Five dollars for five words.
I think I saw a transgender on a American TV show about policemen, it seemed that they treated the subject with care. One policeman seemed to be the traditional anti-trans person while another one was accepting, by the end everyone understood and accepted transgenderism. It was very heart-warming.

Non-anonymous confession: I don't understand why we need an LGBT movement in the first place (to clarify: why lgbt people must fight for tolerance instead of being accepted in the first place). Why can't people leave other people be? I don't care if somebody is gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans. If they are a good person they are a good person, if they are a an rear end in a top hat, they are an rear end in a top hat. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with it.
I freely admit I have problems understanding the concept of transgender, but I don't treat them any different than other people.

However, I do think furries and otherkin have a genuine mental problem or are just in it for the attention. They don't need acceptance, they need treatment.

It's not as easy to change ideologies many cultures have held for hundreds (in some cases, thousands) of years as just saying "the times have changed", whether it would be better for it to be that easy or not. That's why.

Treatment for what and how? Otherkin isn't listed in the dsmv and I largely doubt most therapists have heard of otherkin. Also keep in mind there is no cure for mental illnesses, just maintaining some degree of control over them. Which most otherkin folks already have w/r/t whatever otherkin poo poo they do.

August is the Cruelest Month

Trannies are mentally ill faggots & I hate them. I am personally responsible for organising a campaign to run one of those freaks out of my home town. I later learned he had killed himself, all I could do was laugh.

quote:

homeschool anon here again.

I know she has a vast amount of dildos because I was helping her move furniture around her room. Apparently she forgot, and when I went to move her mattress a bunch of them fell out. I just went to grab some soda upstairs in the kitchen and let her deal with it.

Oh and some other things I remembered:

Never vaccinated, but not for autism reasons. This was in the nineties, so fairly before the vaccine autism scare. Still not sure of the reason why, honestly.

Grandma was a nurse, so I never went to the hospital. Not even for those ordinary health check ups. Suffered with eczema all my life until I went to a doc and they gave me some poo poo for it. THANKS MOM WOW. Turns out aveeno lotion ain't the same as topical steroids, etc.
Also I'm pretty sure I fractured my arm once, but she still refused the doctor and just gave me advil for the pain. My arm still hurts when it's too cold.

Never took the door off my room, just the knob. Because surprise I kept locking my door and she got pissed about that. Like, buddy. Guess what teens kind of need when they're whacking off? A little insurance no one else is going to walk in.

Didn't let me shower on my own until maybe 13? Definitely after puberty hit. As in, she'd make me get baked, then go into the bathroom to turn the shower on. Insisted on it really. Yup. loving weird and incesty.

Never did halloween, easter, 4th of july, or any major holiday celebrations except christmas. Her reason: well you didn't enjoy it! I dunno man, it's kind of hard to enjoy something when you were never allowed to do it in the first place.

Also my sex ed was literally one pamphlet about menstruation, and reading the a beka book chapter on human sex biology. ...maybe I'm a little grateful I never got an actual 'Talk'.

Please feel free to tell me if this is weird or normal. I have no basis to judge, and I'd rather not admit to the few friends I have that I may be a loving loser with a weird childhood. It's a bit hard to make friends when you've been 'genie the feral child' the entire start of my life. Thanks goons.

Y'know I don't think I ever got The Talk either, because my dad is incredibly awkward

Luckily I had the Internet and was browsing porn by the time they would have given me the talk anyway. I do remember one time when I was 12, there was a boner joke on The Drew Carey Show and my mom tried to explain it to me and I was like, mom, I'm a 12-year-old boy, please do not try to explain to me what a boner is, thank you

It was like if your mom tried to explain to you what breathing was at age 18, if breathing was something you never ever wanted to hear your mom talk about

Anyway yeah anon your mom is really confirming my prejudices w/r/t homeschool people. Sorry to hear about your poo poo, :therapy: and :sever: and also :getvaccinated:

One time when I was a young teen I got caught looking up porn on the family computer, because i, in my stunning above-average intelligence, decided the best way to find porn was to just type "naked women" into the netscape search bar and go to town. I thought I was being sneaky because it was the middle of the night, but again, in my just pure unrestrained genius I had forgotten that netscape saves your search history if you type it right into the bar. So literally all you had to do was pull up the internet and "naked women" was right there still in the search bar. I didn't even try to cover my tracks because I thought my 1-step plan was so foolproof.

I really hope you meant to type naked because that's kind of really loving horrifying and I hope you got some kind of mental help for that if needed. Like wow buddy. Murder you're famil.

Well, as long as you didn't escalate to jamming bicycle tire pumps into your dilz hole like that e/n thread did, I'd say you're pretty normal :v: I never got caught looking at online porn because I did all that at a friend's house.

I suppose getting caught looking at dirty stuff online is the modern day 'forest porn mags' thing.

My parents also found my porn search history when I was 13 or 14, had a very awkward sit-down talk about how "they" (meaning my mom, my dad didn't really give poo poo one) wanted me to stop because it would warp my view of women

I just kinda nodded, said it wouldn't happen again, and figured out how to delete browser history within the next 5 minutes

My talk was my dad saying, "Watch out for yourself. Don't believe them if they say they're on the pill or clean. Put a drat condom on." It was good advice and even though I didn't always follow it I never caught anything!

One of my friends said he knew where his dad kept his Penthouses and we all called him a liar for months. Then he stole one and like 6 adolescent boys sat around a tree fort with awkward erections looking at printed porn. Kids have no idea how good they have it these days. Also the magic of finding "woods porn."

Delusions and paranoia are like the two biggest positive symptoms of schizophrenia and you can argue howling and pretending to be a wolf is a degradation of speech and thus a main negative symptom.

Otherkin or whatever it is appears at the same time as schizophrenia and looks like it's after a massive trauma or stressor smh

I guess it comes down to whether you think they really believe what they're talking about or are making it up for attention, or to feel special, or to fit in with others who fit one of the first two categories, or any number of other reasons that slot nicely into Munchausen syndrome
