      Not everyone, in fact if you’re assuming this is aimed at you, maybe investigate that.

    I appreciate the sentiment, but this really doesn’t seem like the place for this kind of motivation. People will just agree and move on. We are formed but our material reality, and that includes being trans. We do of course have the opportunity to change, but it’s hard to change years of mental programming and damage. I wouldn’t say most here are bad people, either.

      I have friends and I’m quite happy. (Though I have my bouts of unhappiness as we all do) But I can’t imagine being motivated by this. having “no personality” doesn’t come from nowhere. I don’t think people like feeling like a disassociated husk with no personality, but it’s hard to build a self when such a vital aspect of that self (the material reality) is directly at odds with the mind.

        It comes off more as talking down to others than a genuine good faith look into helping your community. It’s also counterproductive to make a post like this to a group of people who’ve said they’ve had this exact issue (feeling empty, unlovable and without a personality) that if they see this post and feel offended they have the problem you describe. It’s intentionally provocative. You know that, because the goal is to motivate. Severe mental illness and abuse harmed their journey to a more complete self like every other victims of abuse, what’s a shocker! Again, I think the sentiment comes from a good place, but would you feel comfortable saying this to any other group of mentally ill traumatized subset of people? At the very least, supplement the post with ways to help so people know you give a shit.

          Thank you, truly.

          I think I will begin working on building out this philosophy and expressing it in a more coherent constructive way.

          Because I do earnestly believe in it, but obviously yes, it’s a sharp and prickly thing that I hurled headlong into a crowd holding balloons.

          If nobody explained exfoliation to me and then started on my skin with pumice I’d probably think “Wtfx why are you rasping my skin red?!?”

      I see it as a very hopeful message; you’re not alone because your trans (a thing you have very little control over)

      You’re alone because you’re an empty person with a bad personality (a thing totally within your control).

      Y’all are misunderstanding me on purpose at this point.

        I’m sorry but… what? you’re saying our isolation and misery is our own fault and we deserve it for being bad… as motivation? I’m sorry I’m trying to understand but it seems you just want to keep people who are down in their place.

          I happen to think this little experiment has great potential, and thus I feel as if I must make some effort to counter balance the rising tide of “My pain is so unique and special and interesting” twats before they deluge it in their self absorbed drivel

                  Jesus was an amateur magician and alchemist, all of his miracles can be explained with this theory,

                  The walking on water was a pier he built out that was just below the water level at the right point of the tide.

                  The water into wine was compressed cubes of dehydrated wine tannins that he slight of handed into the water.

                  The loaves and the fishes was a false bottom basket that he built which only activated when mounted into a box of salt fish he buried at the mound.

                  Curing the blind was just dialating an elderly persons eyes letting in more light

                  The death and resurrection was the same stuff Juliet drank to fake her death, near death, people were buried all the time alive cause medical tech sucked.

    I don’t think this is true in most cases. maybe in some, but often the trauma of how being trans gets us treated also shapes us.

    I’d be unlovable either way sure, I have a personality but barely sure, but I don’t think we can separate that from not having gotten any childhood at all. thought that was the case before I was trans too, it made sure that continued I guess.

    idk, sorry for being inherently bad I’m trying so hard but idk what I’m supposed to do

      if it’s such a hopeful message please explain to me how one can fix being evil and bad and boring because they didn’t get to learn anything about socialising without their choice? I can’t go talk to people and make friends, since I’m so evil and bad and boring, I’d hurt them with that so I can’t try that without being even more of a bad person as you say. so I guess this is the “just stop having mental health issues” school of thought?

    True except I have some sort of ethereal quality that allows me to make friends, or the worst of enemies despite being a clay man with no personality of my own besides a foundation of being edgy. One friend said it was my astrology chart another said it was bpd I like to not question it.

      Makes everything worse from the outside in, sure.

      But it has nothing to do with whether you end up a shitty empty person with no personality or IRL friends.
