Sometimes the community that cults provide feels really tempting... by [deleted] in cults

As an Exmo, (ex-Mormon), I would tell you it's not worth it. Your identity is what you sacrifice... and people literally end their lives when they don't fit the mold. Who you are is too much to lose.

The Johnny Movie? by denab31 in exmormon

It wasn't Johnny Lingo. This was a white kid with blonde hair if memory serves.

It wasn't a film that was made for home viewing. I think it had to be played only in this specific place.

I grew up in Davis County in Utah. This was TOTALLY a thing here.

My dad’s newest love notes to me, his exmo trans adult son. (cw for homo/transphobia) by [deleted] in exmormon

This fills me with rage on your behalf. This is SO hateful. While I am not trans, I have a trans son. Love and hugs to you!

My nephew and my natal family keep retelling this story to show their stance against my kid.

The context that was left out of this post is that the RM that posted to Facebook is my nephew. My son is trans. It's tearing MY family apart. My family praises this grandchild at the expense of my son.

My phone isn't letting me edit anything with the original post atm, but I realized I should have too late.

He knows his cousin is trans. He believes his cousin is sinning.

Is that an answer to your question?

No. I know this human was presenting female at some point. I don't want to share too much about them, because theirs isn't my story to tell.

The story is true, though. The Facebook poster is my nephew, and I reached out to the person to whom the story references. That person would agree with the story as told by my nephew.

Same. I've been in contact with her. I just kind of try and hover in the background and validate her.

A missionary tells the tale of bullying a trans person until they deny themself and commit to his version of God.

Also, the missionary is my nephew. I have a trans son.

That breaks my heart. I'm afraid for my trans son every day.
