It honestly depresses me that more and more women are opting out of being women.

You can't opt out of biological sex. The thing that should be worrying is the terrifying increase in mental health issues that are driving people to think this gender-gnostic bullshit is a cure-all for their personal anxieties.

Weird, time-wise, it all aligns with the advent of social media and push for personal devices. I'm curious, 20 years from now, how many internet-identified personality disorders there are.

I think so. Though I read an article the other day that was already trying to pin the current youth generation's coming mental health problems on covid-related stress, and I just think they'll avoid the reality of internet damage for far too long, because it's the modern cirque, and trying to get society off their phones/online will be next to impossible.

It isn't an increase, it is self-diagnosis and the acceptance of such self-diagnoses that is the real problem. how many people run around posting, for all the world to see "I have anxiety", "I'm OCD", and my absolute fucking favorite, "I'm an introvert"...people who have never seen a mental health professional... yet the world just accepts it b/c if someone tells them to buck up and deal with things, you're a monster.

I commented on an AITA post where a teenage girl "came out" as non binary, and the OP laughed b/c the OP isn't a moron. I defended OP and well, you know what happened next.

Imagine if this level of encouragement was given to other psychic epidemics that impact young women, i.e. anorexia.

And then imagine once they literally begin starving to death, the legacy media wondering incredulously who was "murdering" all these women?

I can just see a doctor saying "look, you just have to accept her truth.." to a set of parents as their daughter starved to death, or cut herself repeatedly, or binged and purged......that would go well. /s

I agree that self-diagnosis is wrong, however, you can't self-diagnose as an introvert because introversion is not a mental illness.
