my guy i’m the anon again, PLEASE say more about the trans experience in relation to this divine feminine bs

I LOVE YOU. I'm gonna structure this post around a couple of examples because these days I struggle with making a post out of nothing.

A trans witch rants about the divine feminine

So first of all I saw a tiktok awhile ago about how “the feminine energy lives by the moon’s cycle, track your cycles with the moon’s to become more in tune with yourself” and that’s great but it's also based on y'know, only women having a uterus. The idea that menstruation is an inherently feminine thing only women experience has kept me from receiving medical care that I desperately needed years ago. I’m going to start walking with a cane soon because I likely have a serious untreated condition and I cannot emphasize this enough, trying to get medical care as a trans person is terrifying. This is because of the lack of information. This is because of the sex/gender binary and assumptions around it.

Someone else on social media was actually asking me about my experiences and opinions as a trans person (which you are all welcome to do btw) more recently and brought up the divine feminine. They explained they believe women are more based in the spiritual realm where men are more based in the physical realm and this makes men visual and logical. They asked how I think trans people fit into that, and if I feel I'm more visual/logical. I thought to myself, no I don't think we fit into it because all of that is made up. Besides all the inherent awful and honestly misogynistic aspects to what they said, it upset me. I hate the idea that men are logical and women are emotional. I'm emotional. I'm nurturing. Sometimes it makes me dysphoric, but I don't strive for what society wants or a cis ideal of manhood so I go on the way I am and like to be.

I'm upset with the concept of the divine feminine obviously because it can be misogynistic and of course because it can take people down the alt right pipeline, but I'm also upset because it reminds me most of the world doesn't and (without trying very very hard) can't view the world the way I do. It doesn't see the way the sex/gender binary is made up and the harm it does. It doesn't see transphobia and especially the more subtle ways it manifests. It doesn't know how ideas that are "common sense" and all around us hurt me and my community.

Cis people don't see any of this and it makes me sad and angry and the divine feminine just reminds me of that as well as my usual frustrations with people not critically thinking about the ideas they take in. These ideas feed on people because they sound good at a glance. There’s probably a version of all this that IS good and could even be useful to trans people, but I don’t know what it is. Every version makes assumptions that the gender binary/gender roles makes. Even the people insisting that the “real” divine masculine/feminine concepts aren’t so bad have spat some stuff I take a lot of issue with as a trans person. So I don’t know what this lovely, useful version would be. Maybe I’ll find it eventually. 

It was very nice to get this off my chest, thank you. That first big paragraph was actually part of something that's been sitting in my drafts. I didn't put the whole thing here, but I think I was able to share enough that I can delete it now. Thanks for that. Also! I suppose I’ll say it once more just cause, since I’ve opened that can of worms, you guys are more than welcome to ask me about being trans 💙💕🤍💕💙

"The New Revelation: Arthur Conan Doyle's Visionary Quest into the Mysteries of the Beyond"

In "The New Revelation," Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, best known for his iconic detective tales, takes an audacious leap into the realm of the supernatural and spiritual exploration. Published in 1918, amidst the backdrop of World War I, Doyle's departure from the familiar terrain of Sherlock Holmes marks a profound shift in his literary endeavors. The narrative unfolds as a thought-provoking treatise on spiritualism, where Doyle invites readers on a journey beyond the veil of the tangible world. This visionary work is an earnest attempt to reconcile the mysteries of life, death, and the existence of an afterlife.

The author presents a compelling case for the existence of a new revelation, one that transcends traditional religious doctrines and offers a glimpse into the metaphysical. Drawing on personal experiences, anecdotes, and an array of paranormal phenomena, Doyle weaves a narrative that challenges conventional skepticism and beckons readers to consider the possibility of a divine connection. His exploration into automatic writing, mediumship, and encounters with spirits propels the reader into a realm where the boundaries between the corporeal and the ethereal blur.

Doyle's prose is impassioned, and his sincerity in grappling with profound existential questions is palpable. He engages with the subject matter not as a detached observer but as a seeker of truth, infusing the text with a sense of urgency and conviction. The narrative is not without its controversies, as Doyle confronts skepticism and critics head-on, defending his belief in spiritualism with unwavering resolve.

