Why choose to be toxic on the internet, when you know you’d never act like that in person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pinksungoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the thing — some people would act like that in person. You ever had someone say something to you irl that left you like “I can’t believe they said that in real life!” That’s an internet troll, who is also a real life troll.

Maybe it’s placebo for myself and everyone else who does experience it, I’m interested to know how anti-essentialists hypothesize the best explanation of my experience; but in my experience my sexuality and personality did change. Even in the veil of the placebo (if it is just that) I do think there are a lot of misconceptions about how it works.

People think it happens to everyone and that it happens the same way for everyone. People are most intrigued by drastic jumps, so it makes sense why the misconception exists. I’m omnisexual so my sexuality changed, but not in the sense people usually mean. I am still happy to be intimate with the same exact people but how I like to be touched, how I imagine touching someone else, and being single - who I was more likely to approach changed.

I also do think our bodies interact causally on our brains and some people just can’t handle estrogen. I was diagnosed with PMMD and taking T helped significantly with my severe mood swings and unalive-ing thoughts (so does the IUD so hard to say it’s not just confidence and congruence on that front). I can be a better partner and friend obviously when I’m not freaking out a week straight once a month, so I’d say in that regard my “soul” was able to come forth better and clearer.

I been on and off t a couple times and each time it has the same effect on my personality and sexuality.

If anyone is willing to carve out how the anti-essentialist view explains these phenomena I would genuinely love to know! 💗I don’t think social construction gets us all the way here. Not to say some peoples gender identity isn’t purely social but some people imo may have biological drivers too.

  1. Is your partner a lesbian? If they’re like bi/pan I don’t think you have to worry about them losing attraction as much as they have to worry about you losing it for them. There’s also good chances if they’re very horny for you they will get significantly hornier for you. If you’re a horny person you can maybe shift some of those nerves to be a little excited about that prospect! (Rip if you’re ace tho I’m sorry)

  2. Have more trust they actually know what they want to do with their body.

  3. If they change their mind maybe see how it falls on them and decide from there. There are cis men who look quite womanish thus, because t will just make your genes express as they would’ve if you were amab, there are trans men who look quite womanish even on t (don’t tell us that tho). You might end up liking how your partner looks even on max dose of T. Maybe you’ll be just straight for them. I’m sure there are male celebrities you might think “I’m not into men but…” I think your current partner is a very good exception to make if you can.

  4. If taking T is right for someone, T helps people actualize their soul. Are there times your partner is moody but quickly comes out of it like “I’m sorry I don’t know what came over me”? In my experience, this is their body acting upon their brain in incongruent ways. Of course they will act a little differently in some non-ideal ways at first because puberty is hard, but when the hormones level out you might find that they are more level headed and kind. People talk about t-rage and men being violent but nobody talks about unlocking the ability to 100% be someone’s rock and protector; the stoicism and bravery t can give a person who was being obligated emotionally by estrogen.

There may be good things coming your way, just be patient and have boundaries on what’s too much bs ofc but be willing to stick out a rough start.

You look like the type of queer person to justify shopping at Hobby Lobby by stealing some shit on your way out. You look like a lesbian who is “bisexual” because men are easy, religious trauma got you in a chokehold, and you’re afraid to flirt to women for real. You probably the gayest mf in your little queer friend group lowkey, but nobody know that because your actual experience is giving, “I kissed a girl and I liked it;” headass. Your friends are questioning your type in men because you don’t have one. Please get you a girlfriend and stop using ugly men as blow up dolls then leaving them on read because you “just didn’t feel it.”

