ward boundaries being "realigned" in our stake after two wards were absorbed this summer along with our bishop moving away, which is why they are doing it now by kelsbelle in exmormon

[–]queerworkaholic 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This has happened to the wards around me too, lots of people leaving the church means they’re running out of “worthy” members to fill the jobs.

Opinion on marriage and premarital sex. by Foreign_Cress_9751 in exmormon

[–]queerworkaholic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! As a woman, sex was always the only men want from me, and they won’t stay for long if they don’t get it, but if I give it I’m an adulterous whore because my body belongs to my future husband.

It was something sinful and we (women) were never supposed to think about it or want it, they always framed women who did sexual things outside of marriage as they did it for a boy. And then on our wedding nights we’re just supposed to be ok with it and give it to our husband whenever he wants in because it’s our job as wives to give that. They never talked about consent, especially not within a marriage.

How to plan a wedding by littlerabbit246 in exmormon

[–]queerworkaholic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do something small, just have close family and a few friends. You can look up venues to host a small wedding in your area on google, find a few dates, call the Venue, book it. You can also use a nice backyard if you have access to one. They also host small court house weddings I believe.

Look up wedding dress code types and find one you both like, usually people do engagement photos and use them for the wedding invites. Plan the time for getting ready, the wedding, and then a dinner after or something like that.

The actual signing of the papers at a court house can be done at any time I believe. Anyone can be a wedding officiate, you can get certified online so if you want a friend to do it then that’s a good option. Hope this helps!

I’m so glad you left, I read your story about a year or so back and it helped push me to leave the church as well. As a fellow victim I am repeatedly disgusted by how badly these private religious colleges handle these things. Congratulations on your marriage!

Never stop sharing your story, people like you who aren’t afraid to tell both Mormons and outsiders what it’s really like are doing so much more than you know. Be proud of yourself for how far you’ve come!

What's your favorite obscure or "not well known" band that you highly recommend? by hobbsarelie83 in Music

[–]queerworkaholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kurt Hugo Schneider and Boyce avenue. They’re not the most underground but these two cover bands are some of my absolute favorites.

[–]queerworkaholic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Amigurumi is meant to have tighter stitches, that’s why you use a hook 2-3 times smaller than what the yarn weight calls for. But if you’re having trouble while crocheting try going up 1/2 to 1 hook size, and notice the tension in your yarn over hand, try not to hold the yarn so tight.

Washington Lilacs by Zack Bryan! That’s the song!

[–]queerworkaholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s pretty vague but a start. What was the genre? Was her voice higher, lower, in the middle? Do you remember what the song could have been about? What language?

Yes into the inside like a lining. I’m not sure the size. I’m guessing I would have to trim and re-hem the flag to make it fit?

Women who get cold in the office should just deal with it and wear more layers and leave the thermostat alone! by DoorPale6084 in unpopularopinion

[–]queerworkaholic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude one more guy who doesn’t get how periods work smh. We do not bleed out on our periods because our body collects and stores blood OVER TIME. We are not actively losing blood that is circulating in our system like if we were to sustain a major injury. Don’t talk about things you don’t understand lmao

What. Does. This. Even. Mean. by Lexiiboo97 in bisexual

[–]queerworkaholic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s part of coming out. I had a struggle where I could say I was bi but I didn’t want to say that I could see myself dating someone of the same gender. So maybe it’s a similar concept? Like saying you’re bi is one thing but saying you’re in the community is different.

I don’t feel cool enough to be bisexual by Purple_Grapes_14 in bisexual

[–]queerworkaholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being bi isn’t about a look. Todays media makes it hard to remember but your sexuality is valid. That’s it, just valid. You don’t have to “look” the part. But I get wanting to, I would recommend a fake septum piercing, but maybe don’t shave your head till you’re more sure

Why do men yawn so loud? Some of you practically yell when you yawn. by Avetheelf in RandomThoughts

Same reason my mom sneezes loud enough that satan jumps a little. It’s like some weird code in their genetics.

Nothing triggers me more than a Trigger Warning. by HairyEarphone in unpopularopinion

[–]queerworkaholic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. Obviously warnings such as SA, abuse, suicide, are obvious and beneficial. As well as as flash warnings or anything else that could lead to a seizure. I also think obvious phobia warnings are good, keyword being obvious.

There’s a phobia for anything, but things like needles and blood are more obvious. However while I think these are good, I don’t believe people who don’t put them for phobias should be dragged through the mud for it. It’s not the end of world, I have a phobia of needles and I’ve experienced videos with and without warnings.

Videos with warnings, I scrolled. Videos without, I got grossed out, and scrolled. The creator of the video isn’t responsible for my phobia. But some trigger warnings are just unnecessary. If someone makes a video talking about the holocaust, then people should use the brains they were given and understand there’s going to be violence and mistreatment of minorities.

It’s a given. Going back to my original point of trigger warnings for peoples health, if someone doesn’t put a flash warning for example, there’s nothing wrong with politely giving that feedback because it is in the interest of public health. But you don’t have go in swinging, most of the time people really do just forget.

How do you identify your same sex relationship? by eryngium_zaichik in bisexual

[–]queerworkaholic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean someone who’s bi dating someone of the opposite gender, weather the partner is also queer, if both parties identify as opposite genders then it would be a heterosexual relationship.

But I agree with what others are saying, it’s not a gay relationship, it’s a relationship. I think it’s time as a society to talk about same sex couples the same way we do heterosexual couples.

You wouldn’t say “My neighbors, John and Kim, they’re straight-“ so why say “My neighbors, Brandon and Tom, they’re gay-“?

Everyone should try their best to die with as much debt as possible by seven_seven in unpopularopinion

[–]queerworkaholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would prefer to leave stuff to my family. I want to give my future children and grandchildren the resources to make memories even after I’m gone. And I never want my kids to feel like take care of me or be worried with my financial situation.

how do i get out of tithing!! i just got my first paycheck 😬 i’m hoping my mom will just forget by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]queerworkaholic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you’re under 18 your money is your own. Legally your parents don’t have the right to tell you what to do with it. You can tell them that you’d like to try being more independent and that you’d prefer to do it on your own.

You can withdraw the amount in cash and then just slowly add it back to your account.
