Please don't do that to people... nobody deserves to feel this way.

Ignoring the fact that this isn't actually a thing I or anyone can do, I think it would be really funny to give JK Rowling gender dysphoria actually.

I’d give Rowling empathy; imagine how crushing that would be.

¿Por qué no los dos?

That's not actually impossible.

There exists drugs which are called "empathogens", as in "generating empathy".

Psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, they all belong to that group.

I'm strongly of the opinion that if all hateful billionaires and other arseholes were made to get a little empathy forced down their throat, we'd be much better off.

Like the "pretty obvious when you think about it" accords.

I am pretty sure some famous people are famously into microdosing, but I think that’s besides the point—empathy is just knowing or imagining how someone else feels, sociopaths can imagine this just fine and use it in different ways

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

"pretty obvious when you think about it" accords.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Plot twist: Bowling already has dysphoria and the flipper zero had no effect.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

Take the dysphoria away and then give it back so she's acutely aware of it, in that case

As someone who is in the closet I agree

When you're stuck in the closet it feels horrible and everyone will react differently to having gender dysphoria
