Yesterday I was speaking to a client who is an older and very experienced clinical psychiatrist in California. Somehow we got on the subject of transpronounism and I asked his thoughts from a medical perspective. I’m going to try to share his incredibly interesting explanation in plain terms.
First, transgenderism is a form of body dysmorphia, a recognized mental disorder in the big book of mental ailments. It is also, more interestingly, a form of schizophrenia.
Here is how he explained its current proliferation and why it is primarily seen in men:
Men are sexually aroused by visual cues, while women typically are not. A man gets physically sexually aroused by seeing a woman that he finds attractive. A woman recognizes physical attraction but physical arousal generally requires social interaction.
When a man with body dysmorphia puts on a woman’s clothing or make-up and observes himself he gets aroused. At that moment (his exact words), “a minor second personality is born.” This is called multiple personality disorder, or dissociative personality disorder. The man sees the pantomime woman separate from himself and is attracted to the image.
But here is where it gets relevant to the here and now.
Typically this second self stays a very minor influence either because it is treated as a mental disorder or because societal negative feedback causes feelings of shame and recalcitrance. In other words, humans have traditionally informed men that this is odd behavior and men have decided they are right or at least to keep the second self private.
But today, that same behavior inside the unicorn zone creates positive reinforcement for the second self. We have begun supporting and encouraging the second self to manifest and gain influence. We do not just do this locally, where there is possible negative feedback for balance. A man puts on a dress and makeup, goes on social media and thousands of people cheer his courage. He goes to school and the students pat him on the back instead of stuffing his head in a toilet.
By rewarding the second self society encourages the female persona to gain influence, such that it can overpower the original self. The female persona becomes the primary personality and desperately seeks to erase the male original.
But feelings of guilt and shame remain very powerful. The mind’s remedy is to spread the disorder to create a more comfortable inner thought process. We know this as the cliché, “misery loves company.” Trans people need to see more trans people to keep their illusion of normalcy intact.
His professional opinion is that, as a society, we have started an unstoppable wave of nurtured schizophrenia. A very high percentage of transpronoun men will eventually commit suicide because of their immense internal struggle and because they have been taught that seeking mental help is an admission that they are suffering with a disorder. The popular woke notion that the disorder is, in fact, a positive affirmation of self actually keeps the person from looking at it as an issue.
From a global perspective, most countries still treat this as a mental disorder. When we say the rest of the world thinks we have gone crazy, it is not pure hyperbole. A large portion of Western society is literally suffering from mass scale psychosis in very clinical terms.
As I have explained, this is an account of someone I spoke to who has expertise on the matter. This is his explanation. If accurate, which it seems to be, we are facing a truly lost generation.
Good stuff... this very topic deserves a thread if it's own, perhaps as important as any if we're to answer the ultimate questions- such as who are we, who/how were we created, and does this journey continue beyond the flesh?
This has been my focus for the past year or so, digging into the origins and the scholarship surrounding these topics. Digging into the origins of the scholarship as well, because that can be just as telling.
This has proven to be a very interesting investigation. I certainly can't give a definitive answer, but I can point to a fair bit of scholarship (scientific inquiry) that suggests in some cases that the mind is not tied to the body, and in other cases that there is much more to "the physical universe" than the "scientific consensus." Our very ideas of what it means to be physical have no evidential support in science, yet we cling to them and preach physicalism with an "Enlightenment" (16th century) view of what that means.
Since I was a teenager, when I began to question my Christian upbringing, I have considered myself "agnostic," which is to say "I don't know the answer." After I began to question, I studied science, and worked in science or related fields (engineering). I retained that "I don't know" attitude, but I looked for answers everywhere and found none. I assumed that because there was no scholarship on the topic outside of philosophy (no scientific inquiry) that there was simply nothing there to look for. I was "on the fence," but definitely leaning towards the side of "this is all there is." I remained in that leaning position for most of my adult life. I have more recently changed my lean because of what I have found.
After my more resent investigation (now that I know better how to look for evidence), I am still in the "I don't know" camp, in that I certainly can't answer any of these questions to anyone's satisfaction, even my own (especially my own), but I can give some much more interesting answers now than I could a couple years ago.
My research suggests that we do not look to answer any of these questions using science, especially the last question. The first couple we ask (who are we, who/how were we created), but all of our inquiries are strictly confined to a box that was created by Rockefeller's school system and it's conditional funding. It isn't that "too few people think outside the box," it's that you can't think outside the box, because you can't get funding, or published, or even have a career at all if you look.
