk with do not leave just because you want them to. It is a shared forum, and we all are on different levels of understanding on the topic.

2018-05-17 13:11:11 UTC

@M4Gunner new questions, new crowd to me mate. Don't have to engage

2018-05-17 13:11:24 UTC

@EmptyE I canโ€™t go around in circles with you all day, I got other shit to do. See ya, you are much more enjoyable to chat with than Hooty.

2018-05-17 13:11:40 UTC

@Deleted User This is a really great mini doc on gender and sexuality studies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5LRdW8xw70

2018-05-17 13:11:41 UTC

@meratrix Not trying to take you in circles. But fair, cya.

2018-05-17 13:12:24 UTC

I think if someone LOOKS a certain way, and you address them according to how they present themselves and instead of just letting you know it's not what they are, they verbally accost you and call you transphobic then they can go fuck themselves.

2018-05-17 13:12:33 UTC

@M4Gunner Presuppose? Fuck you mate. I put alot of damn effort in being as value neutral as possible

2018-05-17 13:12:45 UTC

Being transgender is not a choice. Transgender people don't choose to cross over and live as the other gender. They are, and always have been, the other gender.

2018-05-17 13:13:00 UTC

@Jek Porkins agreed.

2018-05-17 13:13:01 UTC

Ah sure, hit me up later if you want to talk. I could be wrong but a LOT of people might be talking about separate things when they talk about this topic.

It has many sides in it and people usually assume everyone is talking about the same one.

2018-05-17 13:14:14 UTC

but sometimes it is

2018-05-17 13:14:16 UTC

just sayin

2018-05-17 13:14:27 UTC

It never is

2018-05-17 13:14:29 UTC

especially nowadays

2018-05-17 13:14:37 UTC

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] Fairly certain that would be a false diagnosis of dysmoprhia

2018-05-17 13:15:21 UTC

being a transvestite doesnt mean you have gender dysphoria

2018-05-17 13:15:36 UTC

Gender dysphoria is not a choice, it's a condition

2018-05-17 13:16:42 UTC

"Gender dysphoria, or gender identity disorder, is the distress a person experiences as a result of the sex and gender they were assigned at birth."

Once you choose to "be" the opposite gender, and begin to experience displeasure because of your actual gender, you have self-inflicted your dysphoria.

2018-05-17 13:17:21 UTC

Congratulations, you found an article arguing one side of a highly controversial topic.

2018-05-17 13:17:33 UTC

@EmptyE Iโ€™m back for a quick sec, but yes, I also agree with both you and @Jek Porkins, my reasoning is for when it is obvious they are not the biological gender they say. I had a coworker once who had transitioned from female to male before I met him, had no fucking idea until he told me.

2018-05-17 13:18:04 UTC

I'd say theres a massive seperation between displeasure from a choice, and psychology distress that would need treatment @Thomas the Sowell Train [USA]

2018-05-17 13:18:42 UTC

its not controversial

2018-05-17 13:19:08 UTC

do you not see how treating trans people as if they have a mental disorder can cause mental disorders in them?

2018-05-17 13:19:12 UTC

Whose?

2018-05-17 13:19:33 UTC

Sure, there's a difference between someone who has transtrendered, and someone who is say, chemically imbalanced.

2018-05-17 13:19:34 UTC

Nope

2018-05-17 13:19:35 UTC

Request

2018-05-17 13:19:41 UTC

very different

2018-05-17 13:20:32 UTC

@Deleted User treating a mental disorder as a mental disorder produces better results than pretending nothing is wrong

2018-05-17 13:20:33 UTC

Yeah alright. But if you just want to make "what should the law be" arguments, well- that sounds really fucking dull

2018-05-17 13:21:54 UTC

I'd probably look confused but then say 'alright, guess so' in that instance

2018-05-17 13:22:27 UTC

why do the fuck do you keep dragging it to demands?

2018-05-17 13:22:46 UTC

they do not choose their gender

2018-05-17 13:22:57 UTC

lol

2018-05-17 13:23:05 UTC

@Deleted User Correct, their chromosomes determine that.

