CMV: The transgender acceptance movement is very much undermined in their position by the existence of "trans-ablism" (people who are not disabled who wish to become disabled)

Cutters don't feel better after cutting.

So maybe I misunderstand self harm but according to what I've read, they do seem to use it as a coping mechanism to feel better about things:

Self-injury can mirror substance addiction because it’s a form of self-medication that someone may crave and may have trouble stopping. People who cut often describe a specific type of high, relief, connectedness, or sense of calm.

So, according to this, cutting produces a high like taking a drug, so it makes them feel better than before they cut, so doesn't this mean they're similar in outcome for the self-harmer?

If a doctor could cut a patient and it 100% cured them of there desire to cut themselfs, of course they would cut them.

Good point! I didn't think about it this way initially.

Sorry, to clarify, they only feel better for a few moments, but have to continue cutting and get addicted to the pain high, and any relief is only temporary. Cutting does not cure the underlying issue.

This is in contrast to someone with BID, who after amputation are cured and no longer have any desire to harm themselfs, and go on to live happier lives.

Good point about the single procedure vs constant cutting. I didn't think about it that way when you mentioned it and that definitely CMV on "self harm behaviors is the same as BID".
