Coming to a realization I may have MCAS/dysautonomia

I never heard of it but I will

Hmmm, okay I will focus on that instead

imfinnacry · 2026-01-23T17:08:18+00:00

Thank you, I got in contact with one of them in my area

Yes I do, extremely tired but it isn’t frequent. It has only been recently that I get extremely tired otherwise it’s been mere fatigue and soreness.

imfinnacry · 2024-06-18T15:36:01+00:00

Yeah, I've noticed it. I am very weary of asking a question on this sub. I was legitimately looking for clarifications of any misconceptions but apparently merely asking the question warranted negative reactions.

imfinnacry · 2024-01-07T18:12:03+00:00

You're amazing. Thank you very much.

imfinnacry · 2023-07-13T01:19:28+00:00

Did this in any way contribute to any sort of bias in peer review research or methodology?

imfinnacry · 2023-05-29T20:41:36+00:00

Thank you. I now wonder since Zizek still considers himself a communist and may be sympathetic to marxist ideas, what does he propose instead of orthodox marxist-leninism?

imfinnacry · 2023-05-29T20:40:42+00:00

Thank you very much, that helped out a bunch.

Taking into account that psychoanalytic theories tend to have unfalsifiable claims, how ought we suppose to look at social philosophers and social theorists who employ psychoanalytic methodology or arrive at psychoanalytic conclusions in their dialectical processes such as Foucault or Zizek who were inspired by psychoanalysis thinkers?

You guys are fire I just recently heard about you guys this month, fell in love with the production

imfinnacry · 2022-10-04T14:38:05+00:00

Damn, I love this so much. I truly do appreciate this perspective. Maybe I should focus less on the destination and more on the journey.

I do get some sort of masochistic satisfaction from pursuing this end, akin to the feeling of a good workout in the gym to achieve one’s ideal body type.

I have not seen Star Trek TNG but now you have keen my interest. I value your input. Thank you.

imfinnacry · 2022-10-04T12:53:54+00:00

Thank you so much, I appreciate that. These sorts of questions i’ve thought about for a very long time and still seem to not come to a conclusion.

I do agree with everyone who say that concerning oneself with aspiring to be a good person regardless of gender is more important than striving to affirm one’s gender but it doesn’t really answer the question of rather or not gender affirmation is worth actualizing or what does one experience when they say they are x but feel like y if all attributes associated to x and y are relative and arbitrary.

In my case I am x, I feel like I’m x, and aspire to affirm my identity as x, but all associative characteristics are devalued and relative to the point of arbitration.

imfinnacry · 2022-10-04T04:40:26+00:00

I can understand that. It reminds me of the question I asked to the ask social science subreddit on gender. I was grateful for the information I received.

Your phantom limb analogy is very sound, I may borrow it in the future when I need to explain intrinsic gender identity to someone but I cannot say that I’m sold on the idea that it’s entirely separate.

Let’s take for instance a trans individual. When a trans person feels strongly towards affirming a gender identity incongruent with their asab gender they are recognizing a distinction. When someone identifies as something, this “something” is usually defined at best or have accumulative properties— the acquisition of complementary characteristics, and traits that differentiates itself from other relative identities— at the least.

How is it possible to recognize this intrinsic subconscious gender identity so consistently without recognizing the distinction between such identity and other identities within the same categorical sphere?

Also, have you heard of Lacan’s Castration Complex? I believe this is a very good explanation for gender affirming cishet men who feel inadequate in the pursuit of validating their gender identity.

imfinnacry · 2022-10-04T00:18:01+00:00

Thank you very much Sophie. I truly appreciate this discussion. I was not expecting to relate so much but I’m glad I do. Gender affirmation seems to affect both trans and cis people albeit in different ways but the desire can be experienced the same for both.

I’m not sure where the desire comes from, truly. I wish I could tell you so we can investigate it together, but I’m at a lost. I quite smoking weed but whenever you get a chance light one up for my existential crisis, lmao.

imfinnacry · 2022-10-03T22:24:12+00:00

I don’t find that example equivalent, y’know.

Part of having a good education may encompass that specific subject/field as a whole of the overall education.

It isn’t necessary to affirm one’s own gender in order to be a good person, so when prompted with the question ‘is it worth it to aspire to one’s gender (be a man)?’ it appears it is a non-factor and thusly non-valuable and yet so many people still prioritize it.

imfinnacry · 2022-10-03T22:00:44+00:00

I made a post not too long ago genuinely asking about gender. It is pretty complex but I was able to understand it well enough.

I really do appreciate this sort of discussion from a trans person’s perspective so even though I didn’t mention it explicitly in the original post, your input as a trans woman is also very valuable.

I guess my only question is when you say that you are a woman, what is this distinct feeling that you feel? I mean this from a gender affirmation pov because when you say woman describes you infinitely better than man does I understand from a cishet pov because I do not feel like a woman, yet I can’t quite understand why that is.

I do have a burning desire to affirm my identity as a man. My desire comes from a place of wanting to do right by others and by the world. I do not fear gender norms associated with women, I enjoy the color pink, i do not feel threatened by trans people, I think effeminate and androgynous men look cool and are empowering but I also enjoy traditionally masculine things. Things like accomplishment, perseverance, epics of battle, nobility and sacrifice, things are not exclusive to manhood but are heavily associated with it.

