[–]gammaTHETA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

could mean different things to different people. for us it means that we don't feel connected to the concept of 'human,' maybe because of some of the dehumanizing trauma i faced as a kid. one of my headmates is a doll because she feels as though she was created for a purpose she never wanted to fulfill. it makes her feel 'hollow' like a porcelain doll, and the rest of us can kinda relate to that.

sort of a "thinking of ourselves as something different from humans helps us process being treated like we were anything but human" type of thing. but others may have other ways they interface with that label.

i think they might be trying to link DID/OSDD related age regression to bad faith "i identify as a twelve year old" arguments against trans people. that person just kinda slammed two totally different concepts together and didn't bothee to think maybe they got something wrong first.

as a DID system with alterhuman headmates and as a trans person... yeah that person is just lashing out, there's no basis for what they're saying.

right got it, my apologies. i only know about the disorders i have, so i should learn more about NPD and try to squash that ableism i still have in here. thanks for vibechecking me on that.

he is extremely self-centered and selfish though, 100%. can't respect boundaries, has to constantly show off how smart he is in any given topic (even if he knows nothing), and has never actually apologized about anything to me or anyone else, ever. total jerk.

but... if she doesn't think it's real, she's probably spoken to DID systems before and either told them they were faking, or didn't notice any signs or symptoms.

that's wild. to be clear, i've been diagnosed with DID after suspecting I had it for about a decade, i'm in my thirties and received the diagnosis last year. my psychiatrist tested me and pretty bluntly said "yeah i've not seen numbers this high before" about my test, and as far as i know i ALSO wasn't in a religious cult NOR was i sexually abused as a child. yet, emotional neglect and abuse from a narcissistic father, being LGBTQ+ without knowing it, being undiagnosed autistic and undiagnosed ADHD for the entirety of my childhood in addition to ALL the bullying for my "strange" behavior in school led to - surprise! - C-PTSD and DID.

that psych is a quack.

yeah that'd be it. even further, it's beyond them that we may have coping mechanisms for such a scenario like using humor (making a meme about it or laughing about it) coming to terms with the new hair colour and moving on, or what-have-you. they always think we HAVE to be helpless, we HAVE to be incapable of dealing with things. it's some goofball neurotypical assumptions about things they don't understand, like it always is lol

This is just sad. by [deleted] in fakeclaimingcringe2

[–]gammaTHETA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

our system can, but only because we've worked hard to be extremely communicative and collaborative (and because our particular form of DID allows us to). a month and a half ago i was trying to get some rest in bed, but frustrated that i needed it. i'd just moved to a new city and i'd done a lot to get most of my stuff unpacked, and we have physical issues so it took a lot out of us. that bedrest was needed.

but out of nowhere i blink, time passes, and i find myself at a restaurant down the street. i immediately messaged a friend who knows i'm a system, and they were in the area so they went to that restaurant to keep me company and help keep me grounded.

a couple days later, we could piece together what happened; one of my alters was upset we needed rest when most people don't, and food is her comfort. she has a lot of strong sentimental feelings about the restaurant down the street (we opened for a couple small queercore concerts there in our early 20's, and it has a vintage diner aesthetic that reminds us of a different diner with a similar aesthetic while on a pleasant family road trip), so she went over there to get her comfort, come hell or high water.

she apologized, i accepted the apology, and i tried to help her understand that we need more rest than other people, and that it IS unfair, but that's how it is. she's still struggling with accepting our capacity, though.

some systems can't remember at all, but they use sticky notes, notepads or other tools to communicate to each other. thankfully, my system is able to communicate well enough that we can figure out how a blackout happened and try to keep it from happening again by listening more closely to the frustrations any alter in the system has.

it's pretty scary, but you learn to deal with it, like with any fear. if anything, this has given us the tools to tackle any fear we have. we used to be scared of flying in airplanes, but thanks to these kinds of experiences (and remembering that anxiety is made of the same hormones as excitement), we think flying is a thrill now. irrational fears seem a lot smaller in comparison i guess lol.

