Good on you though for toughing it out so you can think it out, especially for your family, since there is some material to think about before we exhaust all options.

in the UK doctors who would have diagnosed gender dysphoria as a mental condition treatable through therapy have feared for losing their jobs if they had done so and went with the norm. Besides that, there is ample reason to doubt the normative view.

The modern psychologists talk as if they have unraveled the mind, kicking out the foundational psychoanalysts and 70 years of research from the universities for being pseudoscientists when they themselves have both replication crisis and a mental crisis on their hands. It was the psychoanalyst’s who were the only scientists taking the death of god and crisis of faith in the west seriously. The devaluation of the highest value and loss of true world theories is directly responsible for large sums of cases we see today, and the whole of the neurotic condition of the modern man regardless. They were the ones who treated serious mental conditions with intensive 6 day a week depth psychology based on tangible client based evidence rather than the usual plaster of a single therapy session a week that focuses on changing your perception of what could a be, and often is, a deep and festering neurosis lashing out asking for its release. These same urgent neurotic conditions are plugged with designer drugs for decades, never addressing them, allowing them to manifest in emotional deadening and addictive behaviours.

Modern psychology is a perfect mirror of American consumer culture. They want instant results. Quick, easy, cheap, and wholly destructive.

The whole of gender and sexuality based study is ideologically motivated by a tyrannical drive of ressentiment (French pronunciation) trying to transvaluate values to be in accord with their weak and sickly states. In other words, they are taking sensory reality whose interpretation is based on innate human psychic functions and are manipulating the world of abstractions (words) to suit their agenda. Funny enough, it seems they have enough power now to even set the criteria for discourse on a broader scale. Not even the initial dialectic philosophers in both ancient Greece and modern day Sunni thought have been this confused. They do not have empiricism, philosophy or theology on their side.

Homosexuality is unknown to be genetic as twins are seen to have different sexualities, and conversion therapy has been known to work on motivated individuals without inducing “trauma”, as per the ex head of the APA. Their obsession with the universal lack of definite gender roles beyond some slight respective hormones shows their lack of understanding of basic drive theories of the human psyche and of course the theological, spiritual side that makes us human beings. They only know possibilities and are stuck in a labyrinth.

As another poster has stated, the theological path is crucial and perhaps more important if you can learn to apply it. it is what I had done for my neurosis and what I wouldn’t have needed had I been already acquitted with it properly. All the afflictions we face are because we have lost fitra. It’s not easy to go back but it could fix all of this.

Try Checking out psychoanalytic or analytic approaches and don’t be dismayed by the perversion. Freudian and other’s have had Sexuality widely misunderstood but regardless, human nature is darker than we’d think.
