Also, if future archaeologists are anything like the current/past ones. You know, stealing sacred religious items from Indigenous communities following the genocide of said communities (and then getting all self-rightous and claiming finders keepers when the survivors from those Indigenous communities ask for their stuff back), grinding up and eating mummies, selling human remains and ancient funerary items at auctions to the ultra rich, two out of three are definitely still happening by the way, inconclusive on the middle one. Yeah I'd rather rot and leave no trace for them.
Cool story bro... So you won't mind giving me all your gold since you wouldn't want to be mistaken for being part of the 1%, right? Oh, and your car and your house too, those are also part of the "handful of exceptions".
What? You're NOT going to give up all your worldly possessions? Funny how you change your mind when you're the one being hurt by your bigotry.
Yeah if only it were that easy to make these simpletons see reason.
I appreciate your take on this and I wish we were talking more explicitly about this in LGBTQIA+ spaces. The theory of how bpd develops is complex and probably includes biological factors (think, brain differences leading to sensory issues, memory issues, etc which then lead to certain experiences being more challenging to recover from) but you are correct that the experience of trauma and invalidation in childhood are central to the development of bpd. If we have a society that uniquely traumatizes trans folks, it makes sense that more trans folks than cis folks would have bpd as a result.
One of the more disturbing facets of some of the new anti-trans legislation in US states has been language that seeks to make it impossible for someone autistic or someone who has a personality disorder to access gender affirming care.
This ableist language is clearly the next line of attack and serves to dehumanize not just trans folks but also folks with personality disorders and neurodivergences. Anyone who thinks that these governments intend to stop at murdering trans folks is a damn fool - these laws make it clear there are other groups they intend to target.
I have met and gotten close to so many trans women with BPD (probably more with it than without), and I also am BPD and trans. There is definitely a correlation. There should be no stigma in understanding this correlation. I remember one of my conversations with an uneducated person about trans people and the BPD correlation, and he brought it up like it was a bad thing. It’s just a thing. Perhaps we could better understand ourselves if we looked further into it.
As someone not trans, and only with few trans acquaintances, but with history of emotional problems (I prefer to say “emotianal trauma” than “mental illness”) I risk steping over since I don’t have good understanding of problem trans people have, so feel free to correct me.
I think it should not even be important what is cause and what is effect, in both cases it is what you are and should be good enough for anyone. It might only be a bit important in healing BPD, but that’s something else.
This is comming just from my personal experience with self acceptance, and might not be correct.
“Reporting altered to change its meaning or accuracy violates both Reuters’ and the AP’s rules.” And nothing will be done to punish those violating it…
I’m wondering, is this something seen in trans women or trans people in general? Also, as the average age of transition trends downwards, will these coinciding issues of emotional trauma still exist? I’m hoping it lessens as it feels like its a result of emotional turmoil growing up.
