I look in the mirror, see a masculine dude and feel a strong urge to suppress every effeminate bone in my body. I’m quite certain this is how most people operate. Most people you meet don’t have a personality that differs greatly from their appearance, I don’t think people have some independent “inner self,” rather the self is molded your interactions with the world, which is greatly influenced by your appearance. If this causes distress it’s just mental illness, likely caused by excessive isolation that allows the self to part from reality

no I’m just being honest

most people don't have to suppress an inherent part of themselves every day with their own reflection serving as a source of dejection.
You just are a repper

>most people don't have to suppress an inherent part of themselves every day
sry I personally just can not believe this. Most of the global population is religious and religion is an ideology of suppression

>>40489286 (OP)
I mean I wear black tees and dirty pants most of the time and I'm doing quite alright for myself. You are incorrect in your assessment.

The institution of religion is all about control. It imposes repression on people who could easily find fulfillment in stuff that's been deemed heretical because of uninformed and archaic views.
Pointing at other people who rep some part of themselves because of external reasons doesn't mean that is how a fulfilling life can be lived. Most religious people I know are deeply miserable in some way or another, not all obv, but most.
All in all, repping is stupid, and you might like living more if you were on e

The fact that religion is so popular despite making people miserable makes me feel there is something fundamental about it to humanity, i.e. people need it because suppression of the self is necessary for a functioning society

>>40489992
Faith is inherent to being human, not institutionalized religion. Suppression of the self is necessary to maintain the status quo of our society, not in order to maintain a functioning society in general
If being happy requires you to break the mold, then that mold was meant to be broken to begin with

>>40490179
I have to suppress my desire to be a lazy neet to function in society and suppressing my effeminacy is no different. I’m pretty sure everyone goes through that and religion just helps give you motivation to be normal

>>40489992
thats the social contract

bigender perhaps? or girlboss restrained by society (joker laugh)

>>40489992
sometimes things survive even if they make us miserable. like /tttt/ for instance. its not inherent, its just inevitable

>>40491955
that’s what I’m saying I think anyone could be convinced they’re repressing something bc repression of the self is just a normal part of life
>>40492584
no I don’t believe that gender nonsense bc i can’t make myself believe that the self is somehow separate from the body. Like trannies and femfags are visibly feminized. If I want to be like them when I’m not visibly feminized it has to be mental illness

this place does have a purpose tho I can’t talk about these things in normie lgbt spaces

>Most people you meet don’t have a personality that differs greatly from their appearance,
lmao. yeah right

>>40489286 (OP)
unfortunately i think you are 100% correct

>>40493158
it’s true tho, like at least on a surface level. I’m basically saying its sorta like people dress for their body, they generally have a voice and demeanor that matches their physical appearance
