Is it that hard to believe that
A. gender dysphoria is a mental health disorder that is on the rise and can be induced like anxiety/depression, often alongside them
B. some people are predisposed
C. there are chemicals / behaviors on the rise that can induce gender dysphoria
@profjmb@autoGAMPegg@selfawareAGP@TeelaWild I'm not trained in this at all but see people bring up trauma as a potential explanation all the time, often in "just-so" stories. Could you please elaborate a little more on what makes it incorrect / wrong? would be very interested
@Atrazine14 @Tiresiasovid I probably stole the reference from the above account! Tiresias was also mentioned in douglas murrays madness of crowds book which covered a lot of social justice topics from interesting (if inflammatory) angles.
@PunkDaisyI6 @Tiresiasovid @ArtemesiaJade That's really tough behavior to endure, sorry to hear that. I just think no one should make those kinds of comments
@Tiresiasovid I CD for fun and have managed to find a girl who enjoys it. I think younger folks are genuinely more open-minded and fun about gender roles and messing around. Healthy relationships are entirely feasible! Tbh i have way more struggles around my cd'ing than she does
@PunkDaisyI6 @Tiresiasovid @ArtemesiaJade knows I'm not demanding it or thinking I get to make that decision for her. I could see AGP guys fixating on particular looks or styles more, and that fixation making them a little more needy / wanting of those things. But they should still be able to handle boundaries!
@PunkDaisyI6 @Tiresiasovid @ArtemesiaJade It sounds like same normal boundary issues as most relationships, at some point one person will request some visual change and that can be upsetting or entitled or whatever. I've asked my gf to grow her hair out which she's been happy to do for me, but I always make sure she...
@Display_Geek true, and they like him for fame, fortune, and looks and not necessarily because of the dresses first. Fortunately i do have a gf who is into it, but i don't think it's common and everyone's tolerance is different (eg once a month vs nightly crossdressing)
@SashaLPC My point is just that for people genuinely "exploring their gender", telling them to do it in public or else it's just narrow / solipsistic is not fair IMO. Crossdressing is not accepted in public in the same way a yoga class is. So people ruminate in private or dress in private
