So I read the replies to the post, then dove into the reddit histories of about a half dozen of the most freaked out responses- ie the ones obviously worried that they themselves are pooners. It's all very weird/fascinating, and not at all surprising. (I'm not linking/archiving all this because it's just 6-7 random anon TiFs being tragic). Are these, in fact, pooners? You be the judge
They're quite young: ranging from 17-early 20s. Only one of the handful had a selfie
Eh, could be worse. Then I started reading the posts/comments of the girls regarding their concerns.
Unsurprisingly, self-harm was a common theme.
But wasn't the only sign that they're mentally ill
No, I mean REALLY mentally ill
This poor soul laments that she can't express her symptoms of psychosis, claiming she can physically feel inflammation in her brain which stops her from doing so. Ironically, this claim makes her sound...psychotic.
Later she talks about how she can barely hide her symptoms
I want to break here and make it clear that while I think this is all bizarrely fascinating, I don't take pleasure in these displays of human suffering because I'm not Hellraiser McEdgelord. One of the most frustrating things about "journalism" re: kiwifarms is the idea that having dark humor around messed up things means that we're all delighted when people are suicidal or hurting themselves. It's maddening, because
I'm not the one cheering this on and enabling it, gender clinics are. Therapists and grade school teachers and Chinese brainworm apps like TikTok are. People who report on KF never report on the actual content because they can't actually deal with why a TiF can't get proper treatment when she wants to scar her face and pull one of her eyes out.
Anyway, enough moralfagging: here's a TiF who wants to....scar her face and pull one of her eyes out.
This one thinks her "fibromyalgia" is making injections so incredibly painful that she can still feel the pain ten years later. But I'm sure all this will also be solved by physical mutilation
And she has phantom pain from top surgery. Except....she hasn't had top surgery yet.
This person is clearly deranged, and depending on her country, because of laws around gender ideology, there may not be a therapist allowed or even
trained to actually treat all of her issues. She could end up with a radical double mastectomy instead.
Gee you guys think they have some unresolved trauma maybe
And I saved the most devastating for last. More than one of these girls was posting in the Detransition threads....
....years ago.
There really is nowhere for them to go and no meaningful institutional support or mental health care.
I know it's the pooner thread which is absolutely surreal hilarious entertainment, but it's also dark af, and like I said, I really believe the entire pooner memes being so brutally honest is a signpost on the road that is leading inevitably to gender ideology crumbling in the years to come.
