Freudian psychology is only relevant as a therapeutic technique, not as a way of understanding. The evidence does demonstrate its effectiveness for certain people with certain diagnoses, but like other older methods, the doctor can often project their expectations into the patient.
The sad truth is that psychology is in its infancy, with our understandings getting rewritten at a rapid rate. It's still the best tool we have, but it's important to realize just how little we know.
I'm early gen z, but when I was a kid, I couldn't even have gotten diagnosed with both autism and ADHD. We now know that most people with autism have ADHD, yet it wasn't even possible to get dual diagnosed until 2011.
This isn't because science was done incorrectly, but because it was done correctly. Any leftist ideas built on psychological frameworks will have the same challenge as the books you mentioned. Psychology just moves fast.
It might've been that you had a friendly vibe. You looked like someone who wouldn't cause a scene, so it'd be safer to mess with you. Add a healthy dose of Halloween anonymity to thrill seeking party girls, and you getting very unlucky.
I'm sorry that happened. Sexual assault is fucked up, no matter who is involved.
I remember when I started, it was honestly intoxicating. It gave such a mix of euphoria and eroticism from having a body that didn't gross me out. I genuinely liked being a lil stinky for a while. It also didn't help that I sweat less, so I can go longer before it becomes bad. That's when I made this meme:
Their bodies get "fucked up" by hormones if they do nothing. We all get "fucked up" on hormones to some extent, it's just that puberty blockers allow more opportunity to decide which way to get "fucked up." If you truly wanted to help "brainwashed trenders" not "fuck up their bodies," you'd support puberty blockers. It gives them the most time to decide with as few side effects as possible.
You think transitioning is what happens when treatment fails? You think it's some sort of unfortunate outcome? The data paints a clear picture: transition is the best outcome for us. No other treatment works, and as far as treatments for psychological phenomenon go, it's one of the best.
I wish I could say you're dying on a hill, but you're not. You're throwing screaming children into a pit and burning them alive. You'll face no consequence for your humble contribution outside of possible guilt, but nothing will undo the harm.
It's not about learning lessons. There's no grand narrative to life other than what we come up with.
From your posts, it's become clear that I can't convince you to not hate yourself. Only you can decide to self love, not anyone else. You absolutely will not get better until you recognize how loveable you are.
There wouldn't be a lesson for anyone in your death, just tragedy and pain. We'll always be here for you, but that will not matter unless you're there for yourself.
Imma be honest, I only had the image to go off of like everyone else. It had a lot of Mexican imagery and felt really LA to me, but there wasn't a source where I found it.
At first I thought the signature said BoriDog instead of Boss Dog! When I did find the artist, I feel down the rabbit hole of all their fantastic stuff. My ADHD is too blame for me not posting it sooner. Sorry :(
