well descartes is long dead and if you’re summarising his idea correctly he must’ve be fucking stupid
so what if changing your body doesn’t make it more useful, as long as it makes you happier or more fulfilled it’s fine

okay so what?
you shouldn’t base your choice of whether to change your body or not on someone who’s been dead for like 350 years
You have to live your entire life with your body. if you’re discontent with your body the entire time, that will be harmful to both your physical and mental health.

if you feel sad, just feel happy
- big thinky man guy from a while ago
Counterpoint, people percieve and treat you differently based on your body.
What about appeal to onesself though?
What about being happy with yourself?
“Why are you so sad? Just be happy!”
Yeah, it sure is fun to live, but it’s because of the things that I strive for.
sorry but this is very tone deaf even if its coming from a good place
you dont need to have a ‘perfect body’ but that doesnt change the fact it can and will affect you mentally if it is very wrong. ie. with gender dysphoria, trying to just be happy regardless is going to cause more harm than good (commonly called repression/masking in this case)
you can change your body, a lot actually, and telling people they should just be happy if they’re being severally impacted mentally by their appearance is harmful especially when there is options to fix it
your wording makes it clear youre not the kind of person who’d consider these things (“there is no need to feel anything but survival instincts with your body”) and thats a harmful mindset overall but ive already said what i wanted

ok guys get me up to speed whats happening now
ur onto nothing 
anyway, forums isn’t a good place for this
if u have issues talk to someone in your life
either you do something about it and talk to someone / a therapist / hit the gym / do T / commit crime / whatever, or you keep posting to internet strangers and stay miserable, simple as that

bodies are like deepwoken races
you either start with a good one 
or you pay for a good one 
as someone who suffers from it, trust me: you would
why the fuck is this actually a valid point
I got dealt a finger not a hand

just mute it if you dont wanna see it
also what may be someone’s most hated race may be the very race another guy’s spending $100 to roll
