The false belief that you are trans is literally just an errant neural pathway (axon) that has been continually reinforced through myelin sheathing. Your true identity as a cis person still exists in you, but reckoning them with the strongly reinforced neural pathways around your trans identity cause so much discomfort and cognitive dissonance that it is shutdown and ignored. Saying shit like “testosterone is poison” or “I could never imagine myself as a man” are just coping mechanisms to repress the discomfort of living a false life.
>>44032821so you're saying if i lobotomize myself I'll be free.
>>44032834No, it’s certainly possible to break through these beliefs, just extremely difficult
Works the other way around though so doesn’t prove anything
>>44032850How do? Gender dysphoria is a strictly acquired condition.
literally completely true, people get psyoped one way or another into wondering if they might be trans, and constantly thinking about it and spending time around troons just reinforces it and makes it real
>>44032854ive been trying to tell people this all day
>>44032872finally someone with some sense. this is exactly what happened to me but I broke through the chains.
My male ego is the thing that feels like a neurological construct. From day one I was very feminine until repressing for over a decade starting at 16. Every day I feel like I’m fighting the psychic and emotional damage it caused.If you’re right, iboga therapy should cure GD. It basically resets most acquired addictive neutral pathways.
I blame my mom for pushing gender misandrist bullshit inside my head from a young age. And being a horrible example of a woman, making me feel unattracted to the vast majority of women. AND for making me a submissive masochistic bitch. Fuck you mom!
>>44032907Some people are farther gone than others
>>44032883same. you should get off here tho just in case exposure and repetition brings the troon stuff back
>>44032973kekCan I add your discord? I love to hear other people’s stories
>>44032821you’re right and i’m gonna keep reminding myself of this every time i have tranny thoughts
>>44033016Nah, the better way is to build up your identity as a man. Define your values and principles, then find a purpose in life and leave your mark on the world through work or creativity.
>>44033006are you OP?>>44033040tsmt having a broader goal in life besides "uhh idk troon out" helped make the latter seem silly and tangential
>>44033091Yep still nursing my thread at this ungodly hour
hi chuddy! here is a relevant hazbin hotel image for your post.
>>44033040no i’m doomed iwnbam and that’s a good thing, i need to get over this
>>44033108idk about giving out my 'cord, but if you want to know anything you can just ask. i posted a whole thread to try and detroon some people and that includes some personal details too ig
>>44033040These things are not mutually exclusive with being trans tho lmfao. Trans is just a side quest to me. One of many.
>>44032930internalized misandry is probably (subconsciously or not) like the root reason for at least 30% of troonouts
>>44033167At that point tho why are you still trans? Do you still get dysphoria? >>44033160I gotta get some rest but which thread?
>>44033216Yes, I thought that was obvious. But I guess it doesn't make sense to you that a fag can have a more than 1 track mind
>>44033216the it's okay to be a man one
>>44032821my only identity is as a man and it feels extremely false and discomfortable
>>44033379skill issue. understand yourself and you can master yourself
>>44033422I understand myself well enough to know that it is what it is
>>44033431i thought i understood myself too until i realized dysphoria and many other things were not essential to me. it's only once you've worn many masks that you can feel out the face underneath
>>44033443I have worn many masks, there's not much left underneath
>>44032821Weird because once I realized I had dysphoria and that's what the word for it was called, I did come to recognize it'd been with me my entire life.I felt a lot more comfortable when I transitioned, especially when I started HRT. Semi-recently for a combination of reasons I was off it for the longest time since I started (about 2ish months, wasn't detransitioning though) and I felt terrible and neurotic near the end of that period and pretty instantly better once I started HRT again.
>>44033471i felt the same as you and wondered if there even was a "true self" but after getting off of tranny spaces and just living "normally" i eventually found it. after like 6 months i just randomly saw myself from a new angle and realized things i hadn't before
>>44033485I'm pretty confident that there is a true self, mine has just been worn down into a husk of what it was. I remember what it was, so it really is a shame. I've lived my entire irl life "normally" (only in regards to trans stuff, I am an alcoholic schizoid who does crazy shit to distract myself) and getting off anonymous online tranny spaces just makes me feel worse because I don't have a place to vent about this.
>>44032821>blagh science neuroplasticity myelin discombobulated pathwayscheck your digit ratio, OP.
