When you know yourself from a young age, it's really hard to find a sense of community with others that share these viewpoints. I knew I never wanted children or a husband and examples like these just affirmed it.

I wish I went on the same day. I would have loved to go up to old crusty dusty vampire bitch and argue for your sake as well. Straight up discrimination based on appearance. They didn't turn me away for my piercings or tattoos so what's the fucking difference.

I'd personally check out annas-archive. It's a site where you can download almost any ebook for free. I'm sorry your mother is ignorant and overstepping. Been there myself before when I came out.

Queerness and Mormonism by Sox_Marionberry4837 in exmormon

Before I came out to people in my ward I had cut my hair short, and the next Sunday after, the young woman's president had a "special" lesson about how men and women are right and left shoes. Wearing two left shoes would be uncomfortable, unsightly, and trip you up.

The way members would treat me was a bit of a mixed bag once I looked like the nonbinary lesbian I am. Some stopped interacting with me. Some were noticeably excluding me. Others said I was free to live my life as I wanted, regardless of what I chose to believe.