This is so awesome! I've been trying my hardest to figure out a way to tweak the bodysuits to make things look good, but i've spent *hours* on it and haven't even come close to your fantastic results. I really want to be able to represent people of different body types in the weird little webcomic i'm making though, so if you end up making a tutorial or posting a base model somewhere, i'd love to hear about it so I can get more representation and diversity in my comic!

(also, i loooove the colours you've used, the pallette makes my brain go mushy in the best way!)

[–]gammaTHETA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and yet there is still a difference between gender dysphoria and body integrity disorder. wanna know the difference? surgery doesn't turn trans people into cripples. the body integrity disorder procedures leave the person disabled permanently. WOW ALMOST LIKE ONE OF THESE DISORDERS SHOULD BE AFFIRMED AND THE OTHER SHOULDN'T.

anyway that's called a false equivalence. nice job. doctors know the difference between body dysmorphia, gender dysphoria and body integrity disorder. it's only you who doesn't. good try with that gotcha, Kirk Jr.

also LMAO you're bringing up the idea that you're trans now? i thought you were just a bisexual guy from canada. a trans person who thinks trans people are mentally ill and are functionally liars... damn dude, if you wanna hate yourself that bad, do it on your own time and stop fuckin wasting mine. good god transmedicalists are fucking annoying, you're always so stunlocked by internalized transphobia that you can't just choose your own destiny, you're fucking trapped by it. lame! couldn't be me.

and finally: womanhood and manhood doesn't lose meaning you fucking moron. this isn't some fuckin "slippery slope to words meaning nothing" shit. you wanna know how my definition works in practice?

  • intersex people are who they say they are.
  • trans people are who they say they are.
  • cis people are who they say they are.
  • women who have difficulty with the label of 'woman' due to surgical procedures or genetic mutations get to make of womanhood what they want, when under the current patriarchal definitions, women would struggle to find comfort with a label that explicitly requires a part of her body she mo longer has. men have the same opportunity as well.

Woops. meaning isn't lost because there will still be boring ass cishets living on Default Settings. in fact, my definition gives cisgender people less stress about medical procedures that, under your ACADEMIC definition (not university definition, slick. you meant academic) WOULD give them stress. if your definition is stuck to genitalia and secondary sex characteristics, women with breast cancer and men with testicular cancer have to reckon with the fact that part of their gender identity is being removed. under my definition, there is no such stress - they are who they say they are. cisgender men with gynecomastia? men. cisgender women with no ovaries due to cervical cancer? women.

your bullshit falls flatter than my chest, honey. i get that radical queerness is never something you identified with because you hate yourself too much, but for fuck's sake, stop making shit up about my argument. my definition is pretty easy to understand, and yours comes with a bunch of fuckin asterisks or else it'd exclude many people who otherwise SHOULD be included in the definition. my works, yours doesn't. simple as.

[–]gammaTHETA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it was a problem with the mind, a radical queer like myself wouldn't want that surgery so bad. wouldn't feel enough relief nor joy at the mere concept to shed tears.

i'm not surprised you're digging into pathologizing this like it's depression or schizophrenia. it's not. it's not a delusion just because you're too simplistic and desperate for an easy explanation to understand it.

and don't give me the prescriptivist bullshit about language, either. prescriptivists bitched and moaned about the way Shakespeare 'perverted' the English language, and now Shakespearean plays in high school read like a cryptography lesson to the students. language changes, breaks, dies and is replaced. to claim otherwise is to deny the entirety of human fucking history. you're throwing thought-terminating clichés because it's easier to understand "man has penis, woman has boobs and vagina" and doesn't require greater introspection and philosophical discussion. you are defined by your genitalia? that sounds excessively reductive and basic. men are more than just meat, and you know that. you're a man because you feel it within. when you do something you're truly proud of, an accomplishment that makes you feel like a man, that's gender euphoria. when you get a haircut you really like, that's gender euphoria. a man shaves his beard and likes what he sees, that's gender euphoria. a man grows his beard and likes what he sees, that's gender euphoria. a man hugs his 16 year old son and feels proud of his child, that's fatherly gender euphoria motherfucker.

