  • And which country does not have people who try to not be cancerous and yet are still been given cancer by those in power,? What exactly does that have to do with the USA (not “America”)? Not that I’m a fan of this joke of a country, sure am not.



  • It’s not the country per se. It’s not even capitalism per se.

    It’s people. And especially that all systems reward, nay love, the dark triad of psychological disorders. The rich elite, that plays with people and countries, is a living proof of that.

    But, the USA is the prime example of how the endgame of human cancer will be like. And its chefclown is the prime example for said triad.


  • I totally admit that we’re too lazy to cook for ourselves. We have all the time in the world but still prefer to spend that time on more fun things than standing around in a kitchen, wasting an hour to cook what we then eat in 10mins. And would also have to clean it up if it weren’t for our maid.

    But delivery or eating out is not just too expensive but also grows more shitty AND expensive AND less every month.


  • Sure there are extreme examples. The “blue alien” also comes to mind or the Catwoman. It also might lead to peace of mind. In rare cases though. Like I said in another comment: if you feel your leg is alien and needs to be gone, chopping it off can simply solve the problem. But, considering there might be a pill available tomorrow to “cure” all possible body image distorsions, your leg would still be gone 🫤


  • I said in tendency. And gender-affirming surgeries is no exception to any surgery based on body-disphoria. Even worse actually, as the suicide-rate post-OP is like 20x higher than without.

    If everything went perfectly, There’s a chance one might find some relief. But I think there’s a gigantic difference between a lip-injection leading to the “Fuller” lips you always dreamt of, and above surgery leading to the genitalia you always dreamt of. It might remotely look like it, it might even feel a bit like it, but it sadly would never be like it. Plus There’s no way back. A boob-job can be fixed, a lip-job can be altered. A cut off wiener can’t be made whole again. dunno if f2m is somehow reversible though. But that’s not the point anyway.

    And before you scream “transphobic!” At me: I am not, i couldn’t care less what someone identifies as or what they have in their pants or with what they prefer to have intercourse.

    Disphoria is no fun, in no form. But changing the body to meet the internal image of it rarely ends perfectly well. Or even well. If you can’t stand (no pun intended) your leg and chop it off, chances are good. As it’s gone and you need no alternative. But having an open axewound instead of a wiener or a sewed-on phallus-like skin-something instead of a working genitalia is hard (again no pun intended) to induce the same kind of relief. Maybe the hated schlong is gone, but you will be reminded of that thing forever anyway with the daily needed care.

    Long story short: I would not bet my working genitalia on finding relief. And I’m empathic enough to imagine having disphoria. I might hate this schlong with all my heart, but it works. And chance of having an equally well working vajayay are converging zero. Just pure pragmatism, I don’t have a political or religious agenda.

    I’d argue that possible relief is reciprocal to the complexity of the change wanted.


  • People with such a disphoria most likely won’t be happy after such a dangerous injection of a neurotoxin. Probably even the opposite and leading to more and more “corrections”. yet the actual self will never align with the self one imagines one has to be. A downward spiral OR maybe, if lucky, a botched experiment never to be repeated.

    So, all I, personally, can see in those people is the sadness or even true despair. Surely not beauty. Not in the slightest. At best I see beauty in their public display of insecurity or weakness.

    And besides that: people form prejudgment all the time about everything, and it’s a great evolutionarily trait that gave us an edge up to this day. Being able to deduct something based on the thinnest of evidence. And further strengthening or weakening this judgment by gathering additional evidence over time. This is NOT an inherently bad thing by itself. It becomes a bad thing if people stick to their initial prejudgment and could never be taught better. May it be out of ignorance, apathy or sheer stupidity. Then prejudice is the actual bad thing that this word always seem to connotate.
