Maybe that’s why they think the world’s out to get them, because if we followed their logic we should be.

Has he tried with a man though?

I can bite you and give you estrogen venom if that helps

That’s great until someone says “I’m not being a dick, I’m just telling the truth” while being a dick. This is especially easy to pull off against minorities, because the aforementioned “truth” can be based on stereotypes or inaccurate media portrayals.

“systems” is just the term for a group on one body.

And by “in my opinion” I think you mean “if I had it”? An opinion can still be harmful as outspoken bigots prove.

Simple answer: when it’s not an issue. If you function fine and don’t think it’s a big deal, then why try to change anything?

Personally, I can say I’ve been functioning better by discarding the idea that I should be one consistent self, because that idea caused the stress of choosing who my one self is.

That seems quite harsh. You’re basically telling systems that they’re either faking it or it’s a problem, but why are you the arbiter of that? It feels similar to transphobes or homophobes saying being trans/gay is either fake or something you should “fix”. You’re getting very close to using the medical system to enforce social standards on people who don’t conform to them under the guise of “disorder” where the patient is actually fine.

condition ≠ disorder

Just because someone’s brain is weird in this certain way doesn’t mean they’re disordered. Disorder implies there’s something wrong that should be fixed, but many people with conditions will disagree that there is anything in need of “fixing”.

Eh, DID is too narrow a scope. Being multiple people isn’t automatically a disorder.

Food court chicken bake

I asked my parents what names they were thinking of before the genital reveal and just picked one. I think the limited choices helped me actually commit to one.

TIL all systems are schizophrenic /s

I don’t want to be hit by someone who decided they were okay becoming a projectile

Let’s reframe that. Instead of thinking “I don’t have much dysphoria so maybe I’m not trans” you should ask yourself “what do I think I can do to have the most enjoyable life possible?”.

You’re allowed to change your mind, you’re allowed to make suboptimal decisions, and most decisions are reversible so for those you don’t really have to consider long-term consequences. If you want to identify some way, even just to test it out, go for it! You can change that later if it doesn’t fit, and there’s not much harm to it. Even if you’re mistaken, it usually just means you ended up experiencing more awkward time than necessary, not much of a consequence.

The hardest part is probably gonna be getting over the fear of being wrong, of feeling like you lied to people. You didn’t, there’s nothing wrong with being mistaken. But I know the brain gets anxious over it 🫂. I hope you have a wonderful life wherever it takes you.

He didn’t disclose his credit card number despite not being asked for it, that’s sexual assault.

Androgyny 🤤

Make out? 🥺

That’d be some great rules lawyering if they cared about rules. They make rules to hurt us because we have to follow them, but they can just make up whatever they want and decide when they follow the rules or not. If you did that, they’d say it’s not a real religion, or say the 1st Amendment doesn’t apply to what you’re doing, or even just refuse to give the money.
