Hi everyone. I just wanted to start a little discussion about something that I see brought up fairly frequently. Referencing your fem persona in third-person, or referring to yourself/your personality as two separate people with separate interests. I understand that everyone's experiences are different, and people deal with things differently, so I was hoping to get some input on this. I'm not sure if this is one of those overly-covered topics, but I couldn't find anything with the search.
So here goes. It seems to me like it completely goes against the idea of accepting yourself for who you are as a whole. It seems a little dangerous to me, allowing yourself to blame things on this fictional other person, instead of reconciling the fact that we're complex people with diverse interests.
Basically, if you use your created persona as a way of justifying desires and actions that you aren't comfortable with, doesn't that run the risk of getting out of control and creating actual multiple personalities?
It this just an evasive coping mechanism, or is this actually a healthy way of dealing with transgenderism? I worry that it may do more harm than good.
I'd love to hear opinions and open a general discussion on this. I'm very curious.
Thanks for reading my musings
