does anyone here have deeper thoughts about the condition of being trans and/or agp that go beyond "eww so gross" or "ill repress till i die"?
>>42026498deeper how? like what causes being trans? how should trans people deal with their dysphoria? what is gender?
>>42026535any of these. is there a purpose to it? a best way to live your life when you feel this way? but like, reasoned, not just the typical slogans people shout here
>>42026498I try to be matter of fact about it as much as possible. It's a condition, like having a deformity or an old injury. It doesn't have to define how I approach my life. It's nice when people can look past it, but it's also inherently a major part of my identity too, so it's complicated.The movie A Different Man changed my life, and I'd really recommend bitterhons (like me) to watch it and take it to heart.
>>42026498I can't really make a coherent thesis right now about the condition but I've been trying to curerep for the past 6 or so years since I was 14. Most AGPs/AAPs have something known as an AGP/AAP artifact which can be as straightforward as "me but as a woman" or more vague and hard to conceptualize in precise details; it's what people usually refer to as "her."AGP/AAP dysphoria at its root is a dissociative phenomenom, you don't identify with your body hence you try to do everything you can to escape it. If you untagle what dysphoria is, you find that "she" is something one gave psychic energy to, usually through sexual transmutation but sometimes it can be escapist fantasies or some deeper subconscious force.For me my own version of "him" is fed through the stress of having two ego-identifications that are diametrically opposed to each other in every way because one (the "core" in imprecise language) cannot withstand it's own vulnerability and the other takes a massive toll on me because it goes counter to everything I want deep down, hence "he" becomes a seemingly viable third ego when the stress becomes overwhelming.
I'm pretty sure my gender issues formed from my sheer hatred for humanity and being masculine, I say I'm a women but deep down I see myself more as a demon than anything else
>>42027005soo... some kind of identity crisis where you create a different gender ideal version of yourself and decide to become it? maybe
>>42026498I have much to say but much too tired to form it into thoughts. Hopefully this thread stays up for a bit.
>>42026498There's a lot of books about this, Whipping Girl is pretty good
>>42026498i would recommend this psychoanalysis book on being trans. basically states that you’re trans and/or gay because you’re coping with trauma but it’s not like a bad thing
>>42027375isn't this just normie right wing talking point?
>>42027375and people who were gay before or without trauma are just a joke to the authors