2018-05-17 13:24:15 UTC

there are biological, internal differences

2018-05-17 13:25:09 UTC

we aren't just what you see on the outside

2018-05-17 13:25:43 UTC

biological differences between a cis and trans?

2018-05-17 13:26:05 UTC

no usually that's just part of the delusion, and when it is the case it's probably not what you think it is

2018-05-17 13:26:56 UTC

if you put a female brain in a male body, are they then male?

2018-05-17 13:27:23 UTC

@M4Gunner its my job to worry (think really) about them

2018-05-17 13:27:26 UTC

no they're a mutant

2018-05-17 13:28:10 UTC

I'm a ToM Cog studies grad

2018-05-17 13:29:07 UTC

Same

2018-05-17 13:29:11 UTC

what I'm saying is there are physiological differences that cause them to identify as a different sex

2018-05-17 13:29:17 UTC

not true

2018-05-17 13:29:29 UTC

yes it is fucking true

2018-05-17 13:29:33 UTC

nope

2018-05-17 13:29:57 UTC

There are psychological differences between the genders. This is a fact.

2018-05-17 13:30:02 UTC

There are also only 2 genders

2018-05-17 13:30:04 UTC

Second fact

2018-05-17 13:30:24 UTC

@Hyddraigon Why should those facts matter in the social realm?

2018-05-17 13:30:34 UTC

Unless you mean chemical imbalances in the brain which creates a personality disorder, for which the patient attempts to self-treat by adopting the delusion of being the wrong gender.

2018-05-17 13:30:49 UTC

@Hyddraigon
What do you think of the natural hermies?

2018-05-17 13:31:25 UTC

I think they're hot ๐Ÿ‘€

2018-05-17 13:31:45 UTC

But as gender goes, you stated quite boldly that there is just 2 genders.

2018-05-17 13:32:05 UTC

do gays and lesbians choose their preferences?

2018-05-17 13:32:15 UTC

One question at a time

2018-05-17 13:32:21 UTC

^ theres some scary data that suggests they might

2018-05-17 13:32:22 UTC

Hermies are a result of genetic mutations

2018-05-17 13:32:32 UTC

its the same thing

2018-05-17 13:32:33 UTC

Biologically their systems are either female or male.

2018-05-17 13:33:11 UTC

In families of 3 + boys the liklihood of a middle child turning out gay is signifacantly higher then the eldest or youngest

2018-05-17 13:33:21 UTC

So hermies do not have any biological differences as compared to others of their "real gender"?

2018-05-17 13:33:23 UTC

Plenty of homosexuals choose to be that way, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it.

2018-05-17 13:33:34 UTC

Biologically, no they don't

2018-05-17 13:33:38 UTC

They just have extra parts

2018-05-17 13:33:56 UTC

Yfw Alex Jones was right

2018-05-17 13:34:05 UTC

They're turning the freaking ~~frogs~~ humans gay

2018-05-17 13:34:46 UTC

I do not know the subject matter, i assume you have a solid proof that it is as you say? I can take your word for it because like i said i do not know.

2018-05-17 13:35:08 UTC

I say it with 90% confidence.

2018-05-17 13:35:18 UTC

You can always google for proof.

2018-05-17 13:35:22 UTC

But I'm quite sure in what I say

2018-05-17 13:36:00 UTC

you know gay men try to be straight in many cases and cant do it

2018-05-17 13:36:06 UTC

its not a choice

2018-05-17 13:37:15 UTC

Sure, and in plenty of cases, they just prefer men.

2018-05-17 13:37:23 UTC

And that's fine.

2018-05-17 13:37:30 UTC

Homosexuality is, I believe, a genetics thing yes

2018-05-17 13:37:39 UTC

Not entirely.

2018-05-17 13:37:41 UTC

Something to do with over exposure to oestrogen in the womb.

2018-05-17 13:37:48 UTC

I don't know the specifics

2018-05-17 13:38:34 UTC

you are sold now

2018-05-17 13:38:56 UTC

yes

2018-05-17 13:39:32 UTC

So what you're saying is trannies are <:high_iq:382980759012638731> <:high_iq:382980759012638731> <:high_iq:382980759012638731>

2018-05-17 13:40:04 UTC

why do you think children grow up in normal households treated as a particular gender, but always feel like they are in the wrong body's?

