when you look at a psychiatric diagnosis and you see that it has a 3:1 diagnostic rate of women to men, it's more likely to be diagnosed in trans people than cisgender people, and it's most prevalent in hispanic people out of any ethnic group. you really do have to consider who benefits from a label that amounts to "Biologically and Pathologically Hysterical". yknow.

identitty-dickruption

it’s not a “stigmatised” disorder. it’s a disorder that was designed to stigmatise, to shame, and to oppress. acting as though the diagnosis is a stigmatised one is missing the part where this diagnosis is in fact meeting the exact purpose it was designed to fulfil

OP's tags from both the original post and the reblog were too good to hide.

that's really exactly it.

as someone who could very easily qualify for a diagnosis of bpd or cptsd, and even very often resonates with both, everything described in bpd is just a demonization of the same patterns of behaviour described by cptsd. it is just describing you as evil for struggling with being hurt so much, and in doing so, takes the focus away from the person hurting and puts it onto how it inconveniences everyone else.

we really need to be critical of how these labels come to be, because they are deliberately created, and they are created by people with biases. they are so often just a tool of oppression, another extension of a discriminatory machine.

I hope it isn't derailing, but I think this is also really illustrated with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. "narcissist" was a word for an asshole before it was a word for a disorder. rather than describing how someone might struggle to relate to others or be open to true connection, and centering the person who needs to heal, they instead called everyone who struggles with that an irredeemable dick and dressed it up in medical expertise so you wouldn't think to question it. frankly I think it's silly to call for treating "narcissist" like some sacred medical term instead of looking at how fucked up it is that they called a disorder that???

it was ages ago, but there was a post on here talking about just how many "disorders" and diagnoses boil down to "shitty bitch disease". and well, once you see it, you never stop seeing it. anti-social personality disorder? shitty bitch disease. npd, shitty bitch disease. obstinate defiance disorder (come the fuck on) well that's shitty bitch disease. bpd is maybe the most classic example of this. you don't need to listen to her, she has shitty bitch disease. pay no mind to the fact that this label somehow only makes it onto the most marginalized. don't worry about that, because you don't need to listen to those people anyway. they don't have reasons or pain or bad days or feelings or any of that pesky stuff that real people have to explain their actions. no no, we haven't abused them, not at all. haven't you heard? they were broken from the start, and I can prove it. see? they have shitty bitch disease.

I need society to reach a point that no trans woman grows up alone feeling broken and unloved

With the tags, since people keep telling me to stop hiding stuff there

Growing up transfemme but believing yourself to be a boy is crazy like you’re subject to constant violent misogyny without the even bare bones levels of support and when you crack under the pressure people just shrug and go “try harder to be normal” and then somebody calls you a slur and nobody seems to have a problem with that

What filled you with numbness during your teenage years will make you ugly cry in bed during your late twenties

biblicallyaccuratemoth

hey btw if you’re a trans woman who was relentlessly bullied during school even if it was years before realizing you were trans the reason you were targeted was literally misogyny

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Transfemme eggs are still absorbing all the toxic and oppressive propaganda about how women are ‘supposed’ to be even before their self-realization, the major difference between them and their cis counterparts being that they are almost unilaterally incapable of living up to even the bare minimum of those expectations and usually have their self-worth shredded to pieces as a result

Oh so THAT'S why I felt that I looked awful, daaaamn. Finally I figured out what they meant by transmisogyny hurting trans women even before they figure it out!!

This sort of thing is the tip of the iceberg. Once you know to look for it, you see it rearing its ugly head in so many places
