Hi Artemis, this is the first video of yours that I have watched, although I think I may check out some of your other videos as well. As a trans man, I think that it is incredibly important to acknowledge how issues like alexithymia and body dysmorphia may interfere with the ways in which individuals may experience themselves and concepts around gender identity. I feel like I can relate to the situation you experienced with your 0:11 possible alexithymia preventing you from identifying feelings you may have had about your gender. Personally, I struggled with feelings of body dysmorphia due to sexual trauma I experienced and it was not until I was able to work through and resolve some of those issues that I was able to realized how I felt about my gender. Based on my own experience, I can certainly understand how someone may experience the opposite as well, experiencing a sense of gender confusion due to unresolved trauma. Unfortunately, I think this kind of discussion can also contribute to ableist beliefs around whether or not those on the autistic spectrum are capable of making decisions for themselves about their own bodies. Similarly, this relates to the transphobic idea that trans people are simply confused and need something like conversion therapy to "correct" how we may feel about our bodies, rather than allowing us the autonomy to make our own decisions. I think this prespective deserves to be addressed and debunked in your video. Other than that, I found your videos to be an interesting exploration of the topic. Thanks for taking the time to read my comment!

Thank you for taking the time to comment your perspective, I greatly appreciate it! I have pinned your comment to the top of the video so that other people can benefit from your speaking up, because I'm sure this is a thought others have as well. I agree with you that, like so many other categories of people, they can be treated very black and white about their characteristics or abilities; it's why I mentioned thinking about the categories as a venn diagram with watercolor edges, and each category as a spectrum. It is, unfortunately, a common state of human thought to assume a low resolution of that which we do not understand or know, and I believe one of the best ways to cure that is to speak empathetically to foster that curiosity in others. I also agree with you that there is a fine line between conversion therapy, and beneficial treatment for the individual and their unique details; it's why I mentioned that talk therapy works for many, but not all. I believe that parsing what is a potential sex disorder that needs medical intervention from a simple lack of insight or even trauma is something that the psychotherapy field is still discerning, in tandem with the biological realities of sex. You may find my musings about "physiochemical sex" in my "From Meta to Molecular" video interesting, on that note of other potential ways to define sex. Thank you again for your engagement; cheers! 🍻

@T-Time with Artemis My apologies for the seemingly random timestamp in my comment. While I was trying to be articulate, I'm not entirely sure how it got added and I wasn't able to remove it. In response to your reply, I think when it comes to trans discourse, there is a difficulty acknowledging nuance because it is generally considered a debate in which our rights are on the line. This can make it hard to empathize with the other side without it feeling like one is risking their own personhood. While I believe this exists to some extent on both sides, it can be harmful even within the trans community. From this prespective, there's no room for thoughtful analysis and critique, so thank you for challenging some of that mindset. Knowledge is crucial for adults to make the best decisions they can about their bodies and if the community is unable to discuss complicated nuance on the topic, then we fail to be an accurate resource. Additionally, as you mentioned in your comment, psychotherapy is still exploring notions around sex and gender, as well as how trans people should be treated, so there is plenty that we are still learning.

Ah yes, haha, thank you for the clarification about the timestamp. I agree with you, great observations. I even did a couple of videos about that concept of people feeling threatened by the discourse: "Don't get woke, wake up! The psychology of being offended" and "Troubles and considerations in questioning and gatekeeping the transgender community". Cheers my friend! 🍻

Ellie! I'm so glad you were able to get to make a comment; I was able to see the first few lines of your comment about PTSD/CPTSD and it looked like it was going to be spectacular insight, but even KZitem wouldn't allow me to see the full comment they blocked, which was so upsetting to me. I tried looking for another way to contact you but failed. Perhaps you could post it without putting asterisks in the midst of words (youtube automatically sees this as something to censor because someone else is indicating it is censorable), or any links (which are seen as potential spamming)? I would love to hear it.

This most interesting analysis and presentation is deserving of far more views, likes and subscriptions (so I have done all 3!). Could it be that things such as childhood trauma, combined with syndromes like autism might be the very reason for bringing about gender dysphoria in the first place (particularly at the onset of puberty), rather than 'gender dysphoria' being an actual syndrome in and of itself?

Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging words, as well as your musing! Yes, I do believe that there is a portion of people who experience gender dysphoria that fall into the category you describe. There are also many other social/cultural mechanisms that I've uncovered that seem to lead to an outcome of gender dysphoria. Like other conditions, however (diabetes type one and two, for example), some are environmentally/psychologically triggered, while others seem to be genetic mutations. I offer a theory for the genetic origin of gender dysphoria buried in my "Going meta and molecular" video, but I'll be doing a shorter video that focuses on that topic specifically. Again, thank you for your comment and I look forward to more engagement with you; cheers 🍻!

@@t-timewithartemis4174Thanks for your reply Artemis, I have 'Going meta and molecular' playing now. You are doing important work defining a (perhap$ even deliberately) blurred landscape. Your theories, if allowed to proliferate, could save many young people from mistakenly making disastrous life-changing decisions. You keep making 'em, and I'll keep watching 'em, and hopefully you'll gain traction to the point millions more will too!... _to which end, have you considered reaching out to some of the more conservative channels on this site? Perhaps they could seem anathema to you now, but you might find your position has more alignment with theirs than previously thought. Collaborations with people such as Candace, Matt Walsh/Daily Wire, even JP and the likes would certainly put your ideas in front of a much larger audience._ I certainly believe you have the calibre of thought to bring something noteworthy to their tables, anyway!

@lefroy1 It did not appear on my end, I'm sorry to say. KZitem has a feature that automatically censors comments if if violates certain parameters (URL links, key words, etc), which to my experience harms quality content sometimes. When I write lengthy comments, I copy it into a notebook before posting, just in case, since I've had this happen to me before, too. I hope you can get it posted, and thank you for the effort!

The Vegan diet that Elliot was on also started to masculise him. There are pictures of him getting more masculine on the vegan diet. He may have been trans all along anyway, but the vegan diet didn't help. He got more masculine on it. Lack of cholesterol messes up hormones. That's why a lot of vegan children look androgynous

@siljedarkeyes ah, I see what you're saying. There is a name for an autist's ability to "pretend" that they're "normal"- it's called "masking". Essentially, it's acting. Just because they have trouble with emotions doesn't mean they cannot learn to behave as though they don't. I'm not saying that I believe Page to be autistic, I'm simply saying that others have suggested and am explaining how it's possible.

Yeah if you actually have autism. People keep claiming they have that, but it is easy to say that, there is another thing to have to actually have it. I am an introvert . It is very difficult for me to be around a big crowd of people, but I never use that as an excuse, I just try my best no matter how hard. And try to take a breather if I can
