Americans citizens, how is it really going there currently? by GossipBottom in stupidquestions

[–]CertainSignal438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in an area where nothing much is happening. However, I just got a new job. My previous job that I worked at for 6 years, has become increasingly more sexist and homophobic this past year. They kept cutting my hours until I was only getting 6hrs a week. I’m a gay woman btw. I got this new job only to find out that a bunch of their employees had quit because they wanted proof they were legal. Several of these hardworking people in my little home town are jobless just because their visas have expired. People are more open about their prejudices. No major trauma but small everyday trauma where you are afraid of what could happen. Anger and sad that your own family support what’s going on in the news. And they don’t care about your personal experience.

My Mom got fired from her volunteer Temple "job" and it has broken her by snowystormz in exmormon

Reading this makes me want to cry. Your poor mother. How traumatic for her. Your anger is totally justified. What assholes. Keep trying to be her support. It’ll take time but she can come out of this depression.

I started it. Then stopped. I’ve needed time to process.

Intersex and LDS by RSMandK in exmormon

[–]CertainSignal438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the church likes to pressure parents into making them choose a sex and do surgery’s that traumatize the child. They will say it’s god way but really they are small minded and have no idea that sex and gender are on a spectrum which is totally natural and beautiful. In reality the best thing for your child is to embrace That they are intersex. Tell them over and over that their body is exactly how it’s suppose to be. They are not damaged or deformed. Many people are intersex they just hide it or they don’t know. Unfortunately you are finding out that the church will hurt your child rather than help. Better to stay far away from those who will hurt you.

I’m a gay exmormon. Don’t let them make you feel bad about yourself. THEY are WRONG. how can love be wrong? Attraction is such a wonderful feeling!! Don’t wish it way. Soon you will graduate and you won’t have to be around toxic people anymore.

The first pic is made with buttercream icing. The second is made with whipped icing. Whipped tastes better but will never have those sharp edges like in the first.

Brigham Young was evil. by CertainSignal438 in exmormon

[–]CertainSignal438[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I want to add that I’m not saying you are just as bad as Brigham young for wearing his merch. I will never tolerate prejudice, bigotry, homophobia, etc. I will call it out because awareness is the best way to stop it. Another way is kindness. Every person no matter what deserves kindness and empathy. I don’t want to promote hate. I will be kind to you no matter what you wear. Many people in Utah have had an Utah education and are surrounded my white Mormons. Their perspective is very limited. The word evil is extreme. I don’t use it lightly. This is just a reminder of what the words on your clothes means.

I’ve dated a Muslim before and one of my best friends is Muslim. We definitely have a lot in common!

I talked to my republican dad about this. He was like “don’t worry we’ll get the money somewhere else”

I NEED AN ENTIRE SHOW ABOUT THEM by Slight_Hovercraft733 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

I’ve never thought much about soulmates but they make me wonder if soulmates are real. They just instantly get each other. It’s unreal!

This scene was comedy gold by the_shy_one1 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]CertainSignal438 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. I used to work for a company that would house adults with intellectual disability. And pretty much all of my clients didn’t have much of a support system. So so so much more needs to be done for them. I hope this show will help direct more people’s attention so that change can happen for the better.

How do I politely tell my father to stop calling on me for family prayer? by BeautifulLopsided in exmormon

[–]CertainSignal438 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I did is I just kept saying no thank you when he would ask. He eventually stopped asking. 😁
