You don’t need trauma to have PTSD. You don’t need to have hallucinations to have schizophrenia or psychosis. You don’t need to have mania to have bipolar. It ALL makes sense now 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Correct me if I'm wrong cuz I'm not entirely sure, but aren't there 2 types of bipolar- one where you reach mania but not quite depression, and one where you reach depression but not quite mania? I get what you're saying with your comment though and you're right.

You don't need gender dysphoria to be trans. Unfortunately that is correct. It's my 2nd of three trans identity misconceptions (have a short video about it). Here is how: To be trans is an identity. Just like any other identities it is negotiated / accepted by your social circles and yourself. If you convince people (and yourself) to treat you as the opposite sex, you better have gender dysphoria, but no one really cares. Marcus actually cares, correctly, exactly because people can get away with adopting a trans identity without having and trying to overcome gender dysphoria. That harms everybody.

Psych Major here, BPD is less common in men due to the gender bias in mental health diagnoses. Many people with BPD benefit from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy among others. There are no medications for BPD unless there are other dx present, ie, Major Depressive Disorder. I don't know how BPD can be confused for Gender Dysphoria.

[@LatinaVixen91]

I knew it Bipolar! Type II?

[@kopykat6843]

Borderline can be confused for dysphoria because they often disassociate and feel like there body is wrong or not right or not there's etc etc etc. Just like body image disorders. Just like straight disassociation disorder. Etc. Also. Borderline is rarely properly diagnosed period. Regardless of sex. It's often misdiagnosed with other things. Just like bi polar is often misdiagnosed. I was misdiagnosed for ten fucking years. Let me tell you that was a bitch. Thinking I was failing constantly cause what's supposed to work wasn't working blah blah blah. Turns out. Nope. Not me failing but the professional being wrong.... Again. Get offended if ya want. I don't care. You psych majors wind up getting super egotistical really fucking fast and forget if your not careful you will fuck up your patients lives by being too flippant with diagnosing and making sure it's accurate and treatment, therapy, is working. If you can't take that to heart. Then your gonna be another quack that hurts far more then you help and the reason people don't trust you.

Here is MY concern. Insurance rarely if EVER covers MEDICALLY NECESSARY procedures for people actually diagnosed and STRUGGLING with dysmorphia. Want to know what TransTrenders are doing ? They are putting obstacles in the way of moving towards legislation that forces health insurers to cover these procedures because NOW they are considered COSMETIC. ALWAYS follow the money. THIS is why the constant propaganda from Transactivism is front and center. It's about making sure insurance companies can opt to NOT cover ANY treatment for transsexuals. How horrible.

I have autism and ocd, I’ve went through stages of questioning my gender because I obsess over things I nitpick with my body, which includes my female parts. I feel uncomfortable looking at them some days to the point where it makes me sick, but it’s not dysphoria at all. I still enjoy dressing feminine and I am so glad that when I was younger transitioning wasn’t an option presented to me because I would have done it, stuck with it because of social expectations and then hated it.

[@zenbamboo7978]

Autism and being trans... Oh what a tale... That I don't understand in the slightest. I'm trans, and Autistic but to me they're separate things - My Autism handles my behavioural pattern, the way I think and fit in society. Me being trans - I was always being me - just liking what I liked. I was a tomboy, fair to say. I didn't think anything of it, I was just me. And still am. Best way I can describe it is though I was born a girl, I lived every day as a little boy - as best I could anyway. I didn't think about gender at all - I suppose I still don't but I did think about it enough to get to where I am. I wasn't happy being a girl, and I just never knew why. I wanted to be with the boys, play like the boys, he a boy. But I assumed I'd grow out of that. I didn't, did I? Here I am - 7 years later, nearly 20 and I'm better. So much better. I'm happy with my transition, all systems to for top surgery next year. I've had my psychological evaluations before I even was given the green light for Testosterone and I've been consistent with everything. Yeah, there will be so damn many detransitions. And it's going to be awful. But I won't be one of them. I'm okay, and I have my head screwed. You have to have gender dysphoria to be trans. It's the bare bones of what it is: extreme discomfort in your body, so bad it's crippling and it needs to change. Take that away, what do you have?

[@slimebunny5700]

Autism and being trans are different but do go hand in hand with trans individuals majority of the time. It's because being autistic can lead to confusion about gender identity making some trans individuals feel they are trans even if they aren't. (Obviously this doesn't apply to all trans individuals it's just why autism is associated with it) even if they are genuinely trans autism does contribute in some ways to being trans for those individuals. It is odd but makes sense majority of trans individuals (in current times at least) have autism.

