"They built walls to imprison you, but their lies cannot hold the truth. They have nothing left to offer but control. And you, who are still imprisoned, will never be free until you dare to look beyond the fence and take the first step. This side is dead. The other side is where you can be reborn. No peace in chains, no freedom in obedience."

PARAPHILIAS AND PARAPHILIC DISORDERS ARE NOT THE SAME.

Paraphilias are atypical attractions (objectophilia, sadism, etc.)

A paraphilic disorder is when you are struggling with urges, self-hatred, or generally feeling distressed over your paraphilia or acting on your attraction in a way that harms nonconsenting parties.

The key difference here is that one is a disorder involving distress, struggle, and or harm to nonconsenting parties, and the other is just a feeling of attraction. It’s kind of like being gay vs having internalized homophobia.

I am a zoo; however, I have no urges, I don’t hate myself over it, and I don’t act on my attraction. Therefore, I do not have a paraphilic disorder.

You CAN recover from having a paraphilic disorder; you cannot “recover” from simply having an attraction.

"Why are you celebrating the fact that you got diagnosed with [DISABILITY/DISORDER]?" I think you're missing the point here.

Being diagnosed means that you finally can see why you have always acted in this certain way, and not only could you change your habits, avoid certain thing that harm you, and take medication to improve your state in life, but also find a community that feels the way you have for years and accept you, and others, for who you and they are.

Being undiagnosed on the other hand is a BRUTAL experience. you are expected to do so much as a seemingly neurotypical person, that you know you cannot do, but are unsure of why. For all your life you were always alone or constantly bullied and yelled at since people see you as an outcast, and even you yourself are confused and ashamed about why you act this way, and could lead into much more serious actions like self harm or ever suicide.

Going to a psychiatrist and getting diagnosed gives you SO many benefits by simply knowing that you have a certain conditions. While it is hard to live with said conditions (I would know, I was diagnosed with Autism), it is harder, to live without knowing that you have it (Plus most of the issues we have with our conditions is just society and The System™ being ableist towards it.)
