“You dont want kids? I said the same thing at your age. You’ll realize later.”
“You’re trans? You’re too young to know that. You’ll grow out of it.”
“You’re an atheist? You don’t actually disbelieve, you’re just mad at god. One day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess.”
“You’re a leftist? You’ll become more conservative eventually; every generation does when they come into contact with The Real World™️”
“You’re gay/ace/queer? You just havent met the right man/woman yet.”
If you say any of the above things give me your personal information so i can harm you
edit: the terfs found this post. Y’all fuckin KNOW a teenager saying “give me your personal information” is a joke. You’re literally just being vindictive to have something to say.
anywaysy crazy how u guys r aligning with people who like theocracy and homophobia and heteronormity just because you hate trans people. It’s almost like you, my fellow hoes, are really damn predictable.
Edit 2: i love how after that first edit terfs mysteriously stopped interacting

The religious argument that people can't possibly be trans because God cannot make mistakes has always been a weird one to me, because who's to say God didn't intend on making somebody trans?
My dad put it best; for some reason or another, God sometimes decides to give his children specific experiences, and being trans is an experience. He doesn't make mistakes, so being trans isn't a mistake. What is a mistake is forcing his children to think they are a mistake.

May you have a gentle holiday…
To everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. You are all valid in who you love or who you want to be. You all deserve unconditional love, acceptance and equality.
To women/girls, the disabled, folks of different races, and atheists,
I see you all and wish you all the best.
🖤❤️🩷🤎🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤍🩶🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I don't know who needs to hear this, but once and for fucking all:
My dudes. My brothers in the Spaghetti Monster. You don't have to "NO HOMO" on a trans girl's picture post. No one thinks you're gay for being attracted to a hot woman. It is stupid and hurtful to assert your straightness on a post about a trans woman's picture, as though being attracted made you gay. Just FYI.
If you don't want people to call you a bigot, maybe try not being a bigot?

Determining your parents limits
I had a discussion with @deservedgrace about this topic and would like more input. Parents will often say they’ll “love and support you no matter what” but as you gauge deeper, there are always limits or conditions. A lot of them will only accept what fits into their worldview especially if they’re evangelical. With my dad, he’ll say the usual spiel and there are a few things he conveniently leaves off the list such as being trans or an atheist. He’s cool with me being gay and having a boyfriend but has more questionable stuff he’s said about trans people. How do you determine the limits of your parent’s acceptance and their true views on things without outing yourself, so you know if it’s safe to come out?

Special revelation isn't special.
The Christian Bible is a fascinating piece of world literature. But the way evangelicals talk about it is just baffling.
They speak about the Bible as if it contains some sort of magical power. As if it has some special effect on people when they read it that no other piece of writing can produce.
The Bible is not magical. When people say it moved them like no other writing, it says, in a lot of cases, that they simply haven't read very much at all (no shame in this---elitism sucks). Sure, the Bible has moved me personally at times, but this experience wasn't unique; I'm an avid reader and have spent lots of time with world literature, religious texts, and philosophy. Encountering the human spirit through the written word as a very lonely person inspired me to study literature and philosophy in college. I approached the Bible and other writings with openness and even love.
But the Bible simply doesn't do what evangelicals say it does.
It doesn't reveal God to you any more than a beautiful poem might, or a sunset, or visiting a prehistoric ruin and feeling that deep resonance with humanity and the world around you.
So when evangelicals distinguish the Bible as some kind of "special revelation" as opposed to the "general revelation" of feeling awe and wonder at the world and human creativity, I just don't see what kind of point they're really making.
Surely, as their descriptor of "evangelical" implies, they hope that all people come to know God? And it would make sense that a God who wants people to know him would make himself equally accessible to all? But this is not actually what evangelicals believe. They believe that they have special access to God---that there is an in-group and an out-group. That there are God's chosen and those who repudiate God: the queers, the deviants, the non-whites, the sinners.
In actual conversations I've had with evangelicals, they pretty much expose this. If you just worship God, if you just go to church, if you just pick up the Bible with an open heart... Then you will be moved by The Truth, and you'll see that God made male and female, that America is a light upon a hill, that you were commanded by God to perform femininity because we assigned you female at birth.
But the Bible doesn't actually do this. Instead, it's both as powerful and powerless as any other piece of writing, and people will bring to it their own personal baggage.

