How do you know that?

Thatā€™s not enough @anon98519533 If someone wants a change of their DNA, you should support them.

Would it fix your problems is my thinking?

Taking care of the family and having a job is more difficult than doing nothing imo

You are WRONG @anon51414962 .
Who FORCES you to work?
You can always have the option NOT to work.
Also, my parents take care of themselves.
NO NEED to get married.
How about taking the EASIER path?
I want the EASIER path, the MORE COMFORTABLE one.

That is the crux of the matter. The problems arenā€™t going to go away even if gene therapy could transform him into a single woman. Thereā€™s a fair chance his symptoms would reduce with a low therapeutic dose of medication.

You hit the nail on the head! I think at times we all wish something elseā€¦that the grass is greener somewhere elseā€¦Iā€™m proud of me and thatā€™s saying somethingā€¦I bust my ass everyday and Iā€™m unable to be on ā€œthe bestā€ med regimen

I think if @Chess24 wanted to physically change sex Iā€™d have much sympathy for that position. However he claims heā€™s not transsexual. Even if he was transsexual SRS wouldnā€™t cure his schizophrenia. The best hope for being more well is medication .

The thing is by tomorrow or the day after that @Chess24 will have flitted on to some new obsession. This seems to be a product of his uncontrolled illness.

I realize that now. However, it made me self reflect, and get my act together. Iā€™ve been through so much but without medsā€¦he prolly shouldnā€™t be on site. Weā€™re trying to support those trying to manage life with meds and compliance with healthcare providers. Those thatare incapable of contributing due to not being actively working through their illness prolly donā€™t belong. Itā€™s like you arenā€™t allowed to speak at an AA meeting if youā€™ve had a drink that dayā€¦

Some people do seem to manage without medication but @Chess24 behaviour is very erratic. I donā€™t think we should cut off people like him .He needs help and support as much as anyone else.

It can be frustrating to see someone who is not doing well off meds , but as a group we can do our best to try and make that person see why taking meds might be the best option.

Hmmm, do the risks of him triggering someone outweigh the rewards other members receive? How can you help someone who is against meds? How can a sz manage without? Meds are horrible for my heart, but yet I take what I can to be the best I can possibly beā€¦

I can see both sides. Maybe there should be a special place for those to post. A happy medium

If he was actively encouraging people to come off meds it would be a different story.

hear hear! Sometimes I wish i were a man. I am not always comfortable being a woman. I hate makeup and high heels and even sometimes want to cut my hair short. I like feminine clothes though - like skirts, but long ones - I hate showing my body off to men except my husband.

So no, its not easier being a woman. Think of menstruation and pregnancy and sore boobs and menopause and the list goes onā€¦

So be happy to be yourself the way you were created. :slight_smile:
