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
Your body pumping you full of T but having female brain structure is a physical cause m8
This one specifically say they are "bonded" to the soul belonging to a fictional character.
And.... well I wish it was larping
But like any community theres the extremes. And it kinda talked about how those extremes manifested itself.
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
A friend of mine actually visited a discord server to do with that fictional character thing
And I suspect there is a better solution, with a higher success rate, that isn't tied to medical complications
Two guys claimed they were Superman and argued for three hours threatening to kill each other
Someone suggested they were from alternate comic universes so had them recount events
Thank god one of them was comics and the other was Dark Knight
was there reasonable doubt for you to think they were just larpers?
It was a friend who joined, but she said these people were 100% "we are these characters"
Huh, extreme case of whats it? Megalamania?
Nope nevermind
I see it more as a childlike regression into a delusion to avoid having to deal with real life problems
Problem was this was a cult.
We all do want to feel special or unique in some way.
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.
They are smart enough to run the cult, yet insane enough to believe in their own rhetoric
are yall talking about kinnies?
what are those?
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
otherkin, fictkin, factkin etc
these ones were called soulbonders specifically