2018-05-17 13:40:28 UTC

Children have little concept of gender please stop abusing prepubescent kids.

2018-05-17 13:40:34 UTC

Thanks

2018-05-17 13:41:23 UTC

they grow up into adulthood and feel this way their whole life

2018-05-17 13:41:27 UTC

"So like when my kid was negative 1 years of age he came out to me as gay and I was soooooo happy"

2018-05-17 13:41:51 UTC

What *I'm* saying is traits of gender dysphoria come about around puberty and not before.

2018-05-17 13:42:29 UTC

no, it just gets more difficult then

2018-05-17 13:42:40 UTC

**skellen#2663** was cleansed from the server.

2018-05-17 13:42:48 UTC

Okay so you're a psychologist and you can confirm this then

2018-05-17 13:42:54 UTC

Hooty we all know you're pulling this shit out of your ass.

2018-05-17 13:43:27 UTC

have you not seen documentaries on this?

2018-05-17 13:43:35 UTC

Tbh I don't know why we bother debating the subjects when we know for 99% certainty the opposition is too interested in their own ideals to see things otherways

2018-05-17 13:43:56 UTC

One of these days that brain imaging will be used on population in general, what do you think would the results of it be?

If you can predict those in people you should be able to screen the general population for the said traits and see how they have handled their sexual identity.

2018-05-17 13:44:19 UTC

Even servers like this can lowkey become an echo chaimber <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

2018-05-17 13:44:33 UTC

read the fucking websites I posted dumb fucks

2018-05-17 13:44:40 UTC

We did.

2018-05-17 13:44:56 UTC

it says clearly it begins in early childhood

2018-05-17 13:44:57 UTC

Insulting the opposition doesn't make them more likely to listen to you ๐Ÿ‘

2018-05-17 13:45:02 UTC

Hold up, just having people of similar opinions all in one place isn't an echo chamber.

2018-05-17 13:45:17 UTC

you think you arent insulting me?

2018-05-17 13:45:19 UTC

We don't actively remove dissenting voices.

2018-05-17 13:45:27 UTC

Fair point

2018-05-17 13:45:28 UTC

Hooty when you are shouting at people please use @ if you want correct people to assume you are talking to them.

2018-05-17 13:45:36 UTC

And beyond that we have some serious dissent.

2018-05-17 13:45:39 UTC

There is many people in this discussion.

2018-05-17 13:45:42 UTC

Point out where we (or I, at least) have insulted you.

2018-05-17 13:46:04 UTC

Not me.

2018-05-17 13:46:08 UTC

Shoot all commies on sight.

2018-05-17 13:46:12 UTC

It's the correct thing to do.

2018-05-17 13:46:15 UTC

My red coloration is purely incidental.

they have been doubting me for hours and I've proven them wrong dozens of times

2018-05-17 13:46:38 UTC

Start the rotors!

2018-05-17 13:46:41 UTC

Oh Marx help me they are unto me!

2018-05-17 13:46:45 UTC

they never learn

2018-05-17 13:46:57 UTC

You have been proven wrong too, Hooty. but because it doesn't fit your narrative you ignore it.

Stop cherry picking for starters.

2018-05-17 13:47:15 UTC

Hooty, can you give me a quick recap what you have stated and what you have proven?

2018-05-17 13:47:37 UTC

wat @M4Gunner ? went to make a tea

2018-05-17 13:47:40 UTC

anyway, I proved transgender is not a mental illness now drop it

2018-05-17 13:47:51 UTC
2018-05-17 13:47:53 UTC

Uh

2018-05-17 13:47:55 UTC

Hooty

2018-05-17 13:48:10 UTC

You do realize that gender dysphora is classified as a mental defect right?

2018-05-17 13:48:12 UTC

Because

2018-05-17 13:48:16 UTC

It's an imbalance

2018-05-17 13:48:18 UTC

In the brain

2018-05-17 13:48:28 UTC

Like how other mental illnesses are imbalances in the brain.

