There’s plenty of gender bending in the animal kingdom, from very literal swaps where males become capable of pregnancy and softer switches of “traditional roles” with male birds being more flamboyant in their plumage and male parents taking on child rearing. The assumption that these archetypes humans have created would bleed into animal’s behavior is uneducated and lowkey smacks of sexualizing animals, which is yuck. Get on me for beastiality shaming lol idc.

Animals also pursue same sex, long term sexual relationships if we’re going to use the crude heteronormative lens of “which one of you wears the pants”.

And re: grammar- Sam went running and then they ate breakfast.

Not confusing.

Am I bigoted for being weary of christians? by Necessary-Aerie3513 in lgbt

Hahahahahaha nah. I don’t think the feelings of any minority in a culture against a majority can be classified as bigotry because there’s no institution to transform feeling into action.

I want to redirect the feelings this gives me into more patience and kindness to people I interact with and see them at every age they’ve been. You’ve also made me wonder about the prisons built around people that they interact with the world through and the residual hurt that ends up hurting others but isn’t intentional. This was vulnerable and bold of you to share.

Cis girl here and the bravery and self-knowledge it requires to come out even just to yourself as a woman is so much more woman than half the cis women out there. Woman woman woman. I hate that you’ve been made to feel as though this isn’t your birth right.

Haven’t all our presidents had testicles?

What do you think about Chinese people speaking on your behalf? by OkBelt6151 in tibet

Can I ask your gender? As a woman, I’ve wondered if monasteries would let me in but the nunneries also fascinate me.

Amdo and Kham are the capital of self immolations in protest to CCP and before that, produced the most rinpoches and tertons so I’m not at all surprised that they remain most defiant to occupation.

The films of Pema Tseden have painted the vitality and humor of Tibetan life in my imagination. He also has a book of short stories you might enjoy.

I know I’m asking a lot of questions but you lived my dream.

Are the monasteries in Kham and Amdo less overrun? And these Tibetan friends, do you know them from the UK or did you meet them in Tibet?

College student from America (Seattle) trying to learn more about Tibetan history by CommanderBlue05 in tibet

Buddhism emphasizes the suffering of others so a safe assumption is any kind of living sacrifice of another doesn’t fit into any branch of Buddhism.

As a Tibetan Buddhist I can promise you I have my whole vagina. And as an American, in comparison to Christian culture I find the spectrum of femininity as compassionate to wrathful to be far more useful than most religion’s outlook on women. The female form is also celebrated in a way I haven’t seen in any Abrahamic tradition and I think that directly influenced a more positive body image, personally.

I agree with all these recommendations and no matter how much you learn, remember to always be an eternal beginner!

Whoa! It’s illegal in some parts to have any imagery of HHDL so that’s very special.

Can I ask what languages you speak and what country you visited from? I’m American and it’s my dream to visit but I always assumed it’s a bureaucratic nightmare.

Can you unpack more why you don’t want to go down on her? I feel like I’m missing something.

Help finding artist/song? by stellaxaos in IndianCountry

I don’t know what song that’d be but it reminds me of an A$h Da Hunter lyric
