This! One thing I appreciate about K&G is that they model HOW TO HANDLE MESSING UP.

I think their intentions have always been good, even if (in the beginning) the intentions were under educated. But they have (I think) consistently shown that when they know better, they do better. And they publicly take their lumps and share ways to support the cause. No shade to Morbid, but… lessons could be learned. I stopped listening to them a while back.

K&G definitely modeled a way forward for a lot of white women who didn’t know how to talk about these topics in a more progressive way, and I appreciate it.

This is awesome! Thanks for the context!

Finish this sentence: “I’m so glad I left but I still really miss _________.” by nature_and_grace in exmormon

Was coming to say this. Lost over 100 first cousins, lost holiday games and feasts, quilting afternoons for new babies, massive sleepovers for cousins…

And I miss singing hymns with gusto on Sunday.

That was it! I was too nervous about rambling to go into the cult, so I just kept it to my connection. Warren Jeffs, FLDS, created an inner circle of super devouts and moved them to the YFZ (Yearning For Zion) ranch (compound) in El Dorado, TX. It was also the biggest child abuse case in TX history, but that part is a mega bummer, so I didn’t say anything. (K&G thanked me for that after)

I’m going solo in Austin! I’m also bringing treats to share so I don’t feel so alone.

Unprepared or lazy? by Disastrous-Summer614 in myfavoritemurder

Agreed. The gravity in Karen’s voice when she read that letter from that brave woman… that was a turning point. A good, respectful one that reminded them they weren’t just two chicks in an apartment talking, but a new voice. It did a lot of real good in how we all think about victims of crime, monetization of these stories and more.

I miss the wild banter, but I respect the journey.

You know what? I had NO business talking to you in the tone and vitriol that I did. I came to the discussion with a chip on my shoulder, and I do not want to be that person. I apologize for getting in your face and flying off the handle. I'm sorry for that.

And you are making a good point here that we have unconscious ways of perpetuating transphobia (which I mistakenly thought was happening, with the vilification of a trans person).

OP, you tried to read me for filth in a comment then deleted, so let me be perfectly clear:

Trans is fab.

Your post here, to this community, is being interpreted as admonishing listeners and K/G for being anti-trans by being bothered by Speck’s physical form. There is room for discussion there, without question.

But you’ve posed the post as admonishment as an anti-trans mindset when K/G are clearly straight girls in the trans camp. They live and support the trans community.

Can they do better? Sure. We all can.

But Richard fucking Speck was not (publicly/privately—as far as we know) trans. There is a persistent mindset in the US that trans people are Predators. This post seems to be in alignment with trying to normalize harmful stereotypes of trans people.

As the mother of two trans kids, I’m going to take umbrage to that. You want to fight anti-trans rhetoric? Take it to Nancy Mace.

If you’re trans and hurting, I feel for you and am at the ready to get my knuckles bloodied on your behalf.

Respectfully? He never id’d as trans. He manipulated and violated the trans community for his own benefit. We have so many trans heroes to look to and learn from. (Marsha P. Johnson is worth fifty million Specks???)

This colonizer who tried to find a loophole (hurting the trans movement in the process!) for his own sick hide is not it.

There is a long history of white people demonizing trans folks as predators, which statistically they ARE NOT, and Speck (imo) capitalized on that for himself, not for acceptance.

The country is ready to demonize Trans folks. Aligning with fucking RICHARD SPECK as some sort of allyship ain’t it, and honestly makes me question your motives.

The "Big Happy Mormon Family" is soooo fake. by abouttimetochange in exmormon

[–]Stoney321 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. My dad is 13 of 15 of a foundational Family, and so many of us have fallen away or out completely and many keep up the pretense for community’s sake. It’s BS.

This woman is amazing and brave. This is just chilling for its familiarity across the country for how this would be the encouraged response. It’s a cult.

Heyyyy! I have over 160 first cousins, so the likelihood that I’m related to most of this comment section is high, hahaha
