Hey that’s not necessarily true. Anxiety, OCD, and other things exist that can cause you to overthink.

Anonymous 1w

Not at all true. Things are changing so fast in the world sometimes things that were perfectly fine before are no longer fine or things that were offensive before have been reclaimed. Everybody is constantly learning and changing.

That just really isn’t true and I wish this logic wasn’t so prevalent in queer spaces. I spent years of my adolescence uncomfortable and falsely identifying as trans and permanently injuring myself binding because everyone in my life, especially queer people who I thought would know best, was constantly telling me that the fact that I had asked myself whether I could be trans meant that I definitely was.

a. the original post is gone b. i think if they’re asking if something comes across as transphobic they want to make sure they avoid it as an ally. if someone was transphobic they wouldn’t care to navigate it or even ask they would just be a transphobe and move on. it looks like they were new to the community or something ?

says the one who sees a statement that applies to a majority and said "oh but what about with this!" theres exceptions to everything it's up to the grown adults reading it to use their brain and realize "ok maybe this doesnt apply to me". not everything does, and the obsession with making sure EVERYBODY is mentioned is out of hand. "this applies unless you have this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this...." it's ridiculous.

Also, asking if something is transphobic doesn’t mean that it always is, and wouldn’t you rather someone ask and genuinely open themselves up to feedback and criticism for the purpose of learning, even and especially if what they’re asking about really is transphobic?

the person theyre quoting had said "if im bi and ok with being with cis men and women, but not trans ppl, am i transphobic?" with more elaboration in their comments. theres tons more to this conversation than what ur seeing

OP said "the answer is most likely yes" not "the answer is always yes"

i feel like y'all aren't actually reading closely. op said it's *most likely* the case if you're questioning it, not that it's always 100% the case. i find that once people start asking themselves if they're being bigoted it's usually a yes because they've already realized the answer is yes and they just don't have the vocab/language to describe how so they ask somebody who has more knowledge

This isn’t a debate, they’re just adding more information to the discussion. I agree with op AND I’m grateful 1 added their perspective to the conversation because it helped me understand different situations where the logic doesn’t apply. Not everything is an argument

i think that person meant “is it taken as transphobic” they obviously weren’t a transphobic person maybe just unaware of how their intentions come across

Can someone explain the bean soup thing

No they are bi but say they can't be with trans people because it makes them uncomfortable and basically begged for validation that they don't have internalized transphobia, when they literally admitted that they do.

Hey I actually struggle with both of those conditions. How exactly does this negate common human behavioral patterns?

Obviously my wording wasn't detailed enough to convey my actual position on internal things other than prejudice so maybe don't put words in my mouth. Thanks.

I also have both and the way it negates common human behavioral patterns is obvious. OCD can override your brains ability to evaluate thoughts, and filter out negative or false information/thoughts, and regulate fear. This is where we get our compulsive thoughts that we can’t control from hence how you can have a compulsive thought or fear even if you know 100% it’s not true

That's a part of the human mind dude. It just varies from person to person and if it surpasses a certain threshold it's classified as OCD but that doesn't make the underlying concept unique. We are all overrun by fear due to societal changes that the Information Age brought along.

I promise you free will does actually work. It's hard work but you can literally will anything in your mind away if you approach it the right way.

Hey so no. I think I’ll take my therapists advice over yours considering OCD is a compulsive disorder and some people literally can’t handle it to the point they kill themselves. This is the equivalent of telling someone with depression to just be happy

As someone who struggled with chronic depression, and tried countless SSRIs the cure was in fact choosing not to be a victim anymore. It's rough to hear that but it's the hard truth.

Sorry you had a shitty therapist but mines great and is doing REMT with me so I’m about a year I won’t be seeing her anymore. That’s the whole point of this type of therapy is to get out of it….

My mentor is an award winning cellular and molecular biology PhD and neuroscience/consciousness researcher, I promise you everything I'm saying has scientific basis behind it. It's just uncomfortable for most people because it comes from a lens other than materialism/classical science. It requires an understanding of quantumness to truly grasp. I'm willing to expand but only if you keep an open mind.
