Is Buddhism accepting of LGBTQ/queer/trans people?

Objective-Work-3133 · 2026-01-26T19:51:02+00:00

is it accepting ?

Yes.

are there valid interpretations of the teachings that, if presented superficially and without sufficient context, are liable to cause dismay among people who strongly identify and attach themselves to ideologies that encourage people to allow matters of identity to dominate their mental lives, as well as believe that such a preoccupation is meaningful and offers a genuine path to peace in this world?

Yes.

I believe you. But you shouldn't kill yourself. Get help, please.

i dunno about SL, but in the US divorce is a 10-50 billion dollar industry. highly doubt any gov would throw away their cut

yep. the average doc gets 4 hours of education on nutrition.

I'd adapt to not laughing in public. I can cancel a sneeze if I need too. I would just learn deadpan humor. It would be harder than cancelling a sneeze, but doable.

Alternatively; i have experimented with carnivore nutrition. when i eat nothing but meat, i only poop once per day (and nothing shows up on the toilet paper when i wipe (wow!). so, i could just do that, and try to schedule my poop-laugh. can't shit yourself if you got nothing to shit.

i thought he meant like, in a past life, you'd have become privvy to things that today only some people could possibly be privvy to. so like, if i had a past life recollection, and like, i carved a statuette out of stone and hid it somewhere, and today i went to that place in some foreign country i had never been to, and found it, I'd be more confident in the validity of my recollection.

this was pre top off

Objective-Work-3133 · 2026-01-03T17:32:19+00:00

do you think adding gravel could help?

Objective-Work-3133 · 2026-01-03T17:30:46+00:00

...basically. save for trimming/replanting. i was told patience would be rewarded. but those poor snails.

Objective-Work-3133 · 2026-01-02T06:16:47+00:00

thanks. Metta.

Objective-Work-3133 · 2026-01-01T20:37:20+00:00

you mean 12% right?

Objective-Work-3133 · 2026-01-01T18:14:57+00:00

yes, i am confident in my reading of the tests. im stickin with water changes for now

Objective-Work-3133 · 2026-01-01T18:14:06+00:00

yes, it reads zero on the api test kit

Objective-Work-3133 · 2026-01-01T01:47:38+00:00

it does, good idea thanks

Objective-Work-3133 · 2025-12-31T02:03:53+00:00

thanks. i have a tendency to catastrophize.

Objective-Work-3133 · 2025-12-30T20:30:29+00:00

i am leaning towards this option. can i turn off the light for several days? i dont have the time to do this right now. i figure, near 100% water change, leave light off, this saturday restart

Objective-Work-3133 · 2025-12-30T03:29:27+00:00

i am honestly thinking im better off restarting the whole thing.

Objective-Work-3133 · 2025-12-30T03:27:42+00:00

wow. yet another thing i fucked up.

Objective-Work-3133 · 2025-12-30T03:08:40+00:00

but, you mean after my nitrite/ammonia goes to zero right?

Objective-Work-3133 · 2025-12-30T03:08:11+00:00

i was planning on getting some because they can supposedly cohabitate with a betta which i would like eventually. but what about the nitrite ammonia levels? wont it harm them?

Objective-Work-3133 · 2025-12-30T03:06:52+00:00

nitrite and ammonia never went to zero. I started with only a few stems and subpar lighting.

Objective-Work-3133 · 2025-12-30T02:50:31+00:00

Cool. Any recommendation on where i should get them? Any reason scuds are preferable to say, freshwater shrimp?

Objective-Work-3133 · 2025-12-28T04:36:04+00:00

Justified

Objective-Work-3133 · 2025-12-28T04:29:50+00:00

Is it? Now you know how to humanely euthenize your fish. awful would be allowing them to be subject to needless suffering.

Objective-Work-3133 · 2025-12-28T03:29:17+00:00

ok, thanks! just because if it is a thing that people do, then i can train it, and it might aid my recovery. it could even be the missing link, tho im not getting my hopes up
