Ready for 'age dysphoria'?

'When the body got older but the mind remained a child. A place for people who grew up on the outside but still feel like a child mentally (age dysphoria.) To discuss, understand and help each other.'

I'm sure I saw a case of a 50-year-old man identify as an 18-year-old girl who was swimming (and changing) with that age category, over in Canada. Fuck knows why the parents or the swimming club allowed it.

Transage is an absolute gift for pedophiles.

Yes
and, personally, I guess a key difference with DID presentation is

• that ‘part’ did actually exist,
• the treatment plan is usually to strengthen the functional adult part whilst also allowing any other ‘parts’ to be heard. Ultimately the adult part will liaise with any other parts in a safe and contained way, but the adult can override eg in public.

so allowing and encouraging an older male to be a six year old girl goes against all of the treatment plans and, as someone said, he hasn’t ever been a girl!! @Karensalright i really hope you were joking when you said splitting off is psychobabble, if you work with abuse survivors. i manage a team in a sexual violence therapy service. It’s not common to see DID but we always have at least one case. if anyone is interested, Carolyn Spring is a DID survivor and has a great website. re the actual age trans thing though - no. Enough already.

What?! No it doesn't, at all!

One is a healthy approach to healing trauma with a licensed professional with an aim to becoming a healthier functioning adult.

The other is at best trauma actively manifesting as severe disassociation and regression, and at worst adults getting a kinky thrilled or worse out of pretending to be children or opting out of their responsibilities.

And the worst examples are always the men because of course they are.

"I'm not a fucking creepy mediocre man who has just walked away from my wife and children and responsibility to provide for even myself let alone parent the children I made and be a functional member of society; I'm a special little 6 year old girl. I just want to play with my toys all day while I get to keep the bits of being an adult that I enjoy, like drinking coffee, driving my car and fucking my pretend adoptive parents.

Fuck. That. Shit.

This is an adult man, who enjoys the persona of a very young little girl, who then has anal sex with 'daddy'.

The place for this is private role play in the bedroom. Outside of that it is inappropriate in the extreme, and about exhibitionism and involving non consenting others in the fetish, while seeing what good natured, well intended people can be manipulated into believing and indulging. It is about breaking other people's boundaries. And the next obvious step to 'out and proud' is 'coming to nursery with your toddler'. It's not like the path has not been laid by men identifying as women and then expecting their LARP to have no boundaries.

Having read the first few posts out seems very sad.
Mostly early 20 y/o who are scared of life and scared to get out into the big wife world.

They may feel vulnerable and scared, I get it, but they're clutching at the wrong straws in wanting to cling to a childlike state.

Thanks for the heads up

There is already a biohacking thread.

Adding this here. Tech billionaire Bryan Johnson (who you may recall took regular blood transfusions from his teenage son) now Has a young woman he has recruited as his subject/girlfriend to also test out his reverse ageing hacks on

Her protocol starts the next time she bleeds. kate will open her eyes and…
+ spit in a tube for saliva
+ thermometer under her tongue
+ pee on a stick for hormones
+ breathe into a device for fuel usage
+ steps on scales for bone, muscle, fat
+ use a cuff for blood pressure
+ wears a helmet to scan her brain
+ scans her face
+ photographs her body
+ tests her reaction speed
+ grasps a device for grip strength
+ measures her vaginal PH
+ tastes strips w/ sweet, salty, sour, bitter
+ bathes in red light
+ uses lasers on her hair
+ stretches, walks, carries weights
+ showers and applies creams
+ …. It goes on until she crawls into bed. This is just a fraction of what she’ll do. She starts day 1 of her next menstrual cycle. We think this will happen July 13th.

I actually thought it was some random guy having to detail the agony of painful medical condition his gf has when I skim read it, not a regimen he is actually making her endure

How did you come across this one, Arabella, did it come up in your "recommended" feed?

On the jellyfish, it’s probably a reference to the ‘Immortal Jellyfish’ , one of the few animals known to be able to return to a juvenile state after reaching adulthood.

I'd be surprised if anyone didn't feel like that. My little brother saying "when I get little again and go back to playgroup" has always stuck with me, because who doesn't feel - silly as it is - that in some way we'll repeat being young again?

Most people don't feel their age, and don't nake decisions based on it. We reject other people telling us what's appropriate for our age. We still know what age we actually are, and that no one should abuse the power adults have over children.

Totally different from gender dysphoria, which is very real. That can be eased by accepting you are trans & not being ashamed of it. Being trans is not cosplay, denial or fantasy - it's just who someone is.

@TransParentlyAnnoyed, why do we all "know what age we actually are" but seemingly some people don't know what biological sex they are? Why is it ok to claim a gender identity which is different to your biological sex, but not a chrono identity which is different to your biological age?

These are just a bunch of assertions you're making. Slogans, effectively.

Got any arguments?

You... You're not serious, are you?

This seems like another autism thing.

Having a poke around there, nobody seems to be under any illusions as to their age. They're aware that they're adults with a desire to psychologically regress and play a role.

I'm all for adults doing what adults want to do. But if this goes the trans way and becomes "Let me into nursery with all the other kids right now or you're being transagephobic" then some hard boundaries will need setting swiftly to nip that in the bud.

If there was ever anyone in this world who needed his hard drive checked, it’s Stefoknee.

Stefonknee has written an autobiography. Here’s an Amazon review.

Poor little victim
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2024
The tragic true story of a married father of seven children who suddenly realised he was in actual fact a six year old girl. Obviously, a child of six cannot work and provide for a bunch of children so she was adopted by a kind couple who catered to her every need. Even letting her attend baseball games with middle aged men at which she would swill beer and generally enjoy herself in ways that typical six year old girls enjoy.

In a heartwarming message one of the author's seven children details the family’s side of the story and reveals that her daddy had attempted to force his children to participate in his kinky transvestism.

“I was 13 when you left,” the girl says. “There were days that if I didn’t want to paint your nails, you threatened to stop helping me with homework. You say that you couldn’t handle the fact that we filed a restraining order. People need to know you can’t get a restraining order for being of a different mindset. You were a physical threat to mom and the day you left, more than one of your children thought you were going to come back to harm us.”

Fucking hell.

That is dark. His poor family.

There are new permutations of identity transformation too, in line with the age thing.

There are now people who describe themselves as Bigender (though I'm not sure what difference there is with gender fluid)

(Pronounced By-gender, presumably, though it looks like Big Ender)

And there is the Rachel Dolezal thing with people being ethnically fluid

Can I sign up to go back to being my early 20s again (but with late-40s money, without the perimenopausal roller coaster ride of hell). I'd quite like to keep my early 20s soundtrack cos music was much better then as well.