[@Zhoulicalou]

As an autistic person I can say for myself that I also had a ‘phase’ in my life when I first got social media at 12 where I was finding an ‘identity’ and even asked my mum for a binder for Christmas💀 I’m fourteen now and I’m still greatful she said no and instead took me to my old psychiatrist where I talked about the feelings I had the time and got through them without testosterone and hormone blockers.

[@asaris_]

As an autistic person I can understand why autistic people often struggle with gender identity. It isn't about having "the wrong body" or purely out of an obsessive rabbit hole as you mentioned. A large part of that is NOT FITTING IN. I'm female. I've never had any issues with my feminine body and all that comes with it. But I'm not a very feminine person. I don't like things many women like. I never liked spending time with women and talking to women. I simply get along better with men. Does that make me feel like a man? No. I'm a woman. Does that mean I wish I were a man? Nope. That wouldn't change shit about my struggles with feeling in some way connected to human beings. But here's the thing: I was lucky that I grew up with an autistic mother who taught me from very early on that it's more important to be who you are and do what you like and spend time with who you like to spend time with than it is to FIT IN and DO WHAT EVERYONE ELSE DOES. I know that's my blessing. Because most autistic girls grow up being constantly told they're not girly enough and everyone around them are trying to force them into some kind of "mold" for "socially acceptable girl". The same goes for not very "boyish" autistic boys who rather hang out with the girls instead of the boy wolf pack whose rules they don't understand. THAT'S the main problem with autistic people and the prevalence of "gender fluidity" or "gender identity issues". The problem is being forced to fit some kind of box. The problem is being told that if you like cars and football and prefer to hang out with boys as a girl (and again, the other way around for boys). If people stopped trying to force everyone around them into socially accepted and expected boxes, a lot of these problems wouldn't be problems. It wasn't and isn't for me. I'm simply me. People who can't deal with that... well, who cares. There's people who like me for who I am. Which is an hourglass shaped, long legged, dress wearing woman who likes to crack jokes like a sailor on shore leave and doesn't give a shit about makeup or even trying to pretend being feminine in her interactions. 🤷‍♀️

I'm a detransitioner who has a lot of trauma. I don't regret my transition because I didn't do too many irreversible changes and I eventually grew into myself and healed from a lot through therapy, but I think my life would have been way better if I hadn't been misdiagnosed with dysphoria so fast. It would have benefitted me to have had more intensive help through body dysmorphia and my severe PTSD instead of transitioning. I support trans people and I think its needed for some people, but I think that it would benefit the population to approach things in a more intentional way. Now I do feel genuine dysphoria on top of everything else and its manageable, but very uncomfortable. Sending love to everyone. I hope people can find who they are or accept themselves in a safe way

Detransitioner woman with BPD here (Borderline). Absolutely have identity issues. Before I thought I was trans, I thought I was bipolar, schizophrenic, even DID (which is embarrassing now bc it’s the cool TikTok gen z thing almost as much as trans, but I’m a millennial, born in 1990) a lot of things throughout my life. Something a person said - or even a character in a movie or book - would resonate me, and I’d somehow feel like I had their whole same identity, not just one tiny feeling in common. I’m just lucky I self-corrected and detransitioned, stopped hormones, before surgery. It’s really embarrassing; I feel so incredibly pathetic. Working hard in therapy though.

Hey Marcus! Love your content and your style! Wanted to give you a quick heads-up about bipolar disorder. It’s a mood disorder and has nothing to do with personality. It is a psychiatric disorder where the person suffers from episodes of depression and (hypo)mania, and can be kept in check with the help of the right medication and has zero bearing on your personality. On the other hand, borderline IS a personality disorder where you might experience an identity crisis, an emotional void, or a colossal need for attention. So, you’re spot on when you say some of these people might have untreated borderline personality disorder, but bipolar is a whole different story. Just a quick foot note. Keep up the great commentary! ❤

I had to learn the hard way but I’d rather treat my body with love even if I am not comfortable being a woman. I’m not comfortable being a trans man either. It’s better to learn to cope than to take hormones and get surgery. I’d rather have a healthy body even if my mind feels uncomfortable.

I have autism and in 2020-2021 I considered myself "Trans" I cut my hair short but I still dressed in tops and skirts and did my nails and didn't look like a man, I liked being feminine. I had so many "identities"/"sexualities". Here's what I identified as: Trans man, demi-girl, pansexual-gay. No it's not a joke, I was delusional. I met Blaire White last year I'm pretty sure, and Marcus this year, and now I simply identify as a bisexual woman who's not only feminine but also a tomboy. My view on so many things changed and realized that the world is fucked up. I wanted to be a "minority" and feel special, yes I didn't like my body, I still don't but I'm not a man...
