i acknowledge, without meaning this in any grandiose way since this is nothing to be proud of, my "reddit's trans community" thread, later retitled by mods as "tr**** s******ws on social media", has contributed to so much radicalization, reactionary attitudes, and more. it has probably cost people their jobs. it has definitely cost a few their lives.
If trannies didn't want to radicalize people they shouldn't be a bunch of narcissist pedophiles. Also you should really kill yourself because no one loves you and the world would be a better place without you
 
Also, i was already transitioning when I joined.
Do you mean medically, or socially with things like nail polish or wearing women's clothes in private? If it's the latter then it's not really transitioning which you know it's more testing the waters of your kink/gender nonconformity. If you actually were medically trooning already then there's a glimmer of hope in you for you to see through the other side but considering you think men giving birth in the future is a medical possibility I'd say you're pretty far from the truth as it stands. Hopefully you can see reality soon enough and know the left/troon hugbox are not your friends and are not acting in your best interest.
 
I just had an amazing business idea: a funeral business that carves the person's gender to the bones of the dead. Can you imagine how many troons will pay to ensure that no one misgenders them, not even after death? If I had any mortician friend, I would propose it to him, lmao.

Imagine, trans friendly funeral business! We carve your TRUE AND LEGIT NAME on the gravestone, on your bones, and on your coffin! Show those Republicans that no archeologist will misgender you, not even a thousand years from now!

Why wait until they are dead?

What a morbid and cynical idea. It's perfect. The gendies would eat it up and demand it being tax paid, too, as well as doing the procedure while still alive. It would sell like a charm!

Those poor detransitioners, though.
 
I don't really know where this post belongs... mods, move it if this isn't the right place plz n thx.

I want to talk about the latest bit of scandal roiling the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts... call it Gatesgate.

ENS_041524_gates_crop.png

On March 31, Bishop Alan Gates (of the Diocese of Massachusetts) was presiding over an Easter Vigil at the Cathedral of Saint Paul, located in Boston. This vigil was organized by The Crossing, which describes itself as a "welcoming worship space for LGBTQIA+ folks."

Specifically, during the Eucharist, the celebrating priest, Rev. Tamra Tucker, who had returned to ministry after a 3-month sabbatical, flubbed her lines while explaining to the congregation how to take Communion. She stumbled over her explanation, and tried to play it off as a joke, saying "oh, how did it go again..? I haven't been here in awhile", or words to that effect. Bishop Gates responded by mockingly taking off Rev. Tamra's clerical collar (like, right off her vestments) and placed it on the altar. He gave it back a moment later and could be heard saying "just kidding", but the damage was done.

Bishop Gates is at the end of his tenure as Bishop (his replacement has already been elected), but social media and lots of other Episcopal clergy are basically raking him over the coals for the misogyny and disrespect he demonstrated when he took Rev. Tamra's collar, the symbol of her ordination. And I'm not going to defend that, Gates definitely should not have done that.

But... nobody is talking about the context n which Bishop Gates did this, which was the most insane shitshow of an Easter Vigil I have ever had to occasion to watch.

(skip to 2:21:00 if you don't want to watch the whole thing.)

Often I find that when something totally unusual and wrong like Gates' behavior occurs in a service, there are always a bunch of things leading up to that incident that sort of precipitate the behavior. Here, I think the precipitating factor is that nobody is taking this Easter Vigil terribly seriously. Looking at just the photo of the Eucharist is, to me, like a "what's wrong with this picture" game.

Why is there a drag queen emcee in a gold lame mermaid gown standing behind the Holy Table?
Why is there an "emcee" at all? Is this an Easter Vigil or a staging of Cabaret?
Why is the drag queen emcee up on the dias during Eucharist? Was he not drawing enough attention to himself during the prior two hours?
Why is there a bust of Jesus on the altar? That doesn't belong there.
Why are there at least four adults wearing skeleton pajamas at the consecration of the Paschal Candle?
Why was the drag queen ranting about "queer sunrises" and "overcoming the binary of day and night" off his phone? It's so cringe.
Why was there a spoken word poetry open mic? (59:20)
Who let that woman who cannot sing, sing "Wade in the Water" so shrilly and off-beat? (1:03:11)
Why is there a guy wearing a Moses costume playing maracas?
Why do half of the congregants look like hobos from Mass and Cass?
Why was there an Easter pageant from the Book of Daniel with giant emoji signs and why was the congregation given pom-poms and kazoos? (1:27:30)
Why were the skeleton PJ guys given 7 minutes for a die-in / interpretive dance? (1:40:00)

Any one of those things would have seemed irreverent and inappropriate for an Easter Vigil to me. All of those things taken together basically turn the Great Vigil into a woke 3-ring circus.

So while I don't want to defend Gates being a dick to Rev. Tamra, I also think this incident was basically precipitated by treating the Easter Vigil with this kind of irreverence, and Rev. Tamra does have some responsibility for that. When nobody else is acting like the liturgy matters, then why wouldn't Bishop Gates do the same?

Basically, the Diocese of Massachusetts is unbelievably pozzed and with this kind of trooney looney being totally acceptable, I'm not surprised Bishop Gates lost his temper.

Yes he should. Women should not be clergy. Tamra Tucker's performance is representative of her gender.
 
Strongly disagree with that, women have every right to the priesthood and that is one part of this Vigil that I think is 100% fine.
History of women's rights:
12,000 BC to 1920 AD: Women are property
1920-2012: Women can vote
2012-present: Men are women.

Not even a century before this all went to hell. The greeks in 391 BC knew the truth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assemblywomen
1900 years of Christianity knew the truth: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1 Corinthians 14:34-36&version=KJV
Islam still understands women.

Imagine, trans friendly funeral business!
You're joking, but you could take the germ of the idea and make it into a money-maker.

Quicker and easier way to deal with the male/female pelvis: cremation. (Or aquamation.) Sell pre-need cremation plans that are targeted to troons: add-ons like write-your-own-except-date obituaries and an urn with whatever name they want engraved on it. This is the demographic that threatens suicide a lot; what better way to tell people you're serious than begging for a funeral plan? And as a GoFundMe goal it's cheaper than any of the trans surgeries. Finally, if any of the e-begging trans are getting their sought-after disability validation, paid-off funeral plans don't count as an asset in the eyes of the government.

Younger generations aren't pre-arranging funerals anywhere near the previous rate. You probably couldn't land Neptune Society as a client, but if you make your proposal to a local mortuary, they'd probably at least let you freelance sales to the rainbow crowd.
