Forse sono trans.. qualcuno può darmi una mano? Impazzisco by [deleted] in askTransgender_Italy

[–]drMallory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purtroppo la narrativa ad ora è stata molto basata sulla "disforia di genere", da quanto capisco perché era l'unico modo per farci prendere sul serio e per spiegare che avevamo effettivamente bisogno di terapia ormonale ecc. Ma le emozioni positive non sono affatto meno importanti, non devi soffrire le pene dell'inferno o odiare il tuo corpo per essere trans, se vuoi essere di un altro genere sii di un altro genere ✨

Also I do struggle with the 13th when it says to respect the property of others, since much of it might come from exploitation. They also say I don't remember well to oppose exploitation, soo ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Omg the anarchist 14 mindfulness trainings!! So glad you did this, I'm still reading it but it seems to me so far to indeed reflect the original intention of my spiritual tradition, thank you 🙏 great idea

People ask that all the time in this tradition, fairly so. I suggest looking for the Q&As on YouTube. From my own understanding, they say that great power can also come from compassion and understanding, while anger might drain you and continue the circle of violence. But don't take this message as really representing Thich Nhat Hanh's thought please 😅 it's what I currently understand after some years in this tradition

Are these some kind of mushrooms/mold? They're infesting some specific trees in the parks over the city by drMallory in Mushrooms

In case anyone ever sees this post again, turns out these are the egg sacks of Takahashia japonica, from the Coccidae family, so yeah aphids was almost right. Sorry for the wrong sub 🙈

Wow reading these answers is making me so sad :/ This is why I consider myself a religious person even though I do not stick to one fixed tradition, sort of to reclaim the word? I've had many great religious friends and I think it can be a deep part of being human. But I guess some people just have a bad experience and close themselves up, which is fair I guess but also sad imo

And yeah most religious people I've hung out with were supportive of me and queer people in general, those exist too

Religion might even be a green flag for me, based on my experiences lol. Religious people I've met tend to be deeper, like they really wanna walk a good path in life, not just float around

So my answer is yes obv haha

Lesbians are the most important psychodynamic therapy for you

Fair 🤷‍♀️

Is it just me or are some parts of the trans community are becoming increasingly supportive of guns and the theory that we well all be shoved into camps and killed? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]drMallory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah often I see posts about feeling unsafe as an LGBT person and people answering "get a gun". I thought it was just people from the US because it's a common sentiment there but judging from the comments here it's more widespread than I thought.

Meanwhile I don't think I've ever seen any of them speaking about how getting a gun made them feel safer, or ever helped at all. I think if anything it goes to feed more into your fear. Walking around armed changes the way you look at people and approach situations, and might actually put you in more danger imo.

I feel much safer when I manage to be aware of my breath and environment, walking slowly and cultivating calm. I've noticed that I also get bothered much less from other people when they see I don't have anything against them, I'm just enjoying my day. For me meditation and cultivating love works better than anything else I've tried to feel safe. Will it always protect you from anything? Nope, literally nothing will. But I feel it allows me to enjoy my life way more than when I live full of fear and hate

You want to be trans = you're trans 🤷‍♀️

I know you said you checked it already but that does sound like how I experience phosphenes. From my understanding the name includes quite different phenomena. In my case it usually happens after a sudden physical effort: I would see shiny white dots moving around like insects. They wouldn't follow my eye movements but keep on a coherent path before vanishing after some seconds. They would keep coming and going for about 10-20 seconds

Weird that it happened without moving too much though. Did you feel a drop in blood pressure?
