that site is a great resource! Agreed on the cluster B PD's being so prevalent in TIMs/TIFs. Everyone lands on the narcissism components of trans, but holy shit are there a ton of Borderlines in the mix as well (victimhood, unstable identity, self-harm, etc.)

Personality disorders, yes those are extremely resistant. Bipolar people tend to go off meds frequently and without telling, BUT the meds do work wonders if taken and there are no meds for personality disorders, not really. So I'd say it's a little unfair to put bipolar at equal risk... of course I'm biased, as have a lovely family member with it who is a joy to be around.

Oh! Another angle on this, about 10% to 19% of untreated bipolar people will commit suicide at some point, which is dreadful, and far higher than the actual numbers for trans people. Yet the bipolar population doesn't go around trying to take rights away from people because otherwise they might commit suicide.

Anyway, outofthefog is a great website, has been very helpful to me in the past!
