(i ripped this off wikipedia real fast so sorry if it's lib)

In October 1776, the Public Universal Friend contracted an epidemic disease and was bedridden and near death with a high fever. Their family summoned a doctor from Attleboro, six miles away, and neighbors kept up a death-watch at night. The fever broke after several days. The Friend later reported that [deadname redacted] had died, receiving revelations from God through two archangels who proclaimed there was "Room, Room, Room, in the many Mansions of eternal glory for Thee and for everyone". The Friend further said that [deadname redacted]'s soul had ascended to heaven and the body had been reanimated with a new spirit charged by God with preaching his word, that of the "Publick Universal Friend", describing that name in the words of Isaiah 62:2 as "a new name which the mouth of the Lord hath named".

From that time on, the Friend refused to answer to their deadname, ignoring or chastising those who insisted on using it. When visitors asked if it was the name of the person they were addressing, the Friend simply quoted Luke 23:3 ("thou sayest it").  Identifying as neither male nor female, the Friend asked not to be referred to with gendered pronouns. Followers respected these wishes; they referred only to "the Public Universal Friend" or short forms such as "the Friend" or "P.U.F.", and many avoided gender-specific pronouns even in private diaries. When someone asked if the Friend was male or female, the preacher replied "I am that I am", saying the same thing to a man who criticized the Friend's manner of dress (adding, in the latter case, "there is nothing indecent or improper in my dress or appearance; I am not accountable to mortals").

editorial note: I think this is a very cool story and I really love hearing it. We've been around forever and we've been doing variations of this forever. It's really beautiful

Pontifications in the Parking LotI get how dating works, but like, it's always something I've had other people to encourage me to do. I'm actually kinda confused by people who don't need any sort of encouragement to do stuff.

Then you haven't dated in a long time and people ask you about it and it's like, I'm not in talks with anyone about the concept of romance or what it means to be in a relationship. If I were having conversations about this stuff, it'd be more front of mind. I'd be trying if I knew what and where and when.

I feel this with a lot of stuff. Like, yeah, I think about doing a lot of stuff, but I can't just activate myself like a robot and do everything. Then people ask you why you didn't do it already, and it's like, you could probably help if you need this done sooner???

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

spoilerYou have no obligation to date someone. If you're happy single, be single. You're not wrong for not dating, from what you said it just doesn't seem like a priority for you - which is a completely fine point of view!

Unless you mean, like, you weren't sure how to pick up someone lol

I have rotted my brain out, no cwsOkay so like... if no physical trait or anything is inherently gendered, which is true, then surely hormones and other physical things like that can't be an aspect of gender expression...? Just looking at that written down I realise I must be missing something, but my brain is sort of dumb right now. Stop taking gabapentin and The Gender Thoughts awaken immediately shulk-vision

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago (10 children)

Well, incongruence between one's physical body and one's mental image of one's self would still exist without gender. But yes, socially constructed roles have an immense impact on people's psyche. This is already partially recognized by the mainstream transgender community through the existence of social dysphoria as a subtype of gender dysphoria.

Today, I actually stopped and looked at my shadow instead of just avoiding it and didn't completely hate what I saw.
That's progress of a sort, I guess madeline-smug

Sanity check chat, is a parent saying "you can do a b c transition things, but I don't want you doing x y z while you live here, I'm just not comfortable with that/goes against my beliefs", abusive? Like assuming its strictly transition related. I don't know what specific things are being thought of either. Personally, I'm assuming that to mean hrt/pronouns/name/clothes?

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, definitely. The parent is clearly treating the child as property, doing so in a cissexist manner, and attempting to destroy the child's sense of self. However, it's super normalized.

What goes against their beliefs and why? madeline-stare If something you need goes "against their beliefs" (cultural revolution against kkkhristianity when) then I would say yes to this question.

If xyz were something like "hang trans flag in window facing the street," I think I could accept fear of being hatecrime'd as sorta-kinda acceptable given how unimportant that is likely to be for the person doing it. But not respecting/allowing things like name, pronouns, presentation, and hrt would all be shitty behavior at best and definitely abusive with for minors and/or those with disabilities who are much more dependent on parents.

Anything relating to your body and identity is your purview, and they should be respected

Asking a couple guys I'm talking to which sheets I should get.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (6 children)

They keep em forever and don't even wash their sheets - dunno what the deal is with guys, every time I've asked if they wash their sheets #1 answer is "you have to wash your sheets?"

And then their skin is perfect, wtf men