Despite this, quite a few have looked over the years. British Intelligence looked in the early 20th century. The Nazis looked afterwards (with connections between those organizations and this particular topic of inquiry), the C_A looked after the Nazis (some of the same exact people were involved, because the C_A was (are) the Nazis). But there are also quite a few academic investigations as well, they just aren't all that easy to find. Now that I've actually read some of those reports, it is obvious that they followed the scientific process perfectly fine. More interestingly perhaps, is that all of these sources, and many of their reports of scientific inquiry produced some very interesting positive results (Eureka!).
That doesn't make their results true, that's not what science does, but it does show that it is a topic worth further exploration. Other than follow ups by the same researchers, there is no corroboration or repeat experiments. There can't be because of conditional funding, not to mention brainwashing ("everyone knows there's nothing there"), and training ("this over here is proper science, don't look over there, that's quackery"), and calling it "pseudoscience" even though these experiments followed the process of science perfectly. It is "pseudoscience" ONLY BECAUSE it found results that don't fit in with the dogma of The Science.
So while I can't answer the questions, my research suggests that Mainstream Science has no grounds to say anything about it, because Mainstream Science hasn't looked to answer the question, rather, they quite purposefully direct us away from any inquiry.
Makes you think.
I've traveled a similar path, raised Baptist, (grandmother my Sun school teacher), agnostic in my youth, and now in mid-50's questioning it all, gravitating bk mostly due to Q as with many yadda yad.
I've found the well documented history of military studies/implementations of human telepathy, many with successes which helped during the Cold War (and other cases) to be fascinating (you brought up consciousness). Many of those cases involved "seeing" halfway across the world. How? They've never said, but apparently many of us have this capability with training
Also, I recall a Russian study from around 10 yrs ago where, with the help of "new" (at the time) cameras/light filters, scientist were able to film without fail, a light source leaving the human body at time of death. Studies were done in hospices with patient/family consent. I haven't looked for sauce (at work now) but worth a peek if it hasn't been scrubbed by goog.
No idea how these tie in to our quest of afterlife/flesh but feel perhaps they might? As I've grown older I've learned to trust my "gut" instinct and somehow I just "know" this isn't "it" -- what would be the point if we just simply ceased to exist? I just know. And if I'm wrong? Not sure I'll care much at that point hehe
Thx again Sly, now go make a post on this and blow the board up, especially Biblefags ;)
I haven't seen this one. Is this the guy you mean?
If you have any other references on the "paranormal" or the "supernatural" it would be useful if you could point me in the direction of what to look for (search terms, or links to a rabbit hole, or actual scholarship, etc.). As an aside, those words (paranormal, supernatural) are very interesting words in and of themselves. Take "super" natural, which means, by definition, "outside of the set of all possible occurrences in Nature." Yet if it can happen that automatically means it is a part of Nature (not forbidden by Natural Law by definition). By stating that a thing is supernatural, that automatically means "it isn't a part of Reality," and thus studying it means "you can't find anything." These categorical errors within the rhetoric purposefully lead us away from research.
I am writing up something on this topic atm. Any and all sources along these lines would be useful. I may have found many of the same as you, but you never know. If it's too much trouble, don't worry about it. I have enough for the minimal write up I intend.
I'm not sure I will do that yet. I keep posting stuff like this as responses, feeling out the audience, trying to create a better argument to get past the cognitive dissonance. I haven't had much success with anyone who starts on the "Bible is Truth" side, though it seems to be well received by others. I am hesitant to try until I work out the bugs. Getting the target audience to look is imo, the most important goal.
No trouble, just currently at work.
My major prob w the Bible is simple: It's written by man... Prophets or not, and seems flawed tho I can't give any examples atm?
Also, humans are still dissecting the much older than bible Sumerian cuneiform tablets, apparently numbered in the hundreds thousands. Then we have China and it's hidden, forbidden secrets... still don't know how/who built the MANY pyramids ww on every continent... and then there's the Vatican Vault- said to be the MOAB of knowledge... but who's to know?
And why did EVERY nation post-WWII agree to stay OUT of resource rich (according to Navy Adm Bird) Antarctica...to this day, heavily guarded by U.S. military? Most of that continent is simply off limits to exploration- period. Why? Makes zero since in a resource consuming modern world.
I've been near consumed since my first Win95 computer of deep dives and still to this day cannot honestly say I've gained an inch... fortunately ignorance is bliss, but I HAVE to know!! Even the bible says truth will set us free, yet I'm chained... perhaps we're to look inward, not out, for the answers... yet I still wouldn't know where to start
