Cross dressing while identifying as male could be a method of coping
All sexual perversion is cope for something. While personally I find it gross and haram, it is what it is. Don't care rly.
Freud reading corner
Caught up on sum lite freud reading, and this appeals to pooner only, but it's quite interesting. For the longest time I always thought Freud's hyper-focus on sexuality is neither here nor there, and might be a bit much, and just never looked much into it. Still need to look into penis envy more. Caught up on "Dora: An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria" and saw an interesting quote
These masculine or, more properly speaking, gynaecophilic currents of felling are to be regarded as typical of the unconcious erotic life of hysterical girls.
By gynaecophilic, Freud is only referring to
being attracted to females, but in the context of it being
masculine, or sexuality that is typical of males. I mean, most pooners are gay homos, but "male" mode of sexuality can definitely be manifested more than being gay homo, and seep into general composure of the pooner, making it wanting to be a pooner.
Here's another, in "General Remarks on Hysterical Attacks (1909)"
In general, the hysterical attack, like every form of hysteria, in women recalls to action a form of sexual activity which existed during childhood, and had at that time a pronounced masculine character. One may often observe that it is just those girls who in the years before puberty showed a boyish character and inclinations who tend to become hysterical at puberty. In a whole series of cases the hysterical neurosis is nothing but an excessive overaccentuation of the typical wave of repression through which the masculine type of sexuality is removed and the woman emerges.
The sexual activity which existed during childhood Freud is referring to in this text is masturbation, I don't think it's referring to sexual trauma. Never made sense to me before, now I'm obsessively staring into the troon poon abyss, it makes so much fucking sense. All the pooners are the most neurotic bitches you could ever meet. And I guess for the pooners, the masculine type of sexuality is never removed, and the woman never emerges.
what's more interesting is this quote earlier:
Since the repressed complex consists of libidinal cathexis and ideational content (phantasy), the attack may be aroused...(4) in the service of the secondary tendencies (epinosic gain) with which the state of illness becomes connected as soon as the patient can gain a useful purpose by the production of an attack
For Freud hysteria is more like generally being mental and crazy, and not necessarily episodic. He for sure would consider a woman who thinks she's a man to be hysterical. Funnily enough how being a poon is exactly at the same time a mental illness AND guarantees secondary gains of approval from poon echo-chambers.
If Freud had known the pooners, he would be so shocked at the level of psychopathology prevalent today. His case study, Dora, was just a strange, socially awkward, and mentally unstable GIRL, maybe with a tiny side of gay homo. Freud thought her repression of feelings for a guy etc were the roots of her hysteria, and definitely thought she was sick and not normal. Wait till he sees them bitches who are so neurotic and hysterical, they can't even manage to repress the "masculine type of sexuality." They are truly the classical Borderline: right on the border of neurosis and psychosis. So neurotic they exhibit psyhotic-appearing beliefs--being a man--but not in general truly psychotic. Will update with more psychoanalytic munbo jumbo after reading them penis envy
