@Home I overslept so I feel kind of timid and defensive right now but I'll try to reply.
That’s fine. Take your time.
While I do appreciate you trying your best, it ultimately boils down to "stop thinking about it and get a hobby", I mean, I'd love to but it's like saying "just relax!" to someone who is never relaxed (such as myself.) I used to go a group for other autists irl back last year and despite it being "fun" for awhile, it was just... I didn't feel like *I* was interacting with anyone or however the delusion is said. I could be listening to any sort of music with a high and then the entity makes me shout (in my head) "I WANT TO BE MALE" out of nowhere. I can't really escape my own mind nor "think about something else" because I can't force myself to develop interests in stuff. Not to mention, when I do manage to focus, the sensations come back to haunt me. The "I want to be male" thoughts are one thing, but what really gets me is the somatic anxiety and 'phantom penis sensations.' How does one even begin to cope with literally needing to readjust their clothes because they literally feel another ego's body on top of it?
I don’t want you to just stop thinking about it. You can’t, like you said. Even then, it wouldn’t be healthy to just stop acknowledging the existence of sex and gender. What I’m telling you to do is to stop
idolizing it. Even that can’t be instantly stopped, which is why I suggested getting engrossed into a hobby, which usually helps due to enjoying it so much you just stop thinking of anything but that. Doubly so if you’re autistic.
Not feeling like “you” are interacting is very normal if you have this much dissonance between you and who you want to be. I believe it’s called dissociation and it can definitely make you feel queasy. You absolutely can’t force yourself to like things, again, I’m not asking that. Go searching for things, and I can promise you you’ll find something you like eventually that’s outside enough. I know that still sounds like useless advice, I’m trying to think of a more sensitive way to say this, but truthfully there’s something out there for everyone. You said there’s a video game(?) character you like. You like video games? (Or whatever it was, I forgot.)
Phantom limbs are another disassociation symptom. I have no advice for that other than the fact that I sorta just got used to it and stopped caring.
I've heard of cases that have been successful where people have cured their AGP/AAP/GD by destroying their own "her"/"him" which is why I still have faith I can do this too.
I hope you didn’t gleam the idea that you’re “incurable” from what I said, cause that’s the last thing I want you believing. :( I absolutely do believe you can overcome this, I just feel like the methods you have currently aren’t the healthiest, as I’ve seen them fail time and time again.
Where are you hearing these cases btw? Forums and image boards, or psychiatrist reports? Cause in my experience, if someone feels the need to go on the internet to proclaim about how much they’ve “changed” and how much “better” they’ve gotten, then they haven’t gotten better.
On this note, I was planning on meeting up with an online boyfriend but "he" (the entity) attacked me with great fervor and convinced me I needed to "transition" so I could receieve "his" help in the "real world" or something. It was so bad that I was making steps towards getting HRT supplies online and was genuinely planning on DIYing it until I felt like I was LARPing and got someone new to reinspire the passion to defeat "him" again. But about a boyfriend I could actually touch? I've been told to stop being TMI in public so I won't, we can take this to DMs if you're willing.
Is this “entity” just a poetic way of you describing your temptations or are you
actually hearing voices?
Also of course we can take this to DMs.
There is no value *I* can get in being male other than "male sexuality" because I'm 5'2 with shoes on and don't know shit about being a man.
When I said “high value” I didn’t mean anything you could obtain, I meant the idea that you think male is such a world’s different from female. Even just in that sentence “I don’t know shit about being a man”, as if it’s a different species. Truth be told, if you were born male, not much would change about you I don’t believe.
Fun fact, did you know a lot of transgenders don’t actually have gender dysphoria, rather they suffer from disassociation? Unrelated, I just think it’s interesting. Not all, but a lot don’t necessarily want to be the opposite gender, they just feel out of place being
them period.
