  • Indoctrination is a very powerful force. I am glad he broke free from some of the chains and saw the error of his ways, but he has a lot of work to do to make amends, especially after being such a hateful asshole for so long, having such reach and such a voice.

    Some people manage to break free and it should be celebrated and supported, because often times, especially for teens, trying to break free leads to excommunication, and becoming a pariah, and after your teens, changing becomes way, way harder.

    Sincerely, a formerly indoctrinated homophobe, now an atheist, gay and fierce defender of many rights.

    You know, mobiles are a thing, Right? And that venting can help with the feelings of frustration and impotence I feel while I wait to see if my girl will pull through, and that social interaction helps a lot with grief and loss. She is currently cuddled up with me in my sleeping bag, right after her subcutaneous saline injections to try to keep her hydrated.

    Thanks, at least I know that after I rescued her, she never knew what it meant to be abandoned again. Been sleeping in a sleeping bag in the bathroom just to keep her company, now that she can’t jump to the bed.

    She and my two other cats have been with me and cuddled with me on my darkest days, so it is time to mirror their kindness.

    Her name is Navi because my ex and I are geeks, and ever since she was little and we rescued her, she has always been very vocal, and loves shoulder rides.

    Last time she was sick, I thought she wouldn’t make it, but here she is. Full recovery except big kidney-little kidney syndrome, and after 5 years of living life at its fullest, she is unwell again. I truly hope she proves me wrong again, and brightens my life for 5 more years, but even if she doesn’t, I will forever keep her in my heart and keep doing what brought us together, fostering cats in need, and helping them find a forever home.

    She is almost 10, and I love watching her rule the house and my other two cats with an iron fist.

    I am cis, yet I used to wear women’s jeans because my ass is glorious, and back in my day they just didn’t make form flattering clothes for men. Wore foundation and a little make up to help boost my self esteem and hide my scars, and enhance my natural beauty, and acted “as a woman” because I was already androgynous as fuck, and I had a lot of fun watching people get mindfucked and perplexed when they found out I was a non gender conforming mechanic.

    There are many reasons to wear women’s clothes, you don’t get to invalidate everyone else because you think everyone who has enjoyed some things from “the other side of the fence” is trans, in denial and you are the only one who knows better and can save them.

    That is some real “white savior” grade bullshit, mate.

    Glad you’re getting yeeted.


  • Because of course, you know better than them. You know better than everyone and if anyone thinks otherwise, they’re wrong. /s

    Going up to a person and telling them “Hey, you’re fat”, “Hey, you’re white” or “Hey, you’re trans”, is rude, dumb and a sign that you might be autistic or a moron.

    Sure, some femboys do grow older and realize they were trans all along, and some don’t. I am a bit fluid, but when I was young, I could have been considered a femboy, if that had been considered a thing back then. Looking pretty, androgynous, wearing gender neutral or mixing it up some days was a lot of fun, but FOR ME it was a phase. I enjoyed it when I was young, but it is no longer my thing, because people are fluid. For others it is not a phase, and they genuinely enjoy being femboys, for some others it is the beginning of a self realization journey.

    Point is, let people be who they are, your experience is not the same as everyone else’s. And I have seen your other “meme” and your comments, and you are surprisingly quick to dismiss other gender identities, and on the same breath say that trans women are not real women.

    You got some deep seated issues, darling. Seek help, and I don’t mean it as an insult, I say it because I really think you could benefit from it.
