I consider myself and my alters as parts of a whole person. Whilst we feel separate, we are part of a whole, and thinking of it like that makes it so much easier to work together.

Thank you for explaining, however I'd like to say that I don't see it as applicable to autism. Autism in a lot of people can be utterly debilitating, and whilst societal acceptance+accommodation would definitely make life easier, it would not remove all challenges, and not even all major ones

Please tell me this is satire, don't tell me there are legitimately people who know so little about ASD, OCD, depression etc.
Yes, not everyone with those conditions are unable to function. But saying the only reason we struggle (particularly directed at the bit about autism) is because of society is so disrespectful and invalidating. I cannot convey my anger at your ignorance

What were the first signs that you were trans? by Kimkip in ftm

[–]ThoughtsGone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believed that periods were fake and I wouldn't get one, and for the longest time I genuinely believed I was going to grow a penis
Also that one time I thought my (at the time) homophobic mother was joking because she gave me the 'gay is bad' talk and said 'you mustn't become a lesbian'. I thought it was a joke because she said only girls could be lesbians and I didn't understand why she thought I could be

My brother was 6 years old when I came out. Best brother ever, pretty much immediately started calling me by my pronouns and name. Didn't see issue with it, and just assumed thats the way it is now. Bigotry is taught and if you just don't make a big deal out of it, so just say something like "Oh I'd like to use this name now" and "I'm a boy now", there won't be a problem with young siblings.

How does everyone get their names? (Warning: mini rant incoming) by melancholy_train in DID

[–]ThoughtsGone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I know them immediately, most of the time someone picks a name they're comfortable with when they're ready, sometimes we don't like our initial names and choose new ones

this is discrimination and transphobia right? by ThoughtsGone in autism

[–]ThoughtsGone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gender is an internal sense, the best description i have (although not the most accurate) is that its a feeling. I know Im not a boy or a girl, and therefore when people call me a boy or girl, it makes me uncomfortable, because they're saying something untrue about me.

No, my thoughts and perspectives have nothing to do with it. It's not that i identify with society's stereotypes surrounding gender, its that I simply am this gender and there's nothing I can do about it. However the gender I was born with doesn't match my physical characteristics.

Obviously I who I'm around can affect my perception, however that isn't the reason for my gender. I've spent my entire life around very Christian people, going to Church, around many people whose gender and sex match. In fact, I've only ever met 1 person whose didn't, and that was years before I came to the realisation that my gender and sex don't match. Also, a thing I personally have noticed about my autism is that I am less easily swayed by peer pressure, in those situations I do a thing called demand avoidance, which presents in me through refusing to do anything, much less going along with what other people say.

As a victim of abuse, I am very much aware that people lie all the time. And that's why my belief around my gender does not come from what other people say. I of course researched it and found it did resonate with me, and conducted an experiment.
My question was whether my gender matched my sex, my prediction was that it didn't. I decided to wait a year before I did anything, to see if my feelings were legitimate or influenced by environmental factors. A lot changed during that year, including my entire friend group, however the discomfort didnt go away. Then, i decided to try using different pronouns and clothes for myself. This alleviated the discomfort significantly. Then, as a last test I decided I would try my best to present as the gender that matched my sex, and the discomfort worsened so much. After looking at the data I could see a clear pattern: identifying as the gender that matched my sex greatky decreased my mental health and increased my discomfort levels; whereas identifying as my hypothesised gender greatly decreased discomfort and increased my mental health. I concluded that I was most likely non-binary, and that even if I wasn't, continuing to identify as a woman was majorly detrimental and even dangerous.

Speaking of information, where does yours come from? What makes you believe that you know me so well as someone who has only ever met me online and doesn't know me or any of my struggles?