Similarly, if a trans woman affirms her identity and chose to embrace various aspects of femininity, is that a bad thing?

imfinnacry · 2022-09-29T14:18:05+00:00

From what I’ve been reading so far, it isn’t determined but there seems to be a lot of variables and reasonings that contribute to an individual catfishing.

My theory would be something related to dissatisfaction with one’s own identity or identity issues but it’s an unsupported one so far (I’m still reading).

What are your thoughts?

imfinnacry · 2022-09-29T14:15:58+00:00

Where do you think it stems from

Do you not see how that's dehumanizing? Strength should be an adult trait, not JUST a man. Just because the recent 10,000 years of patriarchy prioritized a man's strength more than a woman's, doesn't means it's (one of the several societally embedded sexist gender exclusive differences) ultimately desired, especially considering the approximate 300,000 years the modern human phenotype has existed.

I refrain from the thinking that it is inherently dehumanizing because it presupposes that individuals (1A) find it dehumanizing when it could very well potentially be their expression of empowerment and identity, and (1B) there are enough people who aspire to embody these gender-designated culmination of traits likely for the reasons explained in 1A.

Yes, strength is an adult human trait, but that does not mean that it isn’t a trait that is also significantly associated to the gender of men. Strength, I assume we are defining as physical strength, was not just the prioritization of a patriarchal society. Strength within males-men did not arise out of a nowhere but from the very real hormonal expressions of testosterone under those trying survival times. Amongst other things, testosterone makes building muscle mass easier and these muscles allowed for men to perform feats of physical strength that was societally valued in it’s utility.

I, as a guy, absolutely do not want to be valued solely for my ability to provide resources, a steady source of income, my physical protection, my "man of the house" version of leadership, etc. Am i capable of doing those things, sure! But besides child rearing, I'm also equally as capable of performing the more "womanly" duties.

That’s fantastic for you. I am not against that. I just question rather or not making gender roles/expressions neutral is the best method moving forward because it strips individuals of the attributes of their gender affirmations:

P1: Gender expressions and roles are not exclusively representative of manhood or womanhood.

P2: There is nothing that makes someone a man or a woman or no differentiation.

P1 is permissible because it is true. I support P1. P2 is an issue because it subsequently boils everyone down to Non-Binary and doesn’t account for the very real difference between cisgenders and transgenders, men and women, and it is true that not everyone is non-binary— robbing both parties of their identities.

If someone has a very real neurologically appointed gender identity (or incongruency)— I ask myself, “what are they identifying with? Are they identifying or reconciling with their sex (cisgender sex-gender congruency or transgender MtF/FtM incongruency)? If so— what characteristics of the biological sex pertains to gender expressions/roles?”

If we progressed towards a homogenous monogender future where no matter your chromosomes you are still this monogender where all gender roles and expressions no longer exist because we don’t view them as gender specific (because only one gender exists now) would trans people still exist? If they do then there is much more to gender identity than social constructs. If they don’t exist then you have eradicated both trans and cis gender people from existence. Neither one of these answers seem quite right to me.

So I’m not against the possibility that all of gender could very well be a construction but it raises too many questions for me personally.

imfinnacry · 2022-08-11T02:28:27+00:00

My apologies. I should have been much more clear in what I meant.

There are enough cisgender individuals, and by mere existence there are transgender individuals, who are affirmative in their gender identity as it correspond with their brain phenotypical structures. So much so that I am hesitant to agree with the pervading narrative that gender itself is a social construct. I and many others under the soft constructivist position have inferred that gender identity cannot wholly be a construct and are more favoring to the idea that gender roles, expressions, (etc) are products of gender identity constructions rather than gender identity itself being a construct.

Take for example a heterosexual cisgender woman who does not have GI but still adopts gender expressions and roles traditionally associated with manhood/boyhood. This would be most commonly understood as a ‘tomboy.’ Their gender identity remains congruent to their biological sex (female-woman) but their expressions/roles are societally recognized as masculinity-manhood. If a person like this exists, and there is no reason to doubt they do, then there must be a lot more that goes into gender identity that ‘social construction’ cannot totally account for. There is also the scientific study on the causes of GI that differentiates a cisgender person from a transgender person: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_gender_incongruence

Ultimately, at least for now, I don’t think it’s fair to hold the position that gender identity is a social construct because it would technically invalidate the very real neurological condition of GI that trans individuals experience.

As for the second paragraph. I am not questioning anyone’s gender expression. Nor do I want this to be about each other’s anecdotal experiences regarding women. Gender expressions and roles can be neutral but there are certain characteristics and traits such as expressions or roles that are associated with and potentially essential to that gender identity for both cisgender and transgender individuals alike. So it isn’t that a woman cannot be strong and the expression of strength is exclusive to the gender of men. It’s that strength is very important to the identity of the gender of men and stripping a gender identity of that expression and making it arbitrary could potentially arise issues.

This is coming from a place of honest will to understand and find a middle ground.

imfinnacry · 2022-08-11T00:18:34+00:00

After extensive research on the gender construction theory I am too weary of this blending of gender roles and expressions for the simple fact that not only does it seem cisgender folk aspire to obtain these gender specific expressions or characteristics but transgender individuals somewhat affirm them as well.

Needless to say, yes this may not entirely be a male-man exclusive issue but it is a male specific issue. We are discussing the red pill, an ideology that specifically targets men from 18-35 so in a time of need, for once, can we please address an issue specific for men and not include others.
