Also people cant be trusted to continue their treatment. What if they stop taking their pills for instance

2018-10-15 15:38:11 UTC  

And they rebound violently

2018-10-15 15:38:14 UTC  

But the topic in question was extreme, diagnosed cases of dysphoria

2018-10-15 15:39:03 UTC  

Which is generally treated with pills (not surgery) with elective plastic surgery

2018-10-15 15:39:17 UTC  

And which can be caused by differences in brain structure

2018-10-15 15:39:18 UTC  

Psyco vs physical

2018-10-15 15:39:39 UTC  

Didnt they treat that with vibrators?

2018-10-15 15:40:33 UTC  

There are physical and psychological bases for dysphoria

2018-10-15 15:41:30 UTC  

Anyway speaking of dysphoria I found out about some cult that believes they are reincarnated video game characters.

2018-10-15 15:41:42 UTC  

resetera ?

2018-10-15 15:41:47 UTC  

Oh that's just Tumblrshit

2018-10-15 15:41:53 UTC  

Goes back to weather your body pumps you full of E or T.

2018-10-15 15:41:58 UTC  

And most of them are just LARPing

2018-10-15 15:42:04 UTC  
2018-10-15 15:42:12 UTC  

I mean they claim it was that that brought about the term soulbonding or otherkin

2018-10-15 15:42:22 UTC  

Your body pumping you full of T but having female brain structure is a physical cause m8

2018-10-15 15:42:35 UTC  

This one specifically say they are "bonded" to the soul belonging to a fictional character.

2018-10-15 15:42:50 UTC  

And.... well I wish it was larping

2018-10-15 15:43:00 UTC  

@Beemann source of that "female brain structure"
afaik its bullshit

2018-10-15 15:43:13 UTC  

But like any community theres the extremes. And it kinda talked about how those extremes manifested itself.

2018-10-15 15:43:25 UTC  

Goes back to accepting who you are though.

2018-10-15 15:43:51 UTC  

I think the main problem with the "trans debate" is that the rampant politicization of the issue means that better solutions will have a hard time getting through

2018-10-15 15:44:03 UTC  

A friend of mine actually visited a discord server to do with that fictional character thing

2018-10-15 15:44:09 UTC  

And I suspect there is a better solution, with a higher success rate, that isn't tied to medical complications

2018-10-15 15:44:16 UTC  

Two guys claimed they were Superman and argued for three hours threatening to kill each other

2018-10-15 15:44:28 UTC  

Someone suggested they were from alternate comic universes so had them recount events

2018-10-15 15:44:40 UTC  

Thank god one of them was comics and the other was Dark Knight

2018-10-15 15:44:53 UTC  

was there reasonable doubt for you to think they were just larpers?

2018-10-15 15:45:13 UTC  

It was a friend who joined, but she said these people were 100% "we are these characters"

2018-10-15 15:45:38 UTC  

Huh, extreme case of whats it? Megalamania?

2018-10-15 15:45:52 UTC  

Nope nevermind

2018-10-15 15:46:04 UTC  

I see it more as a childlike regression into a delusion to avoid having to deal with real life problems

2018-10-15 15:46:08 UTC  

Problem was this was a cult.

2018-10-15 15:46:50 UTC  

We all do want to feel special or unique in some way.

2018-10-15 15:46:55 UTC  

Im talking a "head" of sorts pushing other people into it mostly teens or people with existing mental illnesses. Going so far into conducting rituals to "help them bond" with their supposed characters.

2018-10-15 15:47:27 UTC  

They are smart enough to run the cult, yet insane enough to believe in their own rhetoric

2018-10-15 15:47:47 UTC  

are yall talking about kinnies?

2018-10-15 15:48:03 UTC  

what are those?

2018-10-15 15:48:16 UTC  

I mean I have occasional delusions of grandeur, but that's a case of ambition to actually be a rock musician. Not... yknow, saying I'm literally Alexander The Great

2018-10-15 15:48:31 UTC  

otherkin, fictkin, factkin etc

2018-10-15 15:48:59 UTC  

these ones were called soulbonders specifically
