i want to scream and shout and hit myself FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

it's all really tiring and i feel like i'm going insane by the day

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

i now have taken up the habit of closing my eyes to avoid looking at the mirror and other such reflections

@lzlygr I would imagine he would identify as a woman for the same reason pre-HRT MtFs identify as women. Though that might be asking a lot for someone in the 1300s. Either way, you can't be a real woman today either.

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@lzlygr @Peripherallia_ Not necessarily. I would much rather be born female or be transformed into a woman but I'm not a woman internally and it would be weird to suggest that of me because my soul is nothing like that of a woman. If I were I would have known back when I was a child.

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@lzlygr @Peripherallia_ But only by both ocurring comorbidly is it gender dysphoria. Kalonymus ben Kalonymus only talks about wanting to be a woman. You can feel bad about not being the opposite gender and not be dysphoric.

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@lzlygr @Peripherallia_ Believing you are the opposite gender.

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@lzlygr @Peripherallia_ Wanting to be a girl and feeling bad about not being a girl isn't gender dysphoria.

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@lzlygr @JustTheWehrst Accounts of Elagabalus preferring feminine pronouns or wanting a vagina are not proof of anything because they basically amount to fag homo namecalling. Hijra, gala, and enarei are religious third genders and aren't clinically transgender.

[weird medieval guys @WeirdMedieval]

when historical records say that a ruler was “weak and effeminate” and crossdressed, it usually meant that people fucking hated that guy, not that he was gay or trans…

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@Peripherallia_ Left-handedness is attested throughout history, with figures such as da Vinci and Charlemagne being left-handed. Gender dysphoria, on the other hand, basically appears out of nowhere.

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@lzlygr If trans people are so happy why do come on here to seek validation for their choices? I don't know, man.

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@fluffyr0adk1ll The only reason why dysphoria exists is because of thinking turning into the opposite gender is possible. You'll only be an imitation of the opposite gender. If we all accepted our birth gender we would be more fulfilled for it. Injecting hormones won't make you happier.

@sphenoidcell @ceceisheretoo Going outside is going to help you rep better than staying inside your room all day. The internet is what causes young (especially autistic) men to develop feelings of gender inadequacy.

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@AlCesaie Does he commonly end his poems with the morning prayer? It would make sense, considering the setting. If rare, I think referencing it specifically here in this poem does have some weight. The only other translated poem of his I could find does not, and I can't read Hebrew.

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@JustTheWehrst You can still find gay people throughout history despite their repression and erasure from history. Not so much transgender people.

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@TransAndMerican I like this poem because it has a far more reasonable conclusion than attempting to become the opposite gender, which is impossible. It's also satirical, by the way.

"What shall I say?
why cry or be bitter?
[...]
blessed are you Hashem who has not made me a woman."

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@TransAndMerican 1) Most trans people don't even try to repress. I don't see many examples of 50+-year-olds failing to repress and I would wager most who reach that age will die normal. But I could read the paper, sure.
2) That's a good point. I didn't know that.

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@TransAndMerican Almost as if most people can control and not give into their fetishes.

[ribarsu @metsfandoremi]

@TransAndMerican You still can't explain why this "medical condition" only became as big of an issue as it is currently in the 20th century, and why the only example (repeated over and over) of a repressor not being able to repress is John 50.
