@GoldenPhoenix they have no delusions

Evening Otto.

a "token" person / couple **can** work. The problem arises when their only purpose is to make the viewers / readers happy

why did mee6 say that

@GoldenPhoenix and therapy, counseling, leads to suicide

at random

we have the data. Trannies that seek counseling commit suicide more often

and im not surprised at all

But you get what I mean by characters that do matter, their personalities, their characteristics, and their actions should matter.

we also have data that ones that transition don't decrease in suicide rates

any person with mental or psychiatric issue will suicide if he receives counseling

psychology is hate

Well trans gender people suffer from a mental illness even if it was reclassified from being such

🍤this shrip?

@The Yellow King mental illness and delusion is not the same thing

It's like the people who have any kind of dysphoria the problem isn't their body it is their brain abnormalities

yes Dusty, and depending on what the main character has to overcome, a token person can be beneficial - even though it isn't recommended

@The Yellow King also, no, its not a mental illness. its either psychiatry or neurology.

hi hello

@AHeroQuest

The extra characters should have their own underlining plot as well.

Just look at the people that want to chop their own limbs off actually letting them do it is not beneficial

hoi @Xombii ~

😄

Gender Dysphoria is the Intersex of neurology

With all the plots from all characters coming to head on the finale.

see, you don't want token characters, you want real characters

I never said Token Characters.

I said I wanted the diverse characters to matter.

on one hand yes. supporting characters do need their own story arcs, but when it overshadows the MC that's when the story fails to follow it's own plot (again, that depends on if it is intentional)

It technically is a disorder, but it's not going to cause actual harm by mere existence.

@Abel its a disorder but not mental in nature

Rather it is LGBT, any race, any religion, or any political stance; I want them to matter and have their own stories.

It is though

many people conflate neurology, psychiatry and psychology though.

Only psychology is mental

Oh all right you're using a more specific terminology

Why can't we have those background plots, that really don't take the main focus of the story, but are there if you pay attention?

@Dusty MorganFun fact, there's a trans character in Alien

you're conflating psychiatry with a field of scientific study

Didn't know that Abel.