I started thinking about Muslim women, which made me start thinking about transness and religion...
Now I'm hyper fixating on religious justification for transitioning, but have no idea how to start researching this... so if anyone's interested, please info-dump on me about religion in an LGBT+ friendly way💖💕
I'm perfectly open to discussions about any part of the LGBT+/MOGAI community, but my main focus with this post is transness.
This is the one time I'm using a dni!
If you're NOT friendly and supportive and you reply, I will block you. If you're anti-religion, this is not the post for you.

I just got prayed at in public and I gave the guy such an instinctive face of disgust and probably fear honestly that he apologized and told me to have a good day

It's really sad how the LGBT community is so loving and accepting of Islam and Muslims but they'll never receive the same treatment back. You can't have both.

Dear American Women, Queers and POC,
You may temporarily survive a few years if not in peace, in agony, squeezing the last drops of social justice from your neo-liberal capitalist electoral system. You are in a hostage situation between two capitalist choices. I won't blame you. But for how long? Women, Queers and People of color will truly never be free under the oppressive system that is capitalism. So how long do you plan to push further what is inevitable from the system you are voting for.
How further will you push till you are one with the ones that were imperialized by your oppressor. How long till you realize they have done more than you ever would How long till you know, you feed on their imperialized blood yet you will vote for their oppressor to save yourself. Are you just progressive because of the values of social justice, or selfishly, just because your rights are at stake. Do you find us, the imperialized bunch humans? If not... for how long.

Sent this to my super-religious family and said "I'm on here 17 times. Guess which ones!"
They weren't amused.

tales from pentecostal Christian summer camp
bruh I went to Jesus camp every summer through most of middle school. It was at this campground with dorms out in rural West Virginia in the early 2000s. Some wild stuff happened there. If you've ever seen the documentary Jesus Camp, the camp I went to was very similar. Except I experienced the Pentecostal Version.
We had like 3 chapel services a day. One main one after we ate dinner. At one of these evening services, the speaker was talking about gifts from the Holy Spirit, specifically speaking in tongues.
The speaker told a story about how he heard his brother speaking in tongues, and it was a religious experience for him, the speaker, because he (allegedly) looked up the words his bother kept saying only to find that he was saying "glory to God" or some shit in Greek. Obviously, this whole story was a fabrication. A lie.
Just the psychology of the whole situation is fascinating, though. This grown ass man thought it was a good idea to lie to a room full of kids. He must have known on some level that he was lying. Or that he was embellishing whatever had actually happened. The level of self-delusion and self-importance.
And then at the end of the sermon, they played songs and encouraged the kids to pray and to speak in tongues themselves if they were so moved by the Spirit. And a bunch of the kids DID. They would lie on the floor and mumble gibberish. Lay hands on other kids.
Maybe these kids were in some kind of trance or hypnotized. I'm sure a lot of them were just muttering nonsense to seem holy or cool; they could do it on command and it wasn't part of some altered psychological state. Even I tried doing it, knowing internally that it wasn't REAL. Like, I did question at the time whether I was just faking it; I didn't have a clue what the "real thing" was supposed to feel like, so I just gave myself the benefit of the doubt because if I was doing it, then it meant that I was Saved™. But yes, I knew that I was just mumbling nonsense and thinking it was cool that I had some kind of special power.
But holy fuck. Just the sheer amount of delusion in one space. I guarantee that most people participating in that event also knew they were being dishonest. So literally dozens of people all lying to each other to keep up this facade of spirituality and holiness. I wonder how many were knowingly lying and how many of them were convinced they were doing something special.
Like, it's one thing just to make utterances when emotional, and I'm sure that's what some people were doing. I can grant that some of those kids were probably feeling real feelings. But it's not supernatural in any way.
I just can't get over it. That I actually witnessed all this. I'm sure other people saw through it too?
