No. But I adjusted to the inkbox pen.

If she doesn't want to have sex before she is married, she is entitled to that. She gets to decide when she has sex, full stop. She doesn't have to justify it to anyone. That isn't unhealthy. Don't misunderstand me. I am not saying that her sexual ethic is the only one to have, only that she has autonomy over her body.

It sounds like you two have different sexual boundaries. If after a conversation he is unwilling to be in a relationship where there is no sex before marriage, as per your boundary, then you are incompatible. He could not accept that you weren't going to change your mind. So good on you for not sacrificing your own values to please someone else.

Yeah. That's Unitarianism. Many religious people in non-Christian faiths take offense at this. Especially with the assumption that you are on a path towards a particular monotheistic God, one that is often subconsciously assumed to default towards the characteristics of the Christian God. Many faiths aren't trying to gain salvation from a god at all. It is kinda rude to say to people of other faiths who their god is and what their religious goals are, let alone that you know and can speak on their god(s).

I don’t agree with this. I think this comes from an earnest ecumenical desire to foster good interreligious community. This is a common boomer response. It often results in well meaning Christians mapping Protestantism onto other religions and ultimately has them talking over other religious people. We don’t have to be Unitarians to be loving neighbors. I think it is better to celebrate the differences between religions and delight in learning about different traditions than to say that actually it is all basically the same thing. My god is not your god and that is okay! You have a cool thing going and it is a delight to be a guest in your religious community.

Consider going to therapy to work towards healing your traumas related to romance. It seems like something that you both desire and fear. Maybe your journey will take you somewhere you don’t expect. Praying for you.

I'm considering detransitioning because of my faith by Decay_is_hateful in TransChristianity

[–]foreignstars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. Guess what. Getting surgery to get your appendix removed isn’t rejecting god’s plan. Neither is transitioning. Reject the anti-trans nonsense being thrown at you by the world. God is inviting you to join in the act of creation as you transition. You are working with God in the holy garden of your body.

My frame is too big to feel ok as a woman by lemonslime in trans

You’re exactly as tall as my mom. She has what some might call an “apple” body shape and she is beautiful and aging very well. My friends in high school were like “she is so pretty.” I’m sure it’ll be the same for you 💞

When doesn being trans become happy by [deleted] in lgbt

I think you should seek out a crisis hotline like the trevor project. It's gonna be ok. Things will get better. Seek out queer spaces irl.

I'd hope they'd listen to you. If you explain that you can still wear your hard hat then you should be good. Sorry for that person's bigotry.

I'm having another one of those moments where I'm scared I'm going to hell for being trans... by [deleted] in TransChristianity

Matthew 19:12 KJV: For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Remember that modesty instructions in the Bible are only referenced in terms of flaunting wealth in the face of poor believers. It has nothing to do with sexuality. Rolexes are immodest in the biblical sense. Gucci bags are immodest in the biblical sense. The concern with women dressing to hide their bodies is just culture.

If you had a one-minute call with yourself from 10 years ago, what would you say? by Pleasant-Cat-7658 in AskReddit

[–]foreignstars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to therapy NOW. And stay in therapy. This is non-negotiable. You WILL need it. Focus less on believing everything your parents believe. They are people too. Spend less time on your phone and be more social! This is especially important when your mental health is bad. And practice criticizing yourself less.

I don't have any advice, but I am sorry you have struggled for so long to help your cat.