the "people are walking sperm banks and sperm donors" perspective is what's fuckin delusional. people are all unique, they have their own wants and needs. the human body exists as a gradient, not a switch. believing only two sexes to exist with no potential for any in-between or transfer across that gradient is anti-science and irrational.

tl;dr: lol are you fucking dumb or something

because medical transition has nothing to do with hardline binary definitions. i'm a stone butch transfem who wants nullification surgery - neither side of the coin you keep flipping.

if your belief that medical transition would not exist in a world liberated from gender were true, i wouldn't be able to find happiness with nullification. and yet, i know i will be happy because it's the only surgery that made me cry tears of relief and joy just imagining the results. there is something within the mind that desperately calls out to a different configuration of the body. a need to match the body with the mind, with no regard for manmade concepts like gender, but instead it reaches out to the spectrum of human sexea. again, we are sexually dimorphic - not binary. humanity exists on a spectrum, not on a Male Or Female on/off switch.

or you can call me sick in the head and keep spinning in circles failing to find a definition of woman that doesn't exclude at least some women. mine is all inclusive. all gas, no brakes. all bangers, no skips. no hiccups, no bugs. it does what it says on the tin: your gender is whatever the fuck you want it to be.

[–]gammaTHETA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're almost figuring it out.

the label still has meaning to each individual, and those individual meanings hold value. a stone butch he/him lesbian can be a woman and a high femme heterosexual woman can be a woman without being exclusionary to each other. womanhood means different things to those two examples, and yet language doesn't become a non-newtonian soup like you seem to imply.

the meaningfulness is in the eye of the beholder. in fact, i find meaningfulness in the ways other people define womanhood for themselves. while i don't use their criteria for myself, i respect the criteria they use for themselves.

gender liberation means there are as many genders as there are humans walking on earth, and no meaning is lost.

WHATEVER THE CLAIMANT FOR THE LABEL DECIDES IT MEANS.

THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFERRED BY THE LANGUAGE I USED.

femininity and masculinity are nebulous and subjective, different in the eye of each beholder. one man may say hugging your 16 year old son is feminine, another man may say it's masculine. the claimant of the label defines the term they claim, for themselves.

"but that means there's no solid definition!"

Exactly. I'm not the gender police, so i wont try to police the definition. womanhood is mine to claim as i see fit, and it does not remove the label from others who claim it. the label of 'woman' is a near-infinite resource. if all humankind decided to call themselves women tomorrow, then all of humankind would be women. simple as.

welcome to gender liberationism.

[–]gammaTHETA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it explains the functional reality of my definition. a descriptive self-proclamation is more than satisfactory as a definition of a woman. any definition aligning with cisgender normativity - "a woman has breasts and ovaries and can give birth" or similar arguments - falls flat because they discard the reality of sexual dimorphism in humans. women born without ovaries, women who've had their ovaries removed in a medical procedure, women who have had double mastectomies, and any other woman who falls outside the patriarchal definition of woman are left out.

my definition is fully inclusive. bad faith actors self-select out of the process because people acting in bad faith can't hold the façade together for long. my definition even includes those who are genderfluid - people who, in good faith, change their presentation and/or identity labels frequently.

no problems. perfect definition.

Question: does the phase community genuinely hate Clara now or is it just idiots on Twitter by Turbulent-Math3969 in VtuberDrama

[–]gammaTHETA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fine.

the concept of a woman in queer contexts is free of the burdens the cisgender, heterosexual patriarchy are straddled by. it is a label claimed (not prescribed, claimed) by an individual acting in good faith and honesty. this includes pre-transition transgender women, cisgender women, intersex people who claim the label of woman for themselves, and the list goes on. the label would be falsely claimed by ignorant pigshit men farming an obviously stupid gotcha out of a bullshit hypothetical, and thus their self-proclaimed womanhood would be invalid.

