It also would've been better if someone called him out on his bullshit on the objective, quantitative things, too. I wouldn't be surprised if maybe some did and they got edited out because it didn't serve his point. It kind of looked like one of the girls slightly did, from the "I can be a chinese woman, but not a 6'5" chinese woman" comment.

I try to base my personal philosophy on possibility. If a different sperm had made it to the egg first, there's a very realistic chance you could've been born a different gender. If you really believe that was what should have happened, do what you want. Unless you were conceived in an interracial gangbang, though, there was never any chance of you being born a different race. That being said, if you think that race's culture is better, feel free to assimilate yourself.

If a different sperm made it to the egg, you would have never been born. It would have been your brother/sister.

This is actually closer to the truth. Unless you're a hardcore dualist or science-denier, you have to accept that a different combination of genetics would make you a different person.

stayed away from objective, quantitative things like age

From the article, seems like the person still makes a living plowing snow. If dressing like a six year old and playing with kids stuff while at home keeps the hands off of the pill bottles, then so be it.

That's not identification. That's sickness. He has psychological issues.

[thetruepandagod]

Ageist bigot.

who gives a shit

as long as my neighbor's behavior neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg they can identify as a gender-amorphous space amoeba outside space-time linearity that only defecates in Home Depot broom closets

I doubt anybody disagrees with that

the issue is when people like that demand that they're normal and freak out whenever met with skepticism, the wrong pronoun, or whatever else bullshit 'micro-aggression'.... which in turn affects all of us with legislation. Or whatever campus rules/laws are called since afaik PC bullshit hasn't affected any real law making

[dasva]

Personally I'd kind of like to get disturbed people help but yeah sure no skin off my back if he doesn't. But man I feel for his family

Generally the gender-amorphous when you don't see them as they see themselves. Also where does help for anorexics, bulimics, and addicts fall under with? "my neighbor's behavior neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg" It seems to balance out its respect for freedom with it's lack of altruism.

didn't i already write a post schooling you on the difference between actual psychopathologies and gender dysphoria

[Andalusian girls]

if you're going to use clinical psychology terms you should probably be aware of modern clinical psychology. transsexualism, or as American psychology calls it gender dysphoria (previously gender identity disorder), is considered a medical condition in the DSM-V AND ICD-10 (respectively the American and international Bibles of mental illness diagnostics) but is a separate condition from body dysmorphic disorder, and itself is no longer considered a disorder.

BDD is primarily an anxiety disorder with mild underpinnings of delusion that causes individuals to obsess over a distorted self-image, one out of whack with any objective appraisal and independent of the actual physical state of the individual. there has been a mild push of late to reclassify anorexia nervosa as a subtype of body dysmorphia and for purposes of illustration it exemplifies the most salient feature of BDD. how skinny the individual is or will become is irrelevant to the discomfort the individual feels as a result of the disorder. you can see the contrast with transsexuals who generally do not desire to get more male or female than any human being could ever become.

most pertinently, contrasted with the internal source of distress for body dysmorphic disorder it is now widely accepted that the distress of gender dysphoria is not an intrinsic part of being transgender but is the result of the remaining societal stigma that accompanies the condition. that is to say one can have gender dysphoria and be perfectly well-adjusted and healthy psychology whereas BDD is by definition mental illness.

skrrt

[thetruepandagod]

It was not referencing them as similar things benny boy, I was touching on dasva's "Personally I'd kind of like to get disturbed people help"

And yes, I consider a 52 yr old that see's them self as 7yr old a person that could benefit from help.

Regardless of how the DSM views any of the above.

[Andalusian girls]

some would want to get an insecure 27 year old male who shoots up anabolic steroids because he wants to look good naked help

[thetruepandagod]

Just sittin here wishin I had a friend that would get me meth and watch jungle book.

and it's laughable the majority of people who fixate on examples like the one above are primarily concerned with ensuring the individuals in question receive mental health treatment. you treat these people with ridicule and mock the self-evident absurdity of their existence.

to enlighten my previous Jefferson quote, so long as the behavior in question does not harmfully effect others, and is below some maximum threshold of self-harm (anorexia nervosa with the highest mortality rate of all psychopathologies? you need help. smoking a pack a day for 20 years? free country no) we as outsiders have no right, and from what i can see no interest beyond either prejudice or a desire to enforce normative behavior, to affect change.

Except in this case abandoning your kids is a pretty harmful effect on them. Though that has nothing to do with his preference to be a 6 year old girl I guess. There are lots of people who decide they don't want to adult anymore and run off abandoning various responsibilities.

[thetruepandagod]

Is there no place for the enforcement of normative behavior?

[Lyall]

Shelter from the mid-life crisis: Just identify as a younger, unmarried man and ditch your wife and kids. Anyone accusing you of flaking out of your responsibilities is just oppressing your true nature and spirit.

[Thunder]

Is there no place for the enforcement of normative behavior?

nope

just don't encourage abnormal behavior, imo

Like doctors and/or parents giving young children hormones because they're convinced they're supposed to be a girl
Or like enforcing using weird pronouns because a stranger using a she/he offends some people
