      Arthur Chu Retweeted Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li

      One of the earliest cases of what we would probably today diagnose as "gender dysphoria" in the psychological literature is Judge Daniel Schreber in the case studies of Sigmund Freud, who believed a conspiracy was beaming "divine rays" into his head to turn him into a womanhttps://twitter.com/perdricof/status/1380366126429974530 …

      Replying to @perdricof @arthur_affect
      "all these strange desires have been implanted in my head by the sissy hypnosis! that's why i can't stop thinking about being turned into a boy and getting absolutely railed by a gay daddy! this indicates nothing deeper about myself,"

      Schreber was... complicated, and fucked up (a lot of people peg him as an early case of paranoid schizophrenia, although he stayed surprisingly lucid throughout his multiple institutionalizations) He ended up developing this whole bizarre cosmology around his girlfeels

      Like that God and the angels and the souls of the dead up in Heaven were puppeting everyone on Earth by means of these "divine rays" to experiment on them and steer the course of history to unknown ends And, specifically, to make him suddenly want to experience sex as a woman

      Daniel Schreber's writings are a memorable part enough of Freud's analysis that they inspired the creators of the movie Dark City, who named Kiefer Sutherland's mentor character "Dr. Daniel Schreber" in his honor But they left all the trans stuff out of the movie

      Dark City, of course, came out the year before The Matrix and has been cited as an influence on it The Wachowski Sisters, of course, being proof that all stories about some surreal neo-noir cityscape built on an illusion manipulated by dark forces are actually about being trans

      Anyway Freud's analysis of Judge Daniel Paul Schreber's memoir about his "nervous illness" blamed all the trans stuff on his dad, Dr. Daniel Gottlob Moritz Schreber (who went by the name "Moritz")

          Moritz Schreber was a colorful character who was known for having very strong views on childrearing and protecting boys from the vice of self-abuse He made his sons go out and work in the garden and do repetitive military-style exercises until they were too tired to jerk off

          While I do not believe that being explicitly drilled by your father to channel your erotic stirrings into repetitive-motion exercises involving operating various rhythmic machines to prevent you actually masturbating could "make you crazy", it probably didn't help anythingpic.twitter.com/AWAluTVAYf

          Nor could the "cold-water cure" for "temperamental ailments" (basically giving you an ice bath every time you gave your dad lip) or stuff like literally strapping his kid into a harness to correct his slouching posture (Freud had a field day with the symbolism of that one)

          Anyway the idea that having an asshole dad "makes you trans" is probably even more damaging than the idea that watching porn "makes you trans" However, I do think it's likely if Daniel Schreber were raised by someone other than Moritz he might've been less fucked up about it

          In any case, when I first heard this story I really, really wanted Moritz Schreber to be the namesake of Moritz Stiefel in Spring Awakening -- it'd be the most perfect thematic link if it were -- but there doesn't seem to be any evidence for it