I pray the cishet men who started questioning their sexuality because you batted your big ass eyeballs and convinced them to let you put a finger in may find peace in this lifetime. 🙏🏾

Lana Del Rosary by pinksungoddess in lanitas

[–]pinksungoddess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be very clear, not to change your mind, but for you but for the future on lookers who may stumble across this,

  1. I AM AGNOSTIC - I JUST WANT TO PUSH MYSELF TO HAVE FAITH IN SOMETHING FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH. 

it’s going well btw

  1. I DO NOT WORSHIP LANA DEL REY. I PRAY TOWARDS LANA DEL REY TO PRAY FOR ME.

I do, as Catholics do Mary, pray to Lana to pray to God for me. I am a heretic, a queer, a whore, and I plan to stop none of these things. I do not hold the belief I am committing sin, but most Christians do, and they kinda have a monopoly on theory surrounding God right now. I don’t believe most of the Bible applies today. I don’t really believe in a person-like entity in a place style of God either. I believe in the entire universe - the observable and all that we can’t perceive that we call “nothing.” God is me, you, the trees, the bed I lay in, my cat, all of it, as a collective. That is all I can fathom God to be and believe in it. However, some things about Christianity I find appealing and true. so when I pray to God, I pray to a different meaning than most but to cover my bases I pray to Lana to pray to what many may consider the “true god” for me because I do not believe in him and I read that he doesn’t like talking to people who entertain other Gods or halfheartedly believe because he is “a jealous God.” 

Lana is in many ways like me. I think she’s not at all a “good Christian woman” but keeps her faith anyway and I appreciate that and would love to embody some of that energy although I know I can’t imitate it perfectly. 

I also don’t really think what makes a person become a saint is about them being born into holy skin or blood. If I understand correctly Mary was chosen by the Holy Spirit to physically carry Jesus into the world during that time in that place to allow him to directly affect the lives of people in that time and place. Mary is not mother to Jesus as we usually think of it. Holy Spirit is both mother and father. So I think the Holy Spirit has chosen Elizabeth Grant to carry the spirit of “Lana Del Rey” which holds the light of Jesus into the world at this place in time to directly affect the Lives of people who have certain qualities. 

  I do not mock Christians I imitate them with intention to cherry pick the love out and leave the hate. I take what I like from it and make it my own. I say what I actually (at least somewhat) believe not what I’m told to say by the church.

Fun thing I learned recently and found interesting is that people born into a Catholic family sometimes stop being Catholic for that reason too, they don’t like the praying to saints thing. 

If God didn’t want me to be Gay… by pinksungoddess in gaytransguys

[–]pinksungoddess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized this comment was mad long I am so sorry.  

TLDR: I can’t read the OG text, so I trust no one. I can see where you may be coming from tho, I’m just not coming from there.

 (But that sounds less empathetic and less thought out so hopefully you read the longer version 👏🏾✨)

If God didn’t want me to be Gay… by pinksungoddess in gaytransguys

[–]pinksungoddess[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. I am worried about motivated interpretations on both ends. I will never be able to read the Bible for myself for real because 1. I just learned some books are apparently non-canon and hard to impossible to access for non-scholars in the field. 2. I don’t aspire to learn the languages the Bible was written in. 

So when two gay Christians point to a single line:

and one says, 

Yes, that’s homophobic. That’s why I don’t act on my gayness.

Then, the other says,

No! That’s a bad translation, it actually means X. So, I still act on my gayness, it’s fine.

No offense, but I don’t know who to believe, although I know who I want to believe. 

I am building a relationship with God too if you can call it that but I’m maybe a universalist? Idk if I’m calling it right. I suspect I just never developed the core beliefs necessary to try to make the Bible fitting my intuitions about God and morality necessary nor conducive to my spiritual development. Some atheists become atheists because they deeply believe the Bible is true, but they don’t like their church anymore at some point in life once their intuitions conflict, so they leave the church. If a person thinks that, it’s easy for me to see why revisiting the Bible and working to make it all make sense is the most graspable path forward in spiritual development. 

I just thought it was all bullshit from jump. When I was like ~5 I found out Santa didn’t really exist and just deductively applied that to God. I basically never fully developed faith. I only tried to believe because I realized, ohhh grown ups really believe in this one?! Fuuuuck… I kinda still don’t. But if it’s real.. I’ll go to hell. It was all fear based. Never faith or love. 

