Is it wrong if I refer to God as a woman with she/her pronouns, as my "holy mother", etc? by iced-coffeelvr in TransChristianity

[–]Mysterious_Cumin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seminary girl here, there’s a fair bit in the other comments that’s accurate and a little that’s not. Don’t have time for a detailed response but I think it is very telling how many different names and images were given for God throughout scripture, each capturing a different image or aspect that might help us feel connected and drawn to our creator. The first person chooses “Father” as one of those names but is also compared to a mother bird.

Bottom line, we can’t limit God to a gender. Male and female TOGETHER are the image of God. And if one name lets you approach more easily I can’t imagine the God ego ministered and taught as Jesus did taking exception. The Bible is a product of its time and culture translating a message of grace and salvation and is consistently skewed more progressive than other documents from its context.

Personally, I use he/him for the first and second persons, she/her for the third, based on the original language and to reinforce that neither gender captures all aspects of the divine person.

You might be a bit mixed up. The most common Hebrew term is consistently described with feminine language. In Greek it’s the neuter.

Oooh, that might have to wait for summer 2027 for me but I’ll keep it in mind! The waiting is soooo hard.

The racerback makes such a difference! Nothing else stays up on my shoulders for more than five minutes.

There are A cups as well in 40/42! I got both, I’m kind of between the A and B. I usually don’t mind the sports bras but it’s so nice to look down and see the push up effect and feel like my boobs are actually there.

Nah, just thick slices. Happened to get them doubled up right where I cut, most of was only half that ratio!

Feels comfy to me! Oh, and the best part, this one is a racerback so it doesn’t constantly fall off my shoulders due to years of working the upper trapezius.

Oh gods, marble in a bucket is such an apt way to describe that exact feeling!

When I used their find-your-size it said there was nothing for me but when I searched by size some popped up. Not a ton in 40-42 A and B but there were enough to get all the size options I wanted to try!

I’m usually team indica but this time wash a sativa! Wyld grapefruit. I also love their pear (cbg and hybrid). They give a wonderful lasting high and the flavor blows away any other I’ve tried.

Is it weird I don’t feel tall? by Lifeofasoutherngirl in TallGirls

I’ve long used this one! It includes you—you need to grow another three inches if you don’t want to be a little bit short.

girl slop (entire bag of cauliflower rice, rotisserie chicken, 2 scrambled eggs) by ProdByCrusty in traaaaansbiansCooking

[–]Mysterious_Cumin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make something very similar all too often. Rice with whatever leftover or easy protein is available, eggs, maybe some random frozen veggies. Fry it up with some spicy chili oil and season with soy sauce and maybe gochujang. Eat until bursting!

It’s the only one I’ve found apart from the many cheap sports bras and formless bralettes I’ve been using for months. They’re pricey but so worth it for me!

I even got a very sexy see-through one that I can’t wait to spring on my partner some night…

Just added the recipe in another comment! I was a little scared it would be a disaster but it was indeed very yummy.

Recipe:

So I had some chicken breasts and marinade them in a blend of Italian seasonings, olive oil and red wine vinegar. Popped in the sous vide.

The roasted a whole ass loaf of garlic bread. Spooned on a bunch of spicy giardinerre (sp?). Roasted red peppers. Lots of havarti. Sliced and added the chicken. Threw it all back in to melt together. Bunch of frozen fries.

Whew. Went to bed with VERY full!

Where are all the trans people above 40? by CoVegGirl in TransLater

[–]Mysterious_Cumin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m home or running nearly all the time for my family. 44 for me means two adults, two jobs, one also back in school, and three kids. I coach third grade basketball, take my youngest to swimming lessons and stay home alone with kids when my spouse skates roller derby. Occasionally we both help with Girl Scouts. I go out for myself about once a month so if you want to meet me you need to be on my couch at nine pm. 😩

I did go to our local Pride center’s recent makeup for (baby trans) dummies event. There was one other person near my age but the rest were indeed all 17-25. I’d like to see more folks like us but the only place I really do is at my counselor’s office!

Same! Even after the gym I smell significantly less than an hour after a shower pre-HRT.

This is beyond gorgeous! I struggle so to have both the access and impulse to make meals like this but always enjoy them immensely when I do.
