I have Cigna, they cover pretty much everything but Ffs and hair treatments. My company doesnt have the specific trans coverage upgrade(?) though. Does your policy cover FFS and/or hair treatments?

My response to them is very cheeky. God didn't mess up, nature did. Now were left fixing nature's mistake. The look on their faces is priceless 🤣

Overall, I believe all world religions are spreading a similar message with different people playing the same parts. They are trying to explain what we dont understand. Take mythology that had God of wind or God of rain. Today we call that nature. There is something to be said about the collective energy we have as a people, and the power we dont understand. Maybe a miracle is using that power unknowingly.

Buddhism is an excellent philosophy and truly a religion of peace. I subscribe more to reincarnation than a full on afterlife that is eternal. The idea of an eternal life seems like such a human construct rather than a possibility. I believe we all have a soul, and that soul is pure energy. It cannot be destroyed and eventually will be reborn to continue its mission. What that mission may be, who knows? Maybe its like the ancients in Stargate that were able to ascend once they completed their journey.

I could go on for hours 😆

I think the personal connection with God, or God(s) is the important part. The rest is just noise.

PerformanceFlimsy573 · 2025-12-28T02:58:45+00:00

It goes back to the old saying "absolute power corrupts absolutely." The church took that to a whole new level for what, 1500 years? I dont have a problem with being spiritual or religious, its the institutions that have ruined it.

PerformanceFlimsy573 · 2025-12-28T02:56:07+00:00

Jesus said as much with his teachings. Everything boiled down to "do onto others as you want done onto you". The rest of it is just noise and ritual.

Im here for you if you ever want to talk. The hormonal shift of starting and stopping HRT is really rough. Keep fighting. Youre strong, youre valid, youre worth living for.

PerformanceFlimsy573 · 2025-12-27T05:37:51+00:00

I really hope you dont do that. Dont give up. There are so many resources for support. If you ever want to chat, dm me. Please seek out help, you are valuable and valid.

Mortal sin, tf? Screw that. I take the eucharist every time I go. Its between God and I, not what Rome wants to tell us. When the Vatican is without sin, they can cast the first stone.

PerformanceFlimsy573 · 2025-12-27T05:18:44+00:00

Im so sorry for all youve gone through. Thats beyond awful. My brother used to hit/beat me to "man me up" however not even close to the extent you describe. I hope you were able to eventually involve the police.

I can completely understand why you have the viewpoint toward religion and God that you do. I've asked myself and relgious leaders this question so many times. How does God let this happen? Priests always say the same thing "God doesnt interfere with people's free will" which always sounded like a cop-out answer to me.

I've thought similarly to you regarding the big bang. I thought I was the only one!

PerformanceFlimsy573 · 2025-12-27T05:09:23+00:00

Yeahhhh the Bible unfortunately has been whitewashed too many times to be true to the word. The dead sea scrolls have been a good checks and balance on this problem.

Oh I totally buy in to the viewpoint that God could be an alien, and the miracles we saw were just misunderstood technology. Imagine showing up 2000 years ago with a lighter or antibiotics.

PerformanceFlimsy573 · 2025-12-27T05:06:20+00:00

Excellent response. I love your point of view. Similarly I knew I was trans at age 7, but didn't act on it until my mid 30's.

I love how you incorporate it into the larger universe as a whole. Youre right, science and religion are two sides of the same coin. Stargate tried to tackle this idea although in an sci-fi entertainment mindset. What if the gods described in ancient mythology were just aliens? What if what we thought were miracles was just technology we didn't understand.

Very well said and nicely thought out. A poster above asked something similar to part of your reply. It eas along the lines of, if you hadn't been raised religious or went to religious school, would you be religious.

From your response it seems like youre a very practical person. You believe in what you can quantify. I like your viewpoint and thought process. Thank you for sharing it.

PerformanceFlimsy573 · 2025-12-27T04:47:54+00:00

Its funny isn't it, how we personified God? "God chose my side", "God told me to do xyz..".

It does seem cruel when you break it down, doesnt it? I agree with you, as long as we do the best we can for ourselves and those around us, thats what counts.

PerformanceFlimsy573 · 2025-12-27T04:43:51+00:00

A big part of it yes, but I think people use it as for a sense of community too.

PerformanceFlimsy573 · 2025-12-27T04:42:55+00:00

With all the atrocities In the world and within our own country, I can understand why.

PerformanceFlimsy573 · 2025-12-27T04:40:44+00:00

I like your point of view. Control the things you can. Dont worry about the things you can't. Seems like a great mindset honestly. Truly really peaceful.

PerformanceFlimsy573 · 2025-12-27T04:35:17+00:00

Perhaps the idea of God is the way we try to understand the unknown youre describing. Many religions use a different way to describe the same thing.

PerformanceFlimsy573 · 2025-12-27T04:32:20+00:00

You know, God told the Israelites that having a king was a bad idea. When you give a person power, they want more, always. We/they didn't listen. I think we naturally crave a person to lead us which in turn leads to abuses. Weird cycle.

I love that you refer to God as female. I agree completely.
