I have pretty bad gender dysphoria. But other than that, I don't really care much about how I look. I look like Weemie! And as I get older, I'm getting more comfortable in my skin. I'm more comfortable with being a trans man, whatever that looks like. That I don't have to be cis, I don't have to...

This is the Bad Place! lmao.

Keep in mind that the neural pathways that govern sexual orientation in adults, are different than the neural pathways that exist in a pedophile which orient him/her toward children. These neural pathways are more akin to rape, sexual sadistic disorder, and other paraphilias and dysmorphias like...

I am not an atheist, so pardon my comment here, but I disagree with this sentiment. The natural world is incredible, and full of wonder and bizarre delights. You absolutely don't need to be religious or spiritual to find joy in the "simple science" of our universe. Being religious or spiritual...

Regardless of what type of crime it was, the fact of the matter is that your brain has interpreted this as a severe threat to your physical safety. And given how many different ways that situation could have played out (which is undoubtedly a source of your increased symptoms), it is reasonable...

Sure, I had abusers like this as well. The guy that I reported to his boss was a successful teacher, etc. However, I've known hundreds of pedophiles, and a significant portion of them display this developmental deficiency that is very obvious. Like I said in my post, this is not a scientific...

Based on my own experiences, I would expand this to North America in its entirety, not just the USA. People are always shocked when I talk about Canada's enormous trafficking problem. My own province has the highest rates of human trafficking in Canada! Here is the proof. On those statistics our...

@Rose White - My instinct is no, the reason being, that I think that pedophilia goes beyond fantasies - it involves urges, and it crosses over from fantasy into real life. So, if you had like, drawn a bunch of art of little boys being abused by grown men, that might indicate a more strong...

One of the clearest things thats been made apparent to me is that if your fetishes are related to trauma, it is probably a trauma response before it is a paraphilia. I used to think I was a pedophile, rapist and zoophile bc my brain would constantly pelt me with that shit. Bc I couldnt (still...

It also might be worthwhile to consider that if we could, for example, test for pedophilia I bet we would find a lot of people have the genetic predisposition for it, but they do not end up becoming pedophiles! So it's even more complexity on complexity, heh.

I'm not necessarily sure that I buy this (and I am not sure if you do either or if you are just mentioning it as a Fun Fact heh.) 1) because it operates under the assumption that the objective function of evolution is a lot more intentional than it really is (which is kind of a misconception...

So, pedophilia is not a sexual orientation, it is a paraphilia. Paraphilias are sexual, but they are distinct from sexual orientation because: -sexual orientation is relative to gender (the qualiatic interpretation of one's own physical form) and sexuality (what physical/mental forms you are...

My friend told me about his experiences on the kibbutz and it always reminded me of how ppl have called me names and shit like I've heard probably everything you can call someone! Like Omar Khadr came to halifax and people protested him, saying he wasn't welcome, and I was the crazy mf yelling...

As predicted I freaked out! 😃 I managed to hang on long enough not to remove it and then, went, oh good, that's there. Gonna never show my face again. Gd. Sorry. Idk what f*cking prompted me to do that. I guess the discussion right above. It's a weakness of some kind, and the only thing I can do...

I kno we dont use trigger warnings here but Im gonna be real, this is some f*cked up shit. And this is a group of torture survivors and you might not be in a good place, and if u arent, then yeah, skip this one.

This is the regrettable reality of the state that current therapy practice operates. Torture requires special skills, and those skills are very distinct from the skills therapists typically learn. Being a therapist to a torture survivor is a different job than being a therapist, period...

Unconditional love is a misnomer in my opinion. If someone is disrespectful or abusive, you're under no obligation to love them.

Even in "justified rapes" gag, lmao, but you know we had to go here (I mean in situations where there is literally no other choice other than rape or death etc you know what I'm talking about). It's still f*cking awful and terrible and it is something that happens as a literal last resort...

It depends how you're defining the term. If you're under the impression that forgiveness means absolving someone of responsibility for harming you, it makes sense that you wouldn't desire this. Personally I found forgiveness necessary to move on and stop being consumed by thoughts of my...

I try to remove opinions and judgment from the equation when discussing my experiences, writing about them, or thinking about them. At first there was a time where I'd be like, "yeah I was a piece of shit/a monster/etc," but now I work to eliminate subjective analysis from the equation and only...

So far the consensus seems to be PTSD, TBI (acquired) SZPD, OCD (???) GID and ADHD-HI (congenital). As a kid I was diagnosed with RAD-Inhibited, which has now been split into RAD (the inhibited version) and DSED (the disinhibited version). RAD is acquired as well, but I think that it is probably...

I didn't technically tell her, but I kind of talked around it until she guessed what it was. I still can't really talk about it openly, but having access to someone who is aware and able to respond logically does make a difference. When I was deep in the grip of things, I started reading Iris...

😖 I have brain borked disorder.

My therapist thinks it is due to moral injury. If it had been relegated to the realm of "things that happened to me" I likely would have been resilient enough to endure them, as I had significant fortitude from a very young age due to lacking the sensations of emotion. Even now it doesn't...

I'd say hold off on definitively accepting this diagnosis as accurate. PTSD typically isn't diagnosed until at least six months after the event/s in question. Acute stress disorder is more likely, and the good news is that it is reversible with effective treatments. Check into EMDR, psilocybin...
