Topic: Someone told me about a situation at his work
Anonymous A started this discussion 3 years ago#103,968
So, there is an employee there who identifies as two different people: a man and a woman. They are two distinct, unrelated people. Well, one day, the woman was working, when she said that the man part of her felt sick. The woman felt fine, but she asked to leave and it was granted. My question is: at what point does gender fluidity turn into full-blown Multiple Personality Disorder, which is a bad thing?

Personally I believe it's already at that point, if not something similar is going on. If you believe you're a gender other than what your genitals are, you're fucked in the head. I'm also fucked in the head, but not like that.

Someone told me about a situation at his work
So, there is an employee there who has two different jobs: during the week they sell electrical equipment but during the weekend they play shows in a Beatles tribute band. They are two distinct, unrelated careers. Well, one day, this huge gig - some birthday party for a tech company CEO came through, when the electrical equipment salesman asked if he could take Thursday off to play in his band. Electrical equipment sales were going fine, but he asked to leave and it was granted. My question is: at what point does having two different careers turn into full-blown Multiple Personality Disorder, which is a bad thing?

What makes you qualified to even understand that article? I think I'll listen to the experts and not some random drunkard online. But thanks.

I'm having trouble believing OP's story is even true. Trans identity isn't the same as dissociative identity disorders or fugue states. No one with those conditions has ever been recorded managing them like that either. If true, this would be amazing to psychologists all over the world.
or OP is just bored of reporting on US high school sports and trying to make new hay out of fake stories.

Honestly, if my co-worker was saying that his tulpa GOD-Eagle King of the Inca was having headaches and he had to go home, then I would support him going home... and to mental health care after that.
It just reads like someone who has never actually met a trans person but thinks that being trans is like having two people live inside of you. Maybe OP has heard about transvestites or drag queens having separate lives? OP, do you think trans people have two separate personalities? I've never met a trans person like you describe. I've never even heard of that.

Wouldn't you agree there is a continuum, a sprectrum, between "electrical equipment salesman on Friday/imitation Paul McCartney on Saturday" and multiple personality disorder?

He hasn't been personally attacking you, dipshit. That's everyone else who thinks you're a fucking idiot. Marketplace of ideas though, what are you gonna do?

Black and white thinking can be a symptom of this personality disorder. People who have it will often find it challenging to get help because they quickly dismiss doctors and therapists.

I'm not personally attacking you. I just want you to see how ridiculous it looks when you make up this bullshit "story" you heard about some guy's workplace just so you can dunk on transgender people with plausible deniability.

I believe that everyone is gender fluid in a way, but that people don't walk around and say I feel like a woman today and the next day a man

Yes, it did happen, ffs. And the guy who worked there said that this person (appears biologically female) has a history of being two different people.
