Well...I suppose America is a scary place. I mean, I'd be scared. All the time. If I was a gender critical feminist working a one of your universities, I'd be frightened too. If I was a public-facing figure with any kind of belief that made me stand out. It would influence how I conducted myself online - I'd be circumspect. I'd be careful. We don't have the right to bear arms in the UK. It's hard to imagine what that must feel like.
"A refusal to live life on life's terms" ....now, what does that sound like? Mallory, as per usual, comes so close and yet so far to getting it.
It's sad to watch her ricochet from "Fuck my birth family! I'm THRILLED I never have to speak to them again! Group sex!" to admitting that she's fixated on them and the estrangement.
Wow, that's grim. I really...hope they reconnect, impossible as it seems. I think she is just not only dealing with cutting off her family but having to reform an entire moral system from scratch, on the basis that doing good creates suffering. Any bright, intelligent person would overthink this, and she gets a special dose because she caused it. I hope playing the other parts makes her understand why they acted like they did.

Sounds like depression, or maybe a normal reaction to being torn away from your family, abruptly moved to the opposite side of the country from where you've lived your entire life, and subsequently abandoned for another woman by your only semblance of a support system, your narc husband.
It's the pills, Mal. The T is making you angry, and delusional, and an asshole.
Sounds like the high from the T is wearing off, typically that takes 2-3 years. Then you're just left with a wrecked body, rage and emotional numbness. Poor girl., reduced to strapping something on to take your unfaithful husband up the arse. What a beautifully realised life.
She's a great writer. This made me feel very sad for her.
Forgiving what Mallory did to them would take an act of forgiveness like the prodigal son's father. If they're as Christian as she says, it's something they could do. Their religion has a perfect framework for it.
as a bay area rich girl with long term family estrangement myself I would like to powerlevel and state for the record that I have no plans on ever cutting off my tits
She has to extricate herself from Joe and his clique, regain her sanity and health (as much as can be possible) before attempting a reconciliation, because the possibility exists her family may just not want to. It's very hard and difficult to admit you were bamboozled and then start over again alone, most people can't.
It could be repaired if she would accept it. @Cryin RN brought up the Prodigal Son story as I was writing a reply about it. That's why she had to rewrite the parable to make herself the hero for staying away and rolling around in the dirt. She has the storyline of reunion mapped out for her but has to taint it for herself to drive out that longing to go back and forgive her family and herself.
Exclusive on-the-scene photos of the most recent Kiwifarms face-to-face meetup, at which we celebrated the appearance of several TERF Twitter replies that made Joe Lavery angier than usual for a few minutes and produced some good milk:
It’s so funny, innit. Like I am “””””queer”””””” (not to PL) and a woman and poorer than him and have less social capital but he genuinely has to act like he believes we’re all dangerous white male neo-Nazi threats because we disagree with his opinions. It’s like, who is the privileged cunt here, you Oxford educated dolt??
