The Id is the apocalyptic tempest that occurs during and after the moment of conception, even before consciousness begins, it sets in stone what will eventually become an inward struggle to maintain cognitive stasis for the rest of the individual’s human life.
It is the basic connection that the new human life has with humanity. Since the Id is formed at such early stages of fetal development, it is constructed haphazardly, it is primal, it is…instinctive. And in some instances society may even perceive it to be created faulty or even worse, immoral.
When this occurs society fails. People often claim that they have a right to their “opinion” but in truth, opinions are not opinions when they contradict facts; instead that is called a fallacy or ignorance.
This is NOT my attempt to lay out those facts. (The data is out there if there is interest.) Instead this is my rationale, based on the factual information that I have examined, on the links that exist between the Id, ego and superego.
From this point onward I am presupposing the reader has a fundamental understanding of both Sigmund Freud's structural model and the primary social model that has been created from lies, ignorance and hatred. And because I have neither the desire nor the inclination to cite references and sources, this will allow the reader to consider this paper as an educated hypothesis.
I am not a mistake.
Yes, my construct is different than what society considers the norm. My body, somewhere during the prenatal stages of pregnancy began to sever the link between mind, biology and anatomy; in layman’s terms, I am transgender.
That is part of my Id; by its definition that is a fact. Society could argue contrary to that point all day long but the argument is not there, as I mentioned earlier, opinions are no longer opinions when they are contrary to established truths. Being transgender is part of my personality which has been present from birth and it drives my desires and my actions every moment of every day.
Being transgender, as society stands now, causes an ongoing struggle between superego and the id, ego. This is the sole reason that the transgender suicide rates are so high and too, it is the reason why depression is found often accompanying the state of being transgender.
Even though the battle between the ego and the superego can be a lifelong war, it is the superego that is destined to lose. There is no amount of social pressure, religion or self-esteem that will prevent the superego from eventual total and unconditional surrender, less of course suicide or total self-destruction.
Superego is what the brain “thinks” is real verses what the ego, and what the brain “knows” is real. Eventually there must be reconciliation between the two and at the moment this happens the brain will discard every shred of religious dogma, parental bias and perceived social stigmas and surrender to what is absolute, personal truth.
Sadly not everyone will be left standing when the battle concludes; for those that cannot reconcile the societal and religious lies with what is real, they will become casualties of the war and for those lost souls we have established a day of remembrance.
Your brain is your reality; it has many weapons at its disposal to either attain peace or utter destruction. As the years pass and you continually ignore the needs of the id and ego, the more the brain adds to its arsenal. Porn, fetishes, drugs and even crime all become fair-game for our ego and what follows can lead to sexual dysfunction, disease, AIDS, incarceration and yes ultimately suicide.
There has never been, nor will there ever be, a cure for the id. (Less of course eugenics.) And even then with the often random occurrence of being transgender (even within nature) eugenics would offer little help for nixing that part of the id.
So what then, is the answer? If the id cannot be contained the ego will continue to use all of the mind’s massive armory to attain cognitive stasis. Following these facts there is only one logical conclusion to spiritual, emotional and even intellectual peace. The superego must be overwhelmed and conquered; to do this it must begin with the parents, continue with education until the last remaining Neanderthals of society disappears into the abyss.
We are not a mistake; we are real, yes, the individual transgender man or woman may feel as such but in reality we are just like all other human beings on this planet; we are lost, trying desperately to overcome the societal induced superego.
It is not, as some may believe, an easy obstacle to overcome; I will not live to see the outcome but from personal observations made over the course of my life I have come to the conclusion that society will evolve to the point where superego, in relation to the LGBT will be a thing of the past.
And they too will come to the conclusion that we, like everyone else on the planet, are human beings.
