  • I used to have that problem. It was an ongoing problem for pretty much my entire teenage years through the first half of my twenties. Then I started estrogen and suddenly I was crying basically every day, even at dumb stuff. That took a couple of years to even out, and now I cry easily, but not at the drop of a hat.

    I don’t know if an androgenic endocrine profile standing between me and the ability to cry, or if becoming myself unlocked that ability. Either way, being able to cry when I need to has been incredibly cathartic.








  • Oh you missunderstand what I mean. I don’t see much value in making a strong distinction between someone who personally, sexually abused minors, and someone who consumed CSAM. Both sets of people are monsters regardless of their motivation.

    Someone who is attracted to children but isn’t consuming CSAM or otherwise harming anyone is just a person who needs help with their terrible affliction before they do hurt someone. That is a distinction worth making.