"The New Revelation" serves as a captivating intersection of spirituality, philosophy, and the unexplored corners of the human psyche. While the work may not be embraced universally, its impact lies in its ability to spark introspection and foster a dialogue about the mysteries that continue to elude our comprehension. Whether one approaches this text as a believer or a skeptic, Doyle's venture into the metaphysical is undeniably a testament to the versatility and intellectual curiosity of one of literature's most celebrated minds.

In conclusion, "The New Revelation" stands as a bold departure from the detective fiction that defined Arthur Conan Doyle's career. This foray into the unknown provides readers with a unique perspective on spirituality, challenging preconceived notions and beckoning them to contemplate the enigmatic aspects of existence. Doyle's exploration of the supernatural serves as a testament to the boundless curiosity of the human spirit and its ceaseless quest for understanding in the face of life's greatest mysteries.

"The New Revelation," by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is available in Amazon in paperback 10.99$ and hardcover 17.99$ editions.

hey, i’ve been thinking about it… and the erotic? kind of inherently spiritual

[muffled screaming into my hands]

After my Matt Graham phase as a kid I didn't pay attention to celebrities, didn't care who they were, didn't recognize the name of most of them.

But I have come to love Niel Gaiman, not because I've read any of his books, or have watched any of his shows, but because he is funny and kind on Tumblr, and makes his way onto my dash without me trying to find him.

I now have one (1) celebrity I am a fan of

Christmas: Religion vs. Tradition

Christmas. A time for gift giving, decorating your home, baking cookies, watching elf for the 500th time, an excuse to wear pajamas with cats in stockings on them, snow that is so beautiful.....until you go outside. The time of year where you can walk into most stores and it looks like Santa Claus took a shit in there. I personally, ADORE Christmas. This year, it is hard for me. I had a really rough 2021 and this year I am pretty much grieving someone no longer in my life whom shares this love of Christmas with me. I don't love this holiday because I am religious but because of the traditions. It includes everything I do whenever it's not the holidays. And yes, I watch Elf year round. But, me being me, I started thinking. Thinking about the meaning of Christmas. Not what it means for me but what it means for others. So, I hopped on what all Americans LOVE, google.

I started simple and typed in "What is Christmas about?" it stated, "Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world." I mean yes, that is where it all started. But, what about those of us who are not religious and still celebrate? I personally do not participate in organized religion. No hate. I have my own beliefs. According to a website I found, gallop, 85% of America celebrates Christmas. So a majority of us do but how many of that percentage celebrates for religious reasons? Sorry in advance for all the numbers but, I found a graph from pewrese called "Do you celebrate Christmas?" 92% of people they asked do celebrate, 7% said no and 1% sometimes. 51% celebrate it as a religious holiday and 32% said it is a cultural holiday.

So, it was time to interview my friends and family.....and random people at walmart. Summing up answers, when I asked what their favorite part of Christmas was they answered, seeing others faces when they open gifts, cooking and eating xmas dinner, spending time with family, giving, xmas movies, xmas music and baking. The general consensus of the question, what does christmas mean to you was giving to others and spending time with family.

A woman I talked with at Walmart, whom asked to remain anonymous, told me she did not celebrate Christmas as a kid because of the religion part of it. It was disheartening for her because when she would be at school all the other kids would be talking about how they were decorating their trees at home, listening to xmas music, participating in the Christmas spirit week. Going back to school after break just to hear about all the presents they got and reminder to her that she didn't get any. Although her parents robbed that from her as a child, she now celebrates with her family and has made traditions of her own with her children.

Now I only spoke with two women who celebrates Christmas as a religious holiday. One did not want to speak to much on it and the other woman, Kate, who identifies with Christianity, was very open and honest. This was a thorough conversation and one I really enjoyed having. I knew a majority of my conversations were going to be on the side of not celebrating Christmas for religious reasons. So, I want to give her the spotlight here and share our full conversation.

I first asked her "What does Christmas mean to you?" Kate - "It is about family and taking in those special moments. It is not about getting a bunch of presents. For me personally, it's a spiritual holiday. It is a time of reflection. This year my family went through a lot of trials and god carried us through everything. That time of reflection is really what Christmas is for me"

Although I do know Kate on a personal level I was pleasantly surprised by her next answer and I was a little nervous to ask, "In your opinion can Christmas only be celebrated as a religious holiday and why?" She told me "No. Many people have their own traditions for celebrating Christmas. I used to think you shouldn't celebrate if you didn't know the real meaning behind it. But as i grew up and had children I realized you get to celebrate whatever and however you want. I mean we all convince our children that there is this holly, jolly man who comes down the chimney to leave our children presents. I don't think people shouldn't be able to celebrate Christmas because they don't believe in God. I am not allowed to sit back and make that judgement on others for celebrating even if they aren't religious. It is a holiday where some people may not be religious but may look at it as a time to spend with family. However, I do disagree with the fact that people don't believe in God and don't think this holiday is to celebrate him."

