I just... Is it just me, or is it insanely creepy to change your appearance to the point there is almost no trace of, well, yourself left?

I just don't understand how they can deal with such a huge change. Isn't it disturbing? How do you not go mad? Aaaah, body modifications creep me out in general but this is on a whole another level. Tell me again how this is supposed to alleviate issues with identity. When there is such a distinction between "I am" and "I was", so much that the past stops being "I" even. How do they call it, a "dead name"? A dead self. How does this help identity issues??!

Sorry I'm very upset, this strikes a very personal chord. But you know what's wrong in my life right now? I can't reconcile my child self with my adult self. And I mean I am not able to, because I have partial amnesia. From 0 to 5 years old, I got nothing. I am told I was this and that way, and that I completely changed around 5, and I don't remember.

Guess where my identity and dissociative issues come from? Yeah, that's right. From whatever trauma I went through, that I erased from my mind. I won't ever get better as long as I don't remember. I know that from deep within myself. So this?

Whatever starts the gender dysphoria, enabling the symptoms should not even be considered. It is not considered in any other mental illness. These people will never get better as long as they keep their past and present self cut off from each other, and everyone is encouraging that with glee.

Most people don't remember much if anything at all from the age of 0-5, though. The older you get the more you become unable to consciously access earlier memories. That's not a form of amnesia, that's just how the brain works. Same with how it become harder to recall information the longer it goes unaccessed.

Yeah, I know that's how most people work. That's not the case for me, I have a freakishly good memory. That blank isn't recent either.

I know you're looking out for me to make sure I don't make a mountain out of a molehill, and that's nice of you. But I do have reasons to believe it has significance

Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up. I'm not actually willing to get that personal haha

I'm not sure if that's accurate... 0-2 years old, definitely. But 3-5 years old it becomes much easier to actually retain memories. That is what I was taught in college anyway.

Worth mentioning though, LGB people have an elevated risk for going through childhood trauma, so that might be what she is referring to. But it's hard to tell for sure online.
