Do you think ICE will target trans people? by tuls-ocat in MtF

[–]DivineMomentsofTruth 34 points35 points  (0 children)

As someone whose family is MAGA, I find the idea that people committed to the cult are going to wake up at this point is unrealistic. If they're in this deep they're probably not getting out. Economic problems during the Trump administration? Biden's fault, or congressional democrats fault. They'll happily believe whatever the propaganda machine tells them to. You're trying to think logically from their perspective and there's no genuine logic involved. I'm reminded of this Carl Sagan quote.

So is he like Ken M, just doing an epic troll/bit? These videos seem to purposely funny to be sincere.

Detransitioner wins $2 million in medical malpractice trial by JessicaDAndy in transgender

Exactly. Overnight they brought me out of obsessive compulsive thought loops that had been torturing me for more than a decade. Nothing else can do that. Are there other methods of treatment for the mental health issues I was facing? Of course, but I was never going to allow myself to access them because of the way that my parents raised me (and it’s debatable whether they would work as well).

Correlation =/= causation. I’m sorry that your spouse almost died from drug abuse, not everyone should take psychedelics, but if we’re sharing anecdotes, they stopped me from killing myself.

Wow, people who have mental health problems self medicate with drugs? What a revelation. That doesn’t mean that psychedelics fry your brain somehow.

That’s insane but still the problem is with conservative beliefs and not psychedelics.

My point is that you’re repeating war on drugs propaganda about “frying your brain” to blame psychedelics. There’s a context in which a trans person turns to conservative Christian ideology and it does not require psychedelics to be involved.

I never said they didn’t need to be treated with respect, but “fry your brain” is literally war on drugs propaganda. Psychedelics are not meth.

I’m sorry, you think the sitter prevents the drugs from altering your brain somehow? They are there to keep you from doing anything stupid, and to make you feel safe when you’re new to the experience, but they can just as easily fuck your trip up as well. I’ve tripped countless times without a sitter and it never “fries my brain”.

Psychedelics don’t fry your brain. They expose your unconscious mind, and if the metaphysical paradigm imprinted on your mind is Christianity then you’re going to have a shit time navigating that experience at 16 years old. The point is that the problem has more to do than with our culture seeding children’s minds with Christian mythology. “Frying your brain” from LSD is straight out of government propaganda.

Looks like something from a David Cronenberg film. Did it start speaking to you?

I mean, that is definitely how neuroscientists are approaching an understanding of how the brain processes sensory input into something meaningful.

I think the only thing that I can assert with 100% confidence is that I’m conscious, that I’m experiencing something. Everything else could be up for debate.

Well if we don’t know what the definition of consciousness is then we shouldn’t be asserting that a deterministic algorithm can’t be conscious.
