This is potentially the grimmest perspective I’ve ever read. I don’t think you’re wrong, either.

Tony hawk gazes upon the mountains before him. The pale mountains of Switzerland, in the multilingual country of Switzerland, located near the center of Europe. The peaks before him, Swiss mountains of the country of Switzerland in a region predominantly speaking German, beckoned him. He loaded his skateboard underneath his arm and ambled toward the mass of earth that he would make his.

The journey was long and rife with Italian and German-speaking Swiss pointing out his appearance, but he broke free of their eyes and ankles and climbed to the summit. As he slid the skateboard out from beneath his sensuous arm, he awakened. In one fluid motion, he dropped and mounted the board, riding down the mountain like a man in fire, breaking the language barrier as he shrieked affirmations of his identity in hypoxic confusion. Each of his limbs were found in separate lingual regions, leading the world to posthumously dub him “Switzerland’s Exodia.”

Some context links go to entirely different comment chains as well.

Political stability is reasonable, economy’s unstable, seems uneasy. I get curious every few years and read up.

You mention downvotes? Believe it or not, reduce. You mention upvotes, also reduce. We have the best comments in the world because of reduce.

conservatives have been scapegoating assorted minorities and disempowered people since the Industrial Revolution. The hate’s baked in! Might as well put it on the label.

And I mind the downvotes, because they’re indicative of bigots. Fun to see who they are from kbin, though.

It’s my right to disown any queer children I may or may not have, and it’s the school’s duty to help. I presume that’s the opinion of the people downvoting you.

This guy is definitely, 100% a troll, so I’m not sure whether they actually believe what they’re saying. Still, I might end up correcting someone’s misconceptions.

Because if any other disease had a 42% fatality rate, this conversation wouldn’t be happening. It’s currently our best, and only, treatment even if it seems icky. Therapy for actual dysphoria is about as effective as praying is for getting rid of homosexuality.

And I thought you immediately downvoted and moved on, as this is a dead post. My b

If bots don’t end up an overwhelming issue, maybe. The internet has overwhelmingly changed between the formation of Reddit and the formation of Lemmy. Novel issues and solutions will form something new.

Brb, gonna stick up a train so I can begin my new life as a conductor. I wonder what the US would be like if prison were a place to deradicalize and rehabilitate.

Increased population in lemmy.world is attributable to Redditisfun directly linking to this instance with its dying notification. Other instances may have vastly different compositions as a result.

Or, everyone’s password should be “password.” Hackers will be too busy compromising an endless stream of accounts to use any of them. Checkmate.

It’s not internally consistent to accept the limitations of modern medicine, and disregard them seconds later. The reality of the situation is that while people entirely irrelevant to the conversation suggest improving treatment and plead for delays, those experiencing dysphoria suffer. As republicans love to say, 42%. Don’t miss the forest for the trees, preferring death to what you’ve been told to perceive as disfigurement.

If lemmy goes in the wrong direction and everyone abandons (water)ship, Lenny would be a good pejorative. After all, who better to unwitting snap a rodent’s neck than Lenny?

This is interesting, I cannot reply to iAmTheTot’s comment, but there’s no issue commenting on any other comments. Is it because they’re on kbin?

I like never reading “should of”, as well. Every browser and phone’s autocorrect aggressively suggests a correction to “have.” Sometimes you don’t notice an apostrophe appearing in the middle of a word, so I can forgive “it’s,” but there’s little excuse for fighting with autocorrect to write “should of.”

Generally, that’s how they transition; they get therapy and consult medical professionals to see whether it’s dysphoria or another issue. It isn’t taken lightly by anyone involved, and the dysphoria generally improves on treatment, as do their associated syndromes. They’re unwell, so they seek out the best treatment we currently have for the illness they’re diagnosed with.

The human brain is still far from being understood well enough to affect the incredibly complex feeling of dysphoria in the way you’re seeking. To compare medications and therapy to the tools of a carpenter, we currently have hammers and nails, and some crude saws. We’re on the cusp of creating chisels, and decades from grinders. Treating dysphoria would require a router, which is a decade past that. There aren’t any other solutions for this rare, often fatal, condition.

If you’re interested in helping those unfortunate enough to have it, and aren’t interested in standing back for medical professionals to do their thing, working in medical research to expedite the creation of other treatment options would be your best bet.

TLDR: you’ve overestimated current medical and psychological science to be able to have said any of this, but may be able to create your vision of a cure within your lifetime.

I might sound a bit elitist, but the sort of people who would join Threads would lead to step 0 of the enblandening of the entire fediverse. Not to mention increased bot spam. I say this as someone who is likely enblandening the fediverse.