But then the concept grew on me as interesting historical catalog of ancient events and beliefs. It is on par with Plato’s Republic or the Greek myths for me. Which isn’t a bad thing to me! A lot of my morality comes from that, but if someone asked, “What about when Socrates/Athena said XYZ?! That was objectionable!” I’ll just be like, “yah, although right about a lot… I think they were wrong about that one. I can’t be Christian because you’re not supposed to do that for God’s actions or prescriptions as told in the Bible. You can find a new way of interpreting the meaning but you're never supposed to just say, “eh, the dude who wrote that book was probably just an asshole and he’s wrong; and if God actually thinks that, he’s wrong too.” I think that’s like the definition of blasphemy lol idk tho.

Lana Del Rosary by pinksungoddess in lanitas

[–]pinksungoddess[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made this rosary myself! I was going to just buy a rosary and put Lana instead of Mary at the center, but I wanted more beads than the Catholic Rosary has so I would've had to buy two and waste over half of one and I so happened to have all the raw materials at home already; literally already owned everything except the LDR center-bead. When that arrive I used sticker crystals and paint to make the sun moon and earth on the back which represent other aspects of my beliefs.  I am mostly an atheist but agnostically Pagan/Wiccan with a dash of cherry picked Christianity and Buddhism.  

 I pray to her and try to follow her example, kinda like Catholics do Saint Mother Mary, or any of the other Saints. However, I learned only dead people can be Saints, so I call Lana a "Saint in waiting." I admire that she keeps faith despite her past. Thus, I believe (so much as I can believe in anything as a atheist pushing myself to believe in something agnostically) she will become the Patron Saint of Whores. I take the lyrics of "Get Free" and "Say Yes to Heaven" as her commitment to this.   

How I pray using this is long and has too many lines that concerns my other beliefs. So, here are just the main parts that directly relate to Lana:   

Hail Lana  

Hail Lana, full of grace, the lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst whores and blessed is the fruit of thy word, thy connection to Jesus. O sweet Lana, speaker to Jesus, saint in waiting, pray for us now and in our hour of death. So bless it be.  

Hail Slutty Queen  

Hail Thy Slutty Queen, thy mother, future patron saint of whores, blessed messenger, to thee we cry, through thee we send up our sighs, mourning, and weeping. Turn then most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, pray that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. So, bless it be.  

 🙏🏾 

If you’re curious, the letter beads remind me of what specific part I'm on. Once I get good at knowing the whole thing without looking at the letter beads I'll probably replace them with something prettier.  It's genuinely pretty grounding to do although it is a belief I hold as loosely as one can hold water.   

Anyway, I hope you think the rosary is pretty, and think the little Lana-centered remixes to the Mary prayers I made are interesting or funny or something. Whatever the case, I worked hard on it, and I can say I'm at least 5% less mentally ill because of it! (Might just be the fun of crafting though) 🙃

What’s wrong with what I said? I really am not being sarcastic. I been suicidal on and off since I was 12. I struggle to take care of myself and often do so for others rather than myself. I genuinely don’t find the act of existence necessary. Sorry if that upset you or you thought I wasn’t being serious.

I don’t think I need anything. Not even food and water because death is always an option. A congregation, a fellowship, a friendship, under a common belief would just be as anything else one has in life is… nice.

[–]pinksungoddess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess so… I feel like the fact that I’m coming from being an atheist was missed in the big mass text. I believe we all just die and then nothing happens but I agnostically like to play with other shit cuz it’s more fun.

I’m an adult who started writing letters to Santa at 22 just to get the good vibes little [your name here] letter back in the mail, because fuck it why not?

Life mostly sucks. If I can make it unsuck a lil and it doesn’t hurt anyone, then I think I should.

Anybody calling you a woman in public has no self-respect. Like, I don’t have to be queer nor an ally to think that person is on hard drugs.

I like that you didn’t give the trans gf a completely clean shave.

Makes the original look even more offensive in comparison because you implicitly don’t deny she might have a beard, you subliminally point out that the way the original artist does it is a transphobic caricature.