If I am going to be honest, I re-read and re-read this to see where I was going with this. I don't think Christmas is really a question of being religious or not. I think it is made out to be that way by many people. I realize though, I was insecure about the fact that I love Christmas so much but I am not religious. But clearly it is not just me. I interviewed eight people and out of those two were religious and even they said they don't think you shouldn't celebrate Christmas if you're not religious. There's something to be said about having a day dedicated to traditions and family time. My bond is not with God. My bond is with my loved ones and I cherish these times and that's why I love Christmas. Also, I do love a good excuse to have a festive martini. With that being said, stay warm and have a Merry Christmas!

Drink every time you read Christmas.

(late post sorry)

having mixed feelings about church culture again tonight ladies

These days I'm usually too senior to be making Excel exhibits myself but every time I'm asked to, I go all out, including and especially, manually copying curly quotes and apostrophes for every single place that needs them 💯

sorry but the way people talk about the what are you catholic which is hilarious yes but in the clickbaity sense Religious Trauma Isn't Just About Sex!

in the way my family will talk about food and work ethic like being lazy? the Sloth crime? as if we have evolved to work the 40-hour work week which leaves you with the choice of 1. socialise 2. take care of basic needs and 3. sleep. u can only choose 1 or 2. u will always choose wrong. u will always be either unhappy or unhealthy. WE ARE MEANT TO LAY AROUND WARMING ON A ROCK UNDER THE SUN! what's with calling me lazy bc ignoring the special brain syndrome™ of perpetual boredom. i don't wanna be on the move all the time wtf. and if im not on the move enough that's also bad!!!!!!

❗❗❗cw EATING/FOOD/DIETS/ED ❗❗❗

the way WE'RE SUPPOSED TO ENJOY THE FOOD WE EAT. eating food gives you dopamine. you needed the dopamine to feed yourself to survive. this is evolution 101. and then i hear shit like living to eat (instead of eating to live) and they're not talking about the Binge eating (or otherwise overeating ED) it's literally making a meal because it's delicious and being happy to eat the delicious meal. apparently that's only ok for a quarterly family gathering feast. what the fuck kind of ass backwards logic.

the other thing I've been thinking about like jealousy and adultery and lust that are. all. directly. contributing. to the way we're living by the Strict Society Rules and it's not just homophobia but the way that those rejected for not fitting in within the cishet norm went and said why we doing the nuclear family monogamy shit anyway bc you cant tell me it wasn't born out of the inherently isolating experience of trying to be queer in peace when it means risking your life and wellbeing. so what is the Controversial queerplatonic/polyam/non-monogamous but the very basic human need of community, belonging, love, while giving yourselves the opportunity to take care of the other basic human needs of food, physical safety, shelter, sex, and play, all animal instincts yes, and conversation, physical affection, free spirituality, opportunity to create, emotional safety.

yeah. i said that. in one of many rambly unfinisheed posts in my drafts,

what. its like there are rules for human beings that were not created by a human being. im sure im onto smth here 👀🤭

and when i started writing the sentence i wasn’t thinking of religion it was freestyling in the confession booth type of thing, but by the end im like. huh. okay. that makes sense.

and not to be all charlie kelly pepe silva about it, but.

jokes aside its not the “god from the heavens” or whatever but the ‘weaponising religion to control the masses’ bc what do you get from this other than the “man and woman marry and have 10 children and then they all work on the fields all day and eat the bare essentials to survive and taxman gets rich”

idk about region-specific history so no one @ me about the medieval peasant myth or whatever!!!! im throwing darts with my eyes closed and wrapping glittery yarn between the landing points until things kinda make sense!!! im yelling into the void i dont need APA references

For Agnihotri, his devotion to Lord Ram manifests through his work and the positive impact he aims to create through his films.

Conclusion
