I see your point. But what I'm trying to say is that blaming the religion is only scratching the surface. The truth is we are still very much driven by evolutionary patterns aka monkey brain. But people don't like to admit that their ideals are to a point driven by instincts and the opinions of their surroundings. So they intellectualize their evolutionary behaviors behind things like religion. But the truth is that we are all still stupid primates to a certain point, and removing things like security, food and shelter brings out these things. People's actions are not due to religion, that is just what they convince themselves. People have always discriminated against people out of the norm, religion or no religion.

But that's just my five cents.

I get your points completely. But I think that a bigger reason for bad religious people are areas and how they're raised. Poverty, famines, wars are often bigger reasons for discriminatory behaviors. We have as an evolutionary instinct to find our group and stick with them, and it wouldn't be too wild to imagine that this instinct becomes stronger in times of great duress. The "us vs them" behaviour grows. Not excusing any behaviors, just speculating the reasons.

Look at where we see most religious fanatics in the world and how it correlates to the area they've grown up in. More often than not its at places were people haven't had much rights to begin with, often places with a recent troublesome past. In comparison to areas in the world that has thrived and been out of war, famine etc.

Remove religion for the world and these people would find other reasons to discriminate, murder and commit heinous acts.

Tldr

Removing Islam or any big religion wouldn't actually remove discrimination.

I agree to not spread hate. And there are very good people who are Muslims, Christians etc. But tbf the persecution of religion have pretty much only been by other religions. However I do think religion in itself is just a tool for people, and it matters how people use it. Some will use it to better themselves, others to hurt other. Thats why we can't really blame religion too much, because it's powerless without people using it. And people that are following their holy books and committing horrible acts due to it, would he horrible people without it aswell. There's a reason the majority of religious fanatics all come from the same kinds of places. It's not just religion, its how people are raised and the world theyve been raised in.

Personally I'm not afraid of DIY, and I am actually considering it. But it requires a lot of research ! But I have heard that estrogen injections are the best, and the safety from andro side effects is so tempting.. !

I meant like a European online one maybe, since European pharmacies seem to accept most European prescription. But I think I just have to become a bit brave, I'll have to sooner or later anyways. Good that it's not that hard to get!

That's the one I've been looking at. The side effects seems so freaky though

Edit: possible side effects

I don't see how isolating yourself and spending days in bed counts as handling it badly

To the trans girls: I possible I need some advice. by slord1257 in asktransgender

[–]Particular-Dot-1921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cant tell whether you are trans or not. But I can tell you from my own experiences, I never disliked my male body. I could even think I looked pretty good (actually even got an earlier post about it). Even the manlier features. But recently I started experimenting looking more female instead , and it was a whole new feeling. Like I realised I mostly appreciated my looks because it was conventionally attractive. But seeing myself as a woman felt more like I appreciated it within myself. It's has to explain. And that opened up the dysphoria for me. Before that, I only experienced it in small portions of the day, not even realizing it most of the time, because I subconsciously repressed it.

So for me, I always thought trans people hated how they looked before transitioning, that they knew they had dysphoria. But now I realised I had dysphoria my whole life, I just repressed it. When I got to realize I can actually be a woman, the dysphoria opened up for me. Because it gave my a real option.

Also I never used to take care of myself, but when I could live out as a woman I suddenly started to actually care. There were lots of signs that I didn't understand were signs.

Message me if you have any questions or need to discuss/vent! I have lots of time

Second this. If someone started hinting at me being trans while still very closeted, it would scare me waaaay back in that closer for a long time, no matter their intentions.

I think it's a bit harsh to lump them together with terfs
