Age dysphoria already exists, it usually manifests as a midlife crisis.
Unfortunately, medical treatment is so expensive that only billionaires can afford a regenerative medicine physician.

That trans identified man is a hypocrite.

And a least a 45 year old person identifying as a 10 year old has actually been 10 in the past and knows what it is like.

A man has never been a woman

This has to be some sort of trauma reaction, surely?

Many people do all sorts of odd things as a trauma reaction or if they are having a mental health crisis, but that doesn't make any of it real, or merit newspapers reporting on this without any effort to point out the safeguarding issues here for the children involved.

I've always been interested in the difference between how people with hallucinations and delusions are treated depending on whether there's a religious vision involved or not. Some of the former have become saints, but the ones who simply think they're Napoleon end up in a psychiatric hospital. It seems to me we're in a modern day variant of that.

It is annoying, jellyfish are stunning

Literally, in some cases! Even in British waters there are some very dangerous ones.

Why are these men identifying as little girls? Surely they should be identifying as little boys? It can’t be that it is some kind of fetish, can it, particularly when they dress like frilly pink Bo-Peeps?

Mail version of the same interview

www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3356084/amp/I-ve-gone-child-Husband-father-seven-52-leaves-wife-kids-live-transgender-SIX-YEAR-OLD-girl-named-Stefonknee.html

In an emotional video with gay news site a^ in collaboration with The Transgender Projectt^, Stefonknee (pronounced ‘Stef-on-knee’) Wolscht, 52, of Toronto, says she realized she was transgender - rather that simply a cross-dresser - at age 46, and split from her wife, Maria, after she told her husband to 'stop being trans or leave'.

Now, Stefonknee lives with friends who she cans her 'adoptive mommy and daddy' as a six-year-old girl, dressing in children's clothing and spending her time playing and coloring with her adoptive parents' grandchildren.

Stefonknee says her 'adoptive' family, which consists of an older couple and their children and young grandchildren, are completely accepting of her identifying as a little girl.

She says she's living as a six-year-old girl because it's something she could never do when was in grade school.

'I can’t deny I was married. I can’t deny I have children,' she says in the video. 'But I’ve moved forward now and I’ve gone back to being a child. I don’t want to be an adult right now.'
Stefonknee further adds: 'I have a mommy and a daddy - an adopted mommy and daddy - who are totally comfortable with me being a little girl. And their children and their grandchildren are totally supportive.'

Good grief 😳 Some people are completely delusional.

Stefoknee is in a sexual relationship with both of his 'adopted parents '. Who let him play with their grandchildren while LARPing as a child. More red flags than a communist party parade.

I think the jellyfish thing is because there is a type of jellyfish which can go back to it's immature 'child' developmental stage, if under threat (caveat I am getting this info from a vaguely-remembered episode of Octonauts!)

Those poor children. I don't see any way he's not a pedo, sorry if that's bigoted.

Search up Puella Aeterna (or Puer aeternus if you’re male).

It’s a fascinating concept in Jungian psychology and many of us will see ourselves in there. It’s a very unhappy state of existence.

Surely this is a good thing? More and more people are opening their eyes to transgender ideology being nonsense. Surely the more this happens (trans age, trans race, trans abled etc) the more people will see the insanity of it?

As an aside, do you ever think Reddit posts read like they've been started half way through a conversation? Half of them make no sense to me whatsoever!

lordloveadog · 26/01/2024 07:45

'When the body got older but the mind remained a child' is a clever way of reframing to make it sound like they're talking about some sort of disability. We know of course that some people's mental ages do remain undeveloped. And so as often, there's a piggybacking on actual issues to try to normalize behaviour which isn't at all the same.

Sunflower8848 · 26/01/2024 07:40

Sounds like Internal Family Systems:

IFS is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.
IFS is frequently used as an evidence-based psychotherapy, helping people heal by accessing and healing their protective and wounded inner parts. IFS creates inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts.
But IFS is much more than a non-pathologizing evidence-based psychotherapy to be used in a clinical setting.

So....

I now know the jellyfish is the sign for someone who is into transage! Keep an eye out for those jellyfish badges!!

There's a sticky note on the sidebar explaining that 'age dysphoria' is not 'age play' or paedophilia.

Thank goodness for that.

I'm assuming 'adult babies' is part of this 'age dysphoria ' shtick.

And I'm wondering why the Dutch bloke who said he was trans age got so much stick from Jane Fae. Maybe because he didn't have 'passing privilege'...

No, exactly. I don't think anyone should be telling children he's a little girl though.

I agree. His LARPing as a six yr old girl is an adult activity, and should be explained as play pretend to any children. He shouldn’t be living with children either. I don’t know how social services is allowing it.

It’s the age regression that I object to. I would care if he were a transwoman or nonbinary. But adult LARPing as a six year old when they do not have multiple personality disorder, that’s Munchausen attention seeking, isn’t it? And what happens if he starts on playing at sibling rivalry with the real children? They could get hurt.

It just sounds desperately sad to me. I can’t imagine how that could be mentally healthy any more than if they’d decided they were Napoleon or the late Queen.

She said that even in jail, where she spent nine days in solitary confinement (but does not explain what for), she played.

She made the cell a kingdom and sang songs there and would not be an adult, so she said they could not hurt her, saying, “If I’m six-years-old, I don’t have to think about adult stuff.”

Ms Wolscht still does adult things like drink coffee and drive a car, but does these things as a little kid.

As she was never allowed to be a little girl, she feels she is “filling that tank full of little girl experiences” and loves the fact that she has access to "really pretty clothes" and doesn’t have to act her age.
