Was Freud right? Is anatomy destiny?

[OddBeMe]

Complete quote: “The excremental is all too intimately and inseparably bound up with the sexual; the position of the genitals— inter urinas et faeces—remains the decisive and unchangeable factor. One might say here, varying a well-known saying of the great Napoleon: Anatomy is destiny” (Strachey, 1912).

Funny how Freud is largely pushed aside, probably for good reason, but we keep quoting him.

Anatomy is not destiny, tho it is "inescapable" in some ways. But many things are inescapable, just parts of life, that don't make them anywhere so profound or ordained as "destiny." Like ur eye color is inescapable, even more so than ur genitals in some ways. U can't change ur eye color. Doesn't mean ur destiny is intrinsically different than someone with different eye color tho. 👀 lol

I could change my eye color with contacts. Is that different than the tranny issue?

You can't change your eye color, even if u cover them w tattoo that just covers. Contacts just cover, not change. But u can actually change ur genitals w surgery. So that's why I say they're more escapable in some ways, and that would make those two things (wearing contacts vs getting lower surgery) different. Besides ofc that most people wear contacts just for fun, while most people get lower surgery for their own health.

Now we’re talking about the essence of change. To everyone else my eye color has changed.

And scientifically, color doesn’t even exist. So…

Oh okay, so what is ur question then? Wht are u confused about?

[Sevenpointfive]