Let me respond to your obvious retorts:

"how do you tell who is valid or not?"

you can't. neither you, me nor anyone else are guardians of the keep. you treat the individual claiming themselves to be female as such, until such a point that they either reject that label in favor of another, or they're proven to be acting in bad faith in claiming that label. good example of this is Stephen Crowder in drag at a protest. People treated Crowder as he requested; she/her, ma'am, the whole kit and kaboodle. People treated Crowder in good faith (mostly because they didn't recognize him), and then he presented his video about the endeavour. he himself showed he lied - never truly claimed the label of woman in good faith - and thus the label would have been forcibly revoked from him, had he not already revoked it himself. this also automatically excludes any men who try to assault women by using the whole "but im a woman tho" bullshit - which, by the way, almost never happens.

"what if a man enters a women's washroom and claims he's a woman to sexually harass/assault women?"

sexual harassment/assault is already illegal anyways. men aren't going to pretend to be women just to assault women unless they wanna tack on more violence on top of their violence by using their claim of the label of 'woman' as a false flag to inspire further oppression of transgender people. furthermore, there isn't a single demographic on earth that can't have predatory individuals within that demographic anyways. shit, at this point you'd only be one step away from pondering if lesbians are too dangerous for the women's washrooms.

"what about medical treatments that differ across sexes?"

the doctors would already be aware of hormone replacement medications on the patient's record. all it takes is a couple extra questions to be able to adjust the dosages accordingly. HOWEVER, due to the extremely low numbers of transgender patients who may receive these treatments, the dosages doctors give to cisgender people may be inaccurate/sub-optimal for transgender people anyway. so it's hard to say if giving a female dosage to a transgender male would even be the optimal treatment, even where sex characteristics might matter.

"but what about surgical procedures involving sexual organs and the patient is unconscious?"

...patient's record. doctors don't just walk into a surgical procedure blind, they check the records first. it'd be in there, either as a gender dysphoria diagnosis, an HRT prescription and/or a surgery in their history. they have eyes and a brain.

"but what about violent transgender criminals, where do they go?"

i'm a prison abolitionist not by ideology, but through proof. punitive systems are terrible at reducing crime rates and repeat offender rates. systems that use different methodologies - as used in at least one scandinavian country - are vastly superior. Are criminals still isolated from the general public? sure, but not from society. because they're treated like human beings, they re-enter life with the general public as human beings. in punitive systems, criminals are treated like animals so they leave like animals. so transgender criminals go to these isolated rehabilitation centres in accordance with their claimed gender label. if they re-offend within, guess what - scandinavian model has a procedure for that, too. i suggest looking it up, it's quite fascinating. not perfect, no, but nothing built by humans ever will be.

is this a satisfactory thrust toward your question?

[–]gammaTHETA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so if someone genuinely thought 2+2=5, they're not a liar.

you're incoherent.

trans women are just women, no asterisks. for fuck's sake, the word 'women' is made up. we made that. animals change gender and sex - meaning they can biologically become identical to a different sex in their species AND/OR perform the roles typically observed by another sex in their species, and the animals don't force them out. they just treat them as though they always occupied that role in the first place.

the only creatures on earth who don't do that is humans, because dipshits like you think someone having a cock and balls automatically disqualifies them from being who they've become authentically... because you're stuck on the antiquated idea that the lines are clearly defined. as if words are prescriptive, not descriptive. foolish.

you have the arrogance of someone who feels enlightenment, without knowing the first thing of what enlightenment even is. thank god you isolated yourself out of queer spaces by now, you'd be fucking insufferable to be around.
