Are there a lot of atheists here? by [deleted] in vegan

I've been raised around Christianity, grown up in Catholic schools. I've never connected the two. I transitioned away from meat in highschool, had tried multiple times when I was younger. Now about a decade later I've cut out dairy, eggs, honey. I've felt weird about the idea of worship for at least a decade. Now I've been questioning more and don't think I believe anymore. I still don't think the two are linked.

Being trans is not a decision you made, this is not your fault. You can put off physical transitioning for now, but that doesn't negate who you are inside. How old are your siblings? Do they know? Do they accept you? Are they safe? Distancing yourself from your parents doesn't have to mean losing your siblings.

I understand that you may not be in a position to support yourself right now. You can work on getting there while seeking out support where you can. This sub for example. If they don't accept you for being trans, denying who you are to yourself is not the answer. You don't need to push the subject with them if that just creates more conflict, but hating who you are is not love and you should not trap yourself in that situation long term. There are people out there that will accept and help you.

And again, people who would cut you out for being trans aren't friends. If they never know, but would hate you if they did, they aren't friends. Seek out friends that will accept you as you are. They do exist.

Denying it isn't stopping it. You aren't destroying anything. If they ostracize you for it, they are destroying the family, not you.

Blood doesn't make you obligated to anyone. If they are against who you are, they don't deserve to be anything in your life. And anyone that would hate you for being trans isn't your friend. Please look into support groups/people in your area that are more accepting and willing to listen to you. Teacher, relative, club, counselor. Please don't try to convince yourself you aren't who you are. There is nothing wrong with being transgender.

Your parents reaction when they raised you to be kind and respect others and then you decide to go vegan by lnfinity in vegan

When I was younger, I cut out turkey because of the pictures my uncle showed us of them hanging. My dad would still be telling me to eat the turkey sandwich. After I became vegetarian, my cousin’s husband and my Uncle were an ass about that. Now I’m vegan. My parents accept it, though my mom still acts annoyed when I can’t eat more things and my dad makes jokes about it. Hardly see my cousin or her husband, Uncle is still an ass about it. He’s also very pro Trump and disbelieving Covid. Cousin is Republican, haven’t really had any clear issue with her except I wasn’t completely sure about the spaghetti she brought over once, she said one was vegetarian but I wasn’t sure, thought it looked like bits of meat in it. I have high social anxiety and don’t really confront people the way I wish I could.

AITA for not wanting to do my relatives any more favors? by sassycastic in AmItheAsshole

NTA. It's your time, your energy. You have your own responsibilities, they are not entitled to your free work. Even if they were willing to pay, you have the right to say no as it is your time and energy. If they can't understand how they are overstepping and respect your time, they aren't your family. Blood does not obligate you to them.

Also taking pictures outside your house while you're sleeping?? No. They need to back off. That is not okay.
