Bipolar, bpd, autism, schizophrenia are all really correlared with being trans

As a bpdtroon i wanna know why all of these “illnesses” are so closely connected to being trans

I've known a few dozen, 1/3 of them absolute monsters who will destroy everyone's life around them, most of the rest are kind of just tragic figures often with the worst brainworms and a lucky few who seem to genuinely be in remission after transitioning that I couldn't guess were bpd before they said it.

I've only ever dated one other mtf (my current gf of 2.5 years) and she's the most normal person ive ever dated

I have however dated a cis girl that was bpd and showing signs of schizophrenia (her dad has it), best worst 2 years of my life. Think it aged me by about 7 years

As for the correlation? Ig I dont know enough trans folks to say one way or the other. So far everyone I've met has been pretty chill, aside from one weirdo who i doubt was mentally ill, just a fucking creepy freak

Without understanding the etiology of any of the symptoms its all just speculation. Personally I reckon most of these disorders have multiple causes across the population, e.g. some people are genetically bpd and others and were raised that way

I think it's part of a broader pattern in medicine
If you have been diagnosed with one illness, your chance of having another one increases substantially compared to the general population
considering we don't know for sure what causes gender dysphoria or any of these mental illnesses it's really hard to say

I subscribe to the idea that they're all related to a group of genetic mutations that affect hormones/signaling in the body that we are yet to fully piece together
autistic people are broadly more androgynous than the standard population, see https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4404287/ so some problem related to sex hormones is probably at play in autistic individuals
and beyond that, who knows? having your brain's early neurological development fucked up in one way increases the odds of it being fucked up in others, I guess

I'm a bpdtroon and I assume it does. My entire identity was formed by wanting to become the cool mall goth girls that were nice to me when I was like 12.
