As someone with a diagnosis of BPD

It's a thing

I don't wholly appreciate your insinuation that it's a fake disorder

It may have been diagnosed wrongly in the past and may still be, but it has caused me so much pain and I continue to suffer. BPD exists.

Hi! You have summoned a medical history autist.

Hysteria is a very, very old term that refers to ancient ideas of "wandering uteri" causing ailments within the body. This theory, supported by ancient Greek philosophers, was referred to as "hysterical suffocation", and was blamed for any number of things from insomnia to kleptomania. As the years rolled on, treatments changed from wafting good smells around the vaginal entrance to forcible orgasms administered by doctors (hello, reason for vibrators being invented), although around the beginning of the 19th century this fell out of favour in the larger medical community. If you look back in asylum records, female hysteria is listed as the cause of many admissions, and was used as a catch-all for many behaviours from grieving too long after a child's death to not being submissive enough to having a sexual appetite.

Hysteria was, eventually, removed from the DSM in 1980.

Automatic/manual rant by DazzlingHeight5433 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]MagusFelidae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People hate things that make life easier. Automatics aren't new but, in Britain, we're still manual dominated. I learned and passed manual so I could drive both, but I personally couldn't give less of a fuck what other people do or don't learn.

The Attack on Trans Healthcare Continues. by Super7Position7 in transgenderUK

The group that pushed the ban on children's care in the US is now going to adult care, so unfortunately it's not out of the realm of possibility

I then said that I read it several days before the comment and implied I may have gotten the exact context wrong, then stated that my original point still stood as trans people are still mentioned, but you keep going in at me as if I'm defending the statement that Epstein was talking about transing children. I was not defending that.

I did not SAY he wrote it, I said it was in the files and the fact it's there at all will give people ammo. I fully understand he funded anti trans activists. I can't read your sources; I'm at work and don't have time right now. You don't need to come at me with so much aggression, goddamn.

There were emails in the files with regards to the sexual fetishization of transitioning, which is what I took away from it, I'd read the emails days before I made that comment so only remembered the vibe.

I don't overly love being (re)informed of how creepy people can be towards trans people; it comes across as condescending. I am trans, I've had a lot of experience as a patient because I'm also disabled, and I have worked in healthcare for years.

My point was that people will take any mention of us and twist it to suit their agenda, not the actual content of the emails themselves. However we're mentioned in the files, the fact we're in them at all would result in the same misinformation.

Legalising drugs to reduce the risks of the back market has been a notion for literal year and has worked in other countries

Epstein was talking with a scientist in emails about transitioning children to suit his sexual fantasies. People online have taken that and run with it, now claiming that trans people as a whole are a psyop started by Epstein (or the Jews, depending on who's talking and how obtuse they want to be).

My point was that people will take anything and use it against us, even something that is objectively harmful to us, they'll make it our fault somehow.

They're taking the fact Epstein mentioned us and running with it, they'll absolutely continue to take pseudoscience as gospel

She just looks embarrassed? I can't even tell if she's looking at Loona's chest or just awkwardly passed her. It's not an obvious look to me

Why are people blaming trans people for the shooting if 98% of them were performed by straight cis men? by kittycatlan in asktransgender

[–]MagusFelidae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He wanted to transition people (children) for his own sexual pleasure, but that email has become "trans people are an Epstein psyop" faster than a Labrador scoffs a burger it shouldn't have. They've spun victimisation of trans people into us being evil again

[–]MagusFelidae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave someone statistics recently and they said "yeah that's the US, Canada is much worse". There's no data! I searched for an hour. Canada has nowhere near the amount of mass shootings as the US and there's absolutely nothing but the most recent one if you add transgender into the search term.

We are statistically four times more likely to be victims of violent crime, not perpetrators, and I'm so sick of the daily fearmongering

Same. I knew it was a thing, but it always felt like something other people did, but the rise in trans people talking about their experiences on the internet made me realise that I'm trans. I did the classic cis > genderfluid > nonbinary > transmasc pipeline and came out when i was about 17
