  • They storm up the river, patience from Zhou, waiting in the wake, Na’Vi’s about to be caught. Oh there’s the sleep, the surge, he catches everyone! Oh this could be a total disaster! Vacuum in, ravage on everyone, the blackhole as well. LightofHeaven, he turns it around, ravage as well, stolen by Dendi. ARE YOU KIDDING ME, THEY TURNED IT AROUND. 4 heroes dead, 5 heroes dead, Chuan trying to survive, Chuan’s gonna go down. Puppey talked about the naga counter, it’s lightofheaven with his bkb. They turned it around.










  • So much so it becomes an overwhelming preoccupation out of a perceived flaw that needs to be corrected. Otherwise why do it at all? Why undergo surgery if you’re satisfied and comfortable with how you are presently?

    But Gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia are different. Affirming a persons gender and more importantly transition does successfully treat it, while affirming BDD does not do so, that’s why the treatments are different.

    We don’t treat cancer with chemo because “that’s what you do with cancer,” we do so because it’s an effective treatment.

    You are just dogmatically rejecting a form of effective treatment for an issue for some reasons. (Gee, I wonder what kind of skeletons are in that closet.).

    TL;DR you’re a silly little guy

    Yet it was removed from the DSM-5 due to pressure from people outside the science community insisting

    Gender dysphoria is to my knowledge still in the DSM

    edit: I looked it up and the only possibly related change I could find is that the wording of “disorder” was removed from the definition, it is still however in the DSM.

    That gender affirming care often coming hand in hand with body dysmorphia.

    [citation needed]

    My point is I can’t figure out why this is the only mental illness that is reinforced and supported rather than treated. For instance we dont let anorexics make themselves skinny so their dysmorphia goes away, we use corrective therapy.

    Because gender affirming care is a successful treatment and works for reducing the distress, as opposed to stuff like conversion therapy, which does not.

    BDD and gender dysphoria are different disorders and so they have different diagnostic criteria and different treatments. Affirming eating disorders or body dysmorphic disorders does not help treat them.

    The one doing the politics here is you, ironically.
