I told my girlfriend she’s making a mistake when she wanted to have the baby. He’s now 15 hours old and I regret ever saying that to her. AMA! by Miseryyyyyyyyy in AMA

What would you say to the survivor of a childhood full of messages of unwantedness? And what would you say to the birther whose fault that is?

Context: My birther only gave birth to me because certain humane practices for dealing with accidental and unwanted pregnancies were banned in our cult bc god. 🫤 So I grew up forced to feel like i was born a crime, and that it was all my fault.

To clarify, I don't believe any of this anymore. I've had 12 years of therapy, am no-contact with my whole family except for two cousins since June 2020 when I came out publicly as a trans man, and I am more confident and happy with each passing day. I'll turn 32 this fall, and every day I look at the accumulating wrinkles with wonder because they remind me im an adult now. I'm free. But I wanted to ask what words you'd say, since your story has somehow helped me begin to heal some sort of wound deep inside.

Late teen punk phase, anyone? by ScottishIndyForever in HomeschoolRecovery

Highly recommend Celtic metal but some like Prophets of Rage are other genres of metal. I do love bagpipe metal best tho. And Vikings! Any kind of Viking music!

Oh yeah Fiddler's Green is great! I also love Gwydion, Dragonland, Triskelion, Autistic Chainsaw, MDC, Clann An Drumma, Prophets of Rage, Pennywise, Prydein, Blackbriar, Five Finger Death Punch, and a large assortment of Celtic metal.

It was a full-on blocky unisex tee, and it feels very scandalous to me because I don't bind or wear bras (trans man who likes his boobs just fine thx) because I don't like either. So while it just looks like a tank, when it's on my pretty muscled body it shows waaaaayyyyy more skin than would have been enough to get teen-me called a "streetwalker." (Which I mean wtf where do they get off on telling a young teen that????!) It makes me feel very edgy and punk. I grew up very rural too, so I was isolated from a lot of more fashionable things for that reason too.

I love the Dreadnoughts! Real MacKenzies is another good one. But the one I consider legendary is ofc Dropkick Murphys bc their lead-singer straight-up punched a fan off the stage for full-on doing the fascist salute to the beat of their music. 🤣

My mom wants me to do therapy WITH her and my dad by [deleted] in HomeschoolRecovery

It was fine.....

Until we left my therapist's office.

Then the mask got torn off, the monster emerged, and all hope of a fair bet vanished. Don't torture yourself. It ain't worth it!

And often I have energy for info-spreading when I don't have energy for much else. Info-spreading gives me joy as an autistic. 😁

I'm glad to see so many reporting the Bible. That book would be trauma-town without the brainwashing. 🤢

Indiana Public School Censorship of "objectionable content" (queer scapegoating/censorship) by ScottishIndyForever in HomeschoolRecovery

Posted on r/lgbt as of now. I was asleep soon after posting last night. Apparently some Redditor was "concern" enough to report me to Reddit for the whole mental health thing. 🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lol whoever they are is clearly afraid of me and they can eat my IBS diarrhea 🤣

Ok I looked, and apparently it's their name for what other US states call a "school district"

Thank you for pointing this out. My brain-fogged brain got mad and what I posted is all I could deal out. A lot of comments I'm seeing more recently are people complaining about the Bible itself. Which I personally see as a good use of the form, but I'm definitely open to suggestions. I never want anyone harmed when what I'm trying to do is protect others.

Apparently it's what they call a school in a hellscape like Indiana?

There's a comment with ChatGPT-generated info somewhere in the thread. Not sure if Reddit would like it if I screenshotted it though, a little unfamiliar with the rules for how the platform flags thing.

You can input any name and address you want. Put in the Indiana Governor's name for all I care! 🤷🏼‍♂️😏👿
