In all honesty, though...

Individuals with borderline personality disorder very frequently exhibit other mental disorders. Depression, substance abuse, and gender dysphoria are among the common comorbidities.

So you take a person who is already predisposed to extreme narcissism and self-destructive behavior, and you introduce them to gender ideology as a form of escapism from their own dysfunctional self, and it's no surprise at all when that person winds up homeless and living in their car, complaining that they can't afford an apartment, when their reaction to being offered work is to complain that the employer didn't call them by their pretend name and that employers only want people to work form them when they need the help. (Which.... is how work works.) But they literally cannot understand these things, because there's a whole community of similarly damaged people cheering them on and positively reinforcing that behavior with e-asspats.


This is my layman's opinion, of course. I'll play the expert card if we're talking about TV production, but I'm not even a doe-eyed novice when it comes to psychology.

^^ My daughter works in mental health services for a Kaiser Hospitals and they're noticing an enormously common factor for these kids is actually autism. High functioning end of the spectrum, but unmistakable rigidity in thinking patterns. Their in-house experts were saying that something like 20% of trans kids today are autistic.

This makes perfect sense.

And, I would not be in the least surprised if a completely new diagnosis were to be created within the near future, which carefully avoids / sidesteps the normalization of the gender-identity disorders which have found their way into mainstream academia.

Still thinking about this...

Here's another recent example which I came across:

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...37252cbc5e.png

This one isn't a "kid," per se. She's 39, but definitely has the emotional maturity of a child.

Her thinking is that, because she has had a hysterectomy (I do not know why, she des not appear to have had any other "gender-confirming" surgery, and still has tits), her biological sex is no longer important in a medical setting.

Never mind that women metabolize certain substances differently than men, are at a higher risk for both autoimmune and neurological disorders, and are more likely than men to suffer spontaneous cardiac arrest.

No, it is more important to her that doctors call her by whatever nonbinary pronoun she 's come up with than that they have the correct information on which to base decisions regarding her healthcare.


Is that the sort of rigidity of thought to which you refer?

^^ In a word, YES. Once an idea is lodged in their mind, it can be nearly impossible to reason/convince/persuade/educate/cajole them out of it. Much like with an overly tired toddler who's undeveloped brain has a glitch and suddenly gets stuck on things proceeding ONLY the way they want. The toddler has a legitimate excuse, but a mature adult, not so much . . . unless they too have a "glitch", albeit of the neurodivergent kind.

“With the multiple specialists and doctors I’m now having to see…”
Maybe she would prefer being referred to as “the late Ms Wolff.”

I recall hearing that autistic children benefitted significantly from having benevolent strains of gut bacteria being added to their intestinal tract. Something like a 60% difference in scores on a test of autistic traits. Can't recall the source but was intrigued by the info.

A German company recently discovered how to recolonize (no pun intended) beneficial gut bacteria orally with a greater rate of success. Standard probiotic capsules yield a 5-7% survivability rate for bacteria. The Germans came up with reanimating the bacteria prior to consumption and adding some prebiotic fiber to the solution (food for bacteria). The survivability rate is 94% for most strains. Previous methods for delivering viable bacteria were by a process called fecal transplant. That is exactly what you think it is. Feces inserted rectally into the patient from a healthy donor.

The German company, Omni-Biotic (https://www.omnibioticlife.com/), just started distribution in the U.S. if anyone is interested. One of the three formulas I tried made a difference I could feel in my mind and in my mental clarity within 15 to 30 minutes, which was interesting. I must have been missing one or more of the beneficial strains and was unaware of it. One of their formulations is specifically for replenishing the 10 most commonly killed off strains due to antibiotic usage.

Recent increases in overuse of cesarean sections for childbirth, overuse of antibiotics, the overuse of antibacterial soaps and cleansers, and the prevalence of preservatives in the standard American diet has caused a deficiency in beneficial strains of bacteria in many Americans. Children naturally ingest beneficial bacteria from their mothers when passing through the birth canal. This does not happen if they are born through cesarean section.

I'm neither a doctor nor a microbiologist, merely a curious person.

And I acknowledge it's a bit weird that we're having this discussion in the GenWu thread.

So assuming all this to be true, why deliver the treatment orally at all? Why not make it in the form of a suppository?

Marketability, I assume.

Stress Management Psychobiotic?

Strangely enough, if your gut bacteria are out of balance it can really affect the mind. There are more cells of gut bacteria in you than there are cells of you in you. I have heard that they can signal the brain directly through the vagus nerve as well as through other methods. Something to do with chemical electric signaling and distributed intelligence like a computer network. Quantum biology and such.

You are what you eat!

It's true, the gut is literally like our second brain ("gut instinct.")

Personally, I'd rather take it orally but hey, to each their own :cool:

@sixshooter thanks for the link, very interesting, I've been following this sort of thing for a number of years now. If the survivability stats they quote are real or at least real close, that's a big step in the right direction. A few years back people were looking closely at how to get the good bugs to survive the ride to the large intestine, the solution at the time was resistant starch.

Once you've been able to repopulate the good bacteria, do you just continue taking the product for maintenance or will they continue to propagate on their own so long as you don't expose yourself to antibiotics again (is it a one-time deal or do you have to continue spending money lol?)

As I understand it, once a colony is established then unless something catastrophic occurs they will be just fine on their own if fed properly. Of course antibiotics, and preservatives can harm them. The same preservatives that kill bacteria in products on the shelf also kill bacteria in your gut when you consume them. That's one of many reasons why fresh food is better for you. If it comes from a box or a can or a jar it's going to have preservatives a lot of the time.

Oh, the humanity!

slow clap.

*^^ I just wish he'd tell us how he really felt about it.

The phrase "Ok, boomer" comes to mind when watching that.

I mean, I'm all for disliking people who insist on trying to force others to participate in their gender-fantasy-time, but there's really not much practical difference between that sort of whiney rant and, you know...
