>you either have xx or xy
Not strictly true
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_abnormality
And there are two reasons for someone transitioning outside socjus shit
One is brain scan shit
One is just extreme dysphoria
Both should be a last resort basically
Bio is still going to pump you full of E or T. It doent care what your brain says.
you dont threat mentall illnes with surgery...
Actually they used to. #lobotomy
That's actually not really true at all
Epilepsy in extreme cases is treated with brain surgery basically
In which they cut through the corpus callosum
There's probably a number of other similar instances tbh, and we'll probably find more as time goes on
yea
Mental illness is essentially just errant brain function and the brain is a physical organ
sorry, had to run off
S'all good
I think it might be a case of loving who you are. Kind of accepting who you are maybe?
I guess thats what people define mental illness as I guess. What if a brain tumour is causing something, does removing count as well?
Actually another question
there is difference between mental illness and neurological disorder😉
Do brain tumours cause mental illness?
There is a huge difference Jasse for sure.
and beemann was using example of curing neurological disorder by surgery
And comparing that to mentall illnes.
And the difference between the two is kinda just... not really discussed unless you are an expert on the topic.
Even when you're talking specifically about mental illness we primarily treat that physically
If only its something that is diagnosed as such.
Problem with mental illness though is that its.. very specific
Sure, we don't just go out handing pills and electroconvulsive therapy to randos
Also people cant be trusted to continue their treatment. What if they stop taking their pills for instance
And they rebound violently
But the topic in question was extreme, diagnosed cases of dysphoria
Which is generally treated with pills (not surgery) with elective plastic surgery
And which can be caused by differences in brain structure
Psyco vs physical
Didnt they treat that with vibrators?
There are physical and psychological bases for dysphoria
Anyway speaking of dysphoria I found out about some cult that believes they are reincarnated video game characters.
resetera ?
Oh that's just Tumblrshit
Goes back to weather your body pumps you full of E or T.
And most of them are just LARPing
I mean they claim it was that that brought about the term soulbonding or otherkin
