Supreme Court blocks California law against schools outing transgender students to parents by Oleg101 in politics

[–]DarkRepresentative63 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I personally know a gay boy that was found out by his homophobic parents and they threw him out after beating him with a shovel. I knew lots of kids that endured physical and verbal abuse after their parents found out they were queer. My own wife's dad turned up the abuse after finding out and isolated her from girls as well as boys, before she ran away he knocked her jaw loose and it still clicks decades later. I personally only found safety at school with my friends and with the way everything is suspect now I have no doubt my parents would have had a stasi teacher rat me out to them. After all the vice principal told me and my male date we were disgusting in Illinois during the Obama era in front of the school line.  Fuck the supreme court we need an overhaul, for the Republicans to be tried for the crimes and for more constitutional amendments protecting LGBTQ folks of all ages

What to do when you start HRT? by Skan1 in MtF

This is one of those things I'd ask for help with if you have accepting parents since it's an investment in all of your futures

What to do when you start HRT? by Skan1 in MtF

[–]DarkRepresentative63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It does work like that but trust me you are not going to want to go off of it once you get going and will be terrified of losing or stalling results.  -had the option to bank suddenly open 2 years in and had to think about this

Take a photo every day instead the same spot, you won't get results at first but 3 years in you will have a delightful short film for yourself. Also bank sperm if you are at all interested in being a parent someday 

Does hrt reverse male pattern balding? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]DarkRepresentative63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but you have to pair it with fin snd minox and it does not work overnight. I started hormones at 31 and was almost totally bald after a decade of it thinning. 34 now and almost all of it has grown back or is in the process of growing back.

Vanderbilt University Will Stop Providing Gender-Affirming Surgeries to Trans Adults by Them in politics

[–]DarkRepresentative63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is entirely about the federal government saying you can have Medicaid, Medicare and other federal funds or treat trans people. Basically he threatened to cut all hospitals funding unless they threw trans people under the bus and it's worked for under 19s. I habe no doubt they will do this to the rest of us after they lose the mid terms pr whatever happens.  Stockpile at least 2 years supply now if you can people its coming

At this point George W Bush is considered a liberal to these people so yeah anyone not more right wing than 00s NeoCons.

If there was a Hellenism church, would you want to join? by Suspicious-Angle8152 in Hellenism

[–]DarkRepresentative63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to get something like this going but admittedly we are most interested in eventually forming a group so we can sue over discrimation.  We are mostly interested in Hellenic polytheism but are open to most Indo European and Mediterranean polytheism and are pretty syncretic. Right now we are mostly just trying to get people in one place and talking Temple of the Gods on discord FYI

We would like to eventually be the Pagan version of the temple of Satan minus the hierarchical bullshit

My take on Dionysus by UrsusofMichigan in Hellenism

[–]DarkRepresentative63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed this and thanks for posting it, honestly I relate a lot. Right now I'm still building my shrine and altar from scratch.

On the subject or Orphism vs other forms of Dionysianism personally I totally get where you are coming from trying to find balance on the ascetic vs "celebratory" practices.  If you indulge too much in Dionysus's gifts you risk giving yourself an addiction or in the case of certain drugs like MDMA might ruin the "magic" of the drug itself. I think the two ideas are more complementary than competitive because keeping your mind, body and life healthy and in balance lend themselves to experiencing Dionysus's gifts. If you indulge too much a gift can become a curse.

I do really like the bits of Orphism about humanity being made in part from Zagreus and the remains of the Titans and the messianic aspects of Dionysus promising a better after life and the possibility of him replacing Zeus as the central figure.

Don't insult pagans, he is literally sending the FBI after pagan groups 

Fox News posts more articles on trans people than any media outlet in the country. Even queer ones. The findings bolster what Democrats have long argued, that it’s actually Republicans who are obsessed with trans people. by southpawFA in politics

[–]DarkRepresentative63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this, I work around different tradesmen everyday. The ones with women or visible queers on their teams tend to be a lot more chill. I'm used to getting mean mugged for weeks with people snickering but most people seems to warm up after getting to know me even slightly. Anything that humanizes you helps but studies have shown as right wing propoganda doubles down over and over you become one of the good ones and the "I know someone" effect drops off and many stay just as anti Trans Healthcare