2018-05-17 13:48:40 UTC

So yes. Transgenderism is, by definition, a mental disorder.

2018-05-17 13:48:57 UTC

If you take offense to this then you're just overly sensitive.

2018-05-17 13:48:58 UTC

read the articles

2018-05-17 13:49:30 UTC

Is sociopathy mental illness? As i understand you can predict that from brains of a child as well.

And i am NOT comparing the two just stating that your statement that is is not mental illness due to reasons of brain differences might not be as valid as you think.

2018-05-17 13:49:44 UTC

@M4Gunner I'm a researcher in Philosophy. I don't have clients

2018-05-17 13:50:39 UTC

A lot of things have been called illnesses in history. As i understand not believing in god was one of them.

I've worked in counselling prior which is where the work experience comes from

2018-05-17 13:51:47 UTC

but that was basic "lets just say nice things to you and hope it helps because we have no money to train anyone" shit

2018-05-17 13:52:10 UTC

oh and provide links to online CBT courses ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-05-17 13:52:44 UTC

oh yeah its atrocious

2018-05-17 13:53:48 UTC

6 month training course to be a practitioner in CBT in the UK. No prior relevent qualifacations needed. Fucking disgusting

2018-05-17 13:55:29 UTC

Therapy, imo, requires time and investment on the therapists part to figure out what each patient would actually respond too

2018-05-17 13:55:44 UTC

Most either don't feel they have to do that, or literally have a work load so high they can't

2018-05-17 13:56:05 UTC

Eh...

2018-05-17 13:56:48 UTC

Most people who engage in self-improvement shit are already doing CBT to the level a therapist would teach them to anyway

2018-05-17 13:57:00 UTC

^ agreed

Well as i understand what psychoanalysts say are less important as compared what patients say. Usually the main point of it is to make the people self-reflect.

2018-05-17 13:58:31 UTC

@Omsomething yah, which means if you are already a reflective person its often just frustrating

2018-05-17 13:58:56 UTC

That is CBT

2018-05-17 13:59:09 UTC

Maybe, could be something one should talk with his psycho analyst.

2018-05-17 13:59:10 UTC

the rest is just window dressing to make you BELIEVE you are doing something more

2018-05-17 13:59:23 UTC

because that belief has been shown to have marked effects on success

2018-05-17 14:00:18 UTC

It takes a lot of trust from the side of the pscyhoanalyst to have more "sharp edges" since it can really clam some people up.

2018-05-17 14:00:22 UTC

I assume.

2018-05-17 14:00:26 UTC

No expert here.

2018-05-17 14:01:41 UTC

I agree with all of that @Omsomething @M4Gunner

2018-05-17 14:02:09 UTC

I wonder is there a book named "How to train your psychoanalyst" out there?

2018-05-17 14:02:44 UTC

Pills can be good at that point. I've found that one of the things meds are good for is quieting parts of the mind so you can see new and different perspectives in the moments of stress. Then use these insights without the meds after the fact.

2018-05-17 14:02:54 UTC

Eh

2018-05-17 14:03:28 UTC

Jordan is a smart man i am sure, but a lot of people might see him as a too strong of a figure.

2018-05-17 14:03:29 UTC

gotta get paid

2018-05-17 14:03:56 UTC

How do I post pictures

2018-05-17 14:04:04 UTC

you cant

2018-05-17 14:04:10 UTC

I find his positive case to be fairly dull and outdated. Like, I agree with alot of what hes diagnosed as problems. But take issue with his solutions.

2018-05-17 14:04:26 UTC

Fuck

2018-05-17 14:04:36 UTC

This picture is so epic

2018-05-17 14:04:39 UTC

I am quite sure Peterson does not say what he says on media to his patients before he has analyzed the case.

2018-05-17 14:05:24 UTC

How do I get the upgrade?

2018-05-17 14:05:47 UTC

Can I just buy Sargon Premium?

2018-05-17 14:05:50 UTC

so what did we learn today?

2018-05-17 14:06:12 UTC

They took it off the app store

2018-05-17 14:06:24 UTC

I learned that Hooty is a racist

2018-05-17 14:06:25 UTC

2018-05-17 14:06:25 UTC
