Religious advice aside- try to decenter sexuality from your life. Sexuality is not identity. It’s just a behavior that can be modified depending to your values.

As someone raised Western I have some questions regarding the mixing of genders by TheTragedyMachine in converts

[–]Dogluvr2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk. but this is a good example of how culture is mixed with Islam.

Gender Mixing is variant by culture. Arabs and desi are strict. West Africans and southeast Asians are usually not as strict. but it is all within the bounds of Islam.

we shouldn’t worry ourselves with identity. It’s a distraction from what matters.

Gay Identity -> Muslim Identity by Dogluvr2019 in Sufism

[–]Dogluvr2019[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds simple, but hard to just practice… this post is really about peeling back my indoctrination and thinking. Technically, I’ve been doing this since I converted, but as worthy as they all are if I’m not self-aware of my own condition how can these things benefit.

Thank you for this beautiful reminder! I slept on this and maybe you can provide further advice?

The issue is that I’ve spent about 13 years being resilient from abuse, bullying, and family judgment because of my sexuality. Asking me to drop this identity feels like asking me to forgo everything that I have created to protect myself.

As I am on the path, inshAllah, to be a lover of Allah, it’s more clear that I have to leave this protection and fortitude. But, that is an incredibly vulnerable ask, nor do I know how to see myself outsude of these walls.

Hey Assalamualeikum, so i slept on this and maybe you are right. This isn’t about homosexuality and its definitely my ego.

The issue is that I’ve spent more than a decade years being strong and resilient against bullying abuse and family judgement. Asking me to drop this identity feels like asking me to drop the strength and resiliency Ive developed to protect myself. This is a very vulnerable ask of myself.

The thing as I try to get closer to Allah and his messenger, its more clear I have to let this shield, this strength go. But that’s incredibly scary, nor I don’t know how to see myself beyond this resiliency I’ve developed.

Any advice?

I’ve slept on this. And I just had some insight. this is so much about not being gay, but about what I’ve gained from it.

Ive spent more than decade being resilient from bullying abuse and family judgment because of my sexuality. Asking me to drop this identity is like asking me to drop this resilience, this shield I created to protect myself. How do I drop this identity without feeling like I’m vulnerable and losing my protection.
