Correct.
This brought to mind something I saw on Xitter.
Yeah, I had something similar with my brother. He visited early last year and somehow one of his boxers got left in the laundry basket. I washed it and put it in the little storage space under my bed where I keep spare bedding. That boxer stayed there for like 6 months until bro visited again and I promptly gave it back to him. And we're siblings, we wore each other's clothes many times as we grew up, but never underwear. It just wouldn't cross our minds. It's like there's this unspoken, but universally understood paragraph in the bro code, that under no circumstance do you ever wear an other man's underwear.

The comic person was smart enough to elloquently describe what they are feeling but still retarded enough to fall for the dumbest possible explanation.
I think most people can relate to this at some point or another in their lives, but ironically the solution to this feeling is to stop navel-gazing so goddamn much and actually live your life. Something gender-havers always, always fail to do.
Trans ideology thrives by being slippery. If you draw hard lines in the sand, it just makes it easier to pick apart any argument you have. "Reintroducing science" would be the problem.
I am going to sound like a nut saying this but this is genuinely horrifying. We're watching a generation of mentally ill people who have complex enough thoughts that they can identify how they feel into a comic fall into the arms of men and women who want to sexually abuse them or who want to be kept firmly in their delusions instead of finding these people the comfort and logic they need. This is such an abstract first/second world problem that would have had these people fall into a religious cult or drugs back in the day, now they analyze their own feelings and realize their disconnect from themselves that was likely created as a coping mechanism while young or embedded into them via abnormal brain is only going to be fixed once they go through the transtrender journey... and come out the other side feeling still disconnected to their body and horribly alone. Because they never realized they need to treat themselves as people and fight against their own thoughts of self loathing and self damage. And it's tragic, like trying to talk somone down from a cliff they're trying to jump off of, but someone else talks said person into building wings for their cliff jump. Sure, they feel happier spending a long time caring and making their wings with other people in their new community, but they will try to jump again. And when they do, they'll flap and maybe cushion their fall, but will land even further down than where they started, looking up, maybe thinking how they're now in even more pain than before and might need to just kill themselves properly instead.
I think you're entirely right. It's hard to get out of, but not impossible too. I'm guessing I'm not the only Kiwi who ever felt this way (emotionally, not troon wise) and have had a long journey fighting against it, convincing yourself you're worth something and you should participate in the world and recognize yourself as you. It's painful to watch people who were in your situation fuck up harder.
I know this is irrelevant but the friend in my story recently bought a house with his missus and when he moves in, I intend to present those boxers to him, still freshly laundered and unworn (by me), as a housewarming gift along with a bottle of whiskey.
Damn I didn't know the haus guy was trans, I liked their absurdist dick humour lol. But also that sounds less like gender dysphoria and more like dissociation or depersonalization, which does suck and I can relate to the idea of just wanting to believe that there's a single thing you can do that will stop that feeling but the thing is that transitioning is almost certainly not the answer
That’s what gets me. I’ll spare any attempt to add another effortpost to the ring and instead say that comic could so easily be responded to with a zoom-out of everyone else having similar (if not identical) thoughts because everybody fucking does this in some capacity. It’s “Christ alive, I’m alive!” 101, and this guy’s a retard for being able to condense it down just to conclude that the troonout route will do anything but make it worse.
If one takes the idea of a trans brain existing then they would have to explain what it means to have a brain similar to a "cis womans".For example, studies show that most TIMs dont get bottom surgery, and they really argue that "Genitals dont define womanhood".So from TIMs own administration, biological sex has nothing to do with having an "inner feeling" to being man or a woman in their brains.If biological sex has nothing to do with being a "woman" then what does?See the problem for TIPS is that their arguments for being a "woman" is all based on sexiest stereotypes.(aka subjective views)If TIMs think makeup and dresses makes one a woman then they're alienating women(even their own fellow TIMs) who dont wear makeup and dresses.As such, some TIMs admit that doesn't make one a woman.So how can their brains be similar to cis womens if the idea of womanhood in itself (or at least if one believes in trans brains) is subjective?
Exactly! I remember once finding myself crying at work. For no goddamn reason, everything was going okay enough.Absolutely nothing had gone wrong, nor was I injured. So I was getting pissed off at myself because I knew the only reason I was crying was because my hormones were fucking with me before the monthlies, but I couldn't stop crying anyway. Fortunately I was in the engineering space on a Naval carrier and could scream without anybody else noticing between the general sound level and the required hearing protection.
This is why I love working from home.
NIGGA WHAT? HOW IS THAT A COMIC ABOUT GENDER DYSPHORIA? The only way I can see this comic being about GD is if you think transition is the solution to feeling this way. (Spoiler alert, it's not)
