If we can try to find the root of Kevin's unhappiness (something a professional therapist should be doing), I think a combination of his dad dying young and his shitty teen years. Kevin mentioned in a tweet that "high school broke him" once, so I get the sense he's one of those fags who never got over the fact the popular kids didn't like him. That explains why he's obsessed with being "the hot girl", he's trying to be the popular girl that he could never date when he was younger. I wouldn't be surprised if "Katherine" was the name of a cheerleader at his school.
Depression aside, Kevin's lazyness, blatant sexism, shameless grifting and grooming of other vulnerable people means I have no sympathy for him.
I ended up one of the small handful of BFFs of the most popular kid in my grade one year. It was 100% because we were the
only people trusted to not blow smoke up their ass... It kind of killed
any desire to be the popular kid, because it sucked, and why be friends with the ones who
want smoke blown up their ass--or aren't bright enough to realize that's what their 'friends' are doing?
The real question is, how much of what we see now is just Kev having gotten better since his high school years at his attempts to be a suck-up, and how much is just a result of being in more autistic circles? (There's a lot of research and humans on the whole have very good built-in BS detectors--it's part of why flattery tends to fuck people up--and we tend to instinctively
not want people who keep spouting BS around.)
Therapists also aren’t miracle-worker mind-readers. In order to get lasting help from a therapist, you have to be completely honest about your feelings and thoughts. Even the ugly ones that you know are bad and are struggling to confront. You can’t dress them up or frame them in a light that makes you look good or gives you what you think you want. This is the whole point of doctor-patient confidentiality, in my humble opinion.
This is why therapy for transgenders is some medieval medical bullshit. Kevin and his ilk are pretty much incapable of telling the truth, even and especially to themselves.
The fact that screeching retards on kiwifarms can see this and licensed professionals can’t (won’t?) is p scary.
One of the
huge reasons we had a spike of crime in the 60s-70s in the US is because, to put it bluntly, a lot of shrinks were claiming they could do miracle cures for crimes that are caused by mental issues--not just illness, but things like needing the regular memos not to rape people (and maybe this tattooed on your forehead--maybe as "Please remind me not to rape people. Thank you!").
They also assumed every single fucking word out of their patients' mouths was complete and total truth.
When their patients had
huge incentives to lie to them.
The general agreement is that the shrinks at that time were
nuts. I have not heard if we at least have gotten around to teaching licensed professionals that people...lie.
Based Blanchard touched on this with his studies, troons LIE (see: cope in the cycle). And this keeps doctor and patient from making any progress. You are essentially just pissing away your $60-350+ dollars (for therapists/psychiatrists) by not telling the truth. A lot of gender specialists nowadays want to reaffirm and not treat. By treat I mean get to the bottom of the dysphoria, autism coping, treat depression, anxiety, work through trauma and whatever likely cluster B personality disorder is there. If you REALLY want to troon out, you will still want to when these are healed
The issue is that a lot of therapists are afraid to say "no" or don't treat these other issues BEFORE hormones. They're afraid to get lambasted in a community or publish something unsavory that will make troons and aidens froth at the mouth. But they're either ignorant or just scared of the transcult taking away (non-tenured) university positions or licensure etc.
In reality, going through puberty a second time when you have all of these issues only compounds them and makes them worse. You then drink the Kool-Aid and believe the lie that as soon as you have all of your surgeries everything will be fine and you will be a real girl. But then you end up like jazz Jennings where you've had your gender confirmation surgery and the light has gone out in your eyes. Your flesh wound hurts all the time and wont heal because you keep dilating it. If you were a tard and forgot to get professional lasering, your flesh tube now has hair inside it like a true & honest woman (or in what would be your urethra if you got a dick tube). And you will have hole hairballs the rest of your life. On top of that, your problems are still there and likely worse. You are at the end of the journey but realize it's empty and you now must cope seethe and dilate til the end of your days. Wishing someone had actually told you the truth but knowing if you say anything plebbit will ban you, the community will shun you, and there's nothing you can do to unfuck your body.
It's worse--a lot of therapists
sincerely believe that transitioning will cure these other issues. I'm actually fine
overall with not necessarily delaying starting HRT until they're clear--some of them are
functionally incurable--but
definitely you want to get them managed.
They aren't just ignoring that troons lie, or that you need to get shit under control to be
sure before you pull the trigger--they're lying to their patients. The transcult is
insisting on this.
When you get down to it, the transcult is one of the largest risks to trans health that exists. It's pushing affirmation, which is a
proven shit treatment, and REEEing when people try to go with evidence-proven paths. (This also makes is
annoying if you know enough when you're seeking treatment to NOPE out. It's like having your online dating app matching you exclusively to people who are probably serial rapists/murderers/yes when all you're looking for is a nice, normal date.)
At the end of the day,
nobody here is as much of a danger to even troons as the transcult.
