identifying as a gender is not the same as identifying as a fucking animal

@berlioz

I guess I can make a statement.

Anyone who truly believes they are something other than human is experiencing a delusion and/or has a mental disturbance.
For example, people with Dissociative Identity Disorder. Some alters may not be human- this is because alters are formed due to trauma, and usually when the patient is young. In dumbed down terms, imagine a young girl has experienced trauma- she wishes she were strong, like a dragon. Her brain creates a seperate alter that's a dragon so she can be strong. Imagine a young boy is traumatized- he wishes he were invisible, maybe even dead. He develops a dead alter, a ghost. DID is a coping mechanism, and patients may use fantasy and fiction to cope. It's not uncommon.
Other trans-species people may have a different illness, like schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, and other mood+thought disorders that can cause delusions and hallucinations.
That being said, there're trans-species people who don't truly believe they're not human. They're just really into hardcore body-alteration, make-believe, and being and oddball.

@HighPockets group

As in "on all levels except physical, I am a wolf" trans-species?

Apparently the person in that vine later came out as a trans woman, iirc

@berlioz

They're just really into *hardcore body-alteration, make-believe, and being and oddball.

Which is super valid imo.

Yeah, pretty much. But of course there are boundaries no one ought to overstep.

Oh yes. Clarification. Transexual is the same formula. Transgender to me seems a bit harder to define since no one sticks to a definition. Does it mean the sex or the set of values and expectations and such that is sometimes called gender? But I've also heard that gender equates to what society sees you as. Which in that case, it would be nearly impossible to be transgender. But if we go to the Trans in the Bathroom then I would think it equates to sex.

Yeah. But I think many of them are arbitrarily set and perhaps should be broken.

I can agree there. But of someone is getting thousands of dollars worth plastic surgery so they can ascend to their true elfin form,,,, something's up lol.

I understand approximately 20% of this

Especially since anyone why actually knows about elves would know without asking that an elfin form is truly unattainable.
