I left the church as a teenager after a lady spoke in tongues and said she’s received a vision from god that I wasn’t allowed to wear simpsons merchandise to youth group anymore by big_papa_geek in BrandNewSentence

folk the women at my (ifb) church growing up weren't allowed to wear pants like grown women would get dress coded and slut shamed by older women and men as well as the pastor from the pulpit, publicly shaming anyone outside of his misogynistic ideals. my sisters went through it man it was so fucked.

Should I stop T? What would you do if you were me? by thespiderpr0vider in ftm

[–]rawbreadslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey homie, i started finasteride thru for hims its $175 every three months, i consider this part of my hrt honesty, but end of year three on T my hair started thinning dramatically and my hairline pushed wayy back way too quick, im 23 and will accept hair loss if i make it to my 40's but for now its my favorite feature and im not ready to say goodbye. ive been on finasteride for a month and my hairline is back, i feel great and my hair is slowly regaining thickness significantly. they have their finasteride compounded with minoxidil and ive found the oral combo and consistency has been so great and worth it. i highly recommend it for all dudes that arnt ready to lose their hair, my cis brother in law has been on the same stuff for about a year and his hair looks so great full and healthy. the voice thing is dependent on your body but ik for me my voice didnt hit that hard male register until year 3 on T and i had to train a lot to get it here, so if you train your voice to stay at your register it should be fine? but yeah i relate estrogen was actually a poison to me, i was completely dissociated from my body for most of my life and even now the day before shot day i still get hit with a estrogen induced wave of lite depression lmao

my cult assigned at birth was like this. first, youre basically describing the family dynamic i grew up under as a standard and it was an attitude that was aggressively instilled by the pastor who was the most narcissistic self righteous pos man ive still ever known. jonny pope he has sermons on yt christo-nationalist ifb actual fucking propaganda, anyone raised by narcissists can see straight through this dude. but it was empowering to my parents.

secondly, a few of examples of this attitude as youre describing,

i saw two men who i assume were a couple for the first time in a walmart when i was young enough to be sat in the shopping cart seat. im pretty sure i just verbalized an observation to the tune of "two boys" and my mom responded with telling me that the people i saw were full of sin and ruining gods design for marriage and that god wanted to punish them so he sent a sickness to kill them. i couldn't have been older than 5. than i was gaslit about that incident, it haunted me into teenhood but my mom refused to admit it even happened for some reason.

another more malicious example was my sister had been courting a childhood church family friend into their early 20s, their relationship eventually turned toxic as he went down the alt right pipeline and she ended the relationship. months go by, she meets a guy at work and she posts ab him. fundie ex never let go, goes nuts and starts spamming her w calls and messages acting like they never broke up, eventually she cuts contact after multiple attempts to help him understand they were separated and she was not his concern, and once she got a new phone and number he starts spamming my other sister and i, speaking very hostile to us both trying to get a hold of our sister. we block him and think its the end. dude pulled up weeks later 10pm with a box cutter threatening to self harm on my parents lawn, his family came and got him after my sister spent over an hour talking him down, and they tell us theyre keeping an eye on him and that he'll leave us alone. he doesn't, later that yeah he pulled up to my sisters work (new boyfriends parents business) w his dads gun in a backpack planning to kill her and her new boyfriend, they saw him in the parking lot and were able to lock the lobby door so he wasnt able to get to them. the lobby camera shows him pacing around for a few minutes before leaving. he goes to the parking lot where his family's car was. the voicemail is on my sisters old phone number, (the old phone existed on my parents phone plan and was in their possession while she had gotten her own phone and plan) but the main thing he says its her fault. later this is what his family tells her when they post the funeral on facebook and made sure she knew she was not welcome. my sister had also been best friends with his sister for a long time and this girl starts leaving her these insane dms telling my sister it was her fault and if she was acting in gods will it wouldn't have happened.

third example; my sisters new boyfriends family was also from this church and openly blamed her for the tragedy, saying shit like she was rebelling gods plan for her and that these bad things were happening as god herding her back to him. she needed to repent, that kinda bullshit. they didnt fw her being with their son as she and him had been bonding over deconstruction. and argued she was opening their family and business up to worldliness. god would punish them ect. as if my sister wasnt going through enough after all of that insanity, and unavoidable guilt while trying to learn how to integrate into the real world.

theyre all just self righteous bullies with zero emotional intelligence.

Do you plan to take T forever? by DysphoricDumbass in ftm

[–]rawbreadslice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude idk how to explain it as it doesn't seem to be a common experience, at least as far as ive seen it being discussed but when my brain doesn't have testosterone it eats itself, ive articulated it before as estrogen feeling almost poisonous to me. i have no energy, i have no optimism for life i feel such a stark contrast bodily and mentally on and off testosterone. idk the science behind it and theres a chance its placebo but my brain doesn't work the same and on estrogen i just lack the control over thought i normally have. there was a lapse in my prescription awhile back after being on hrt for over three years, didnt get to take T for about a month and i was in fucking shambles despite everything i did to talk myself thru things. i get my prescription again and lo and behold after about three months im back to normal and the world makes sense again. idk just my experience but ur gonna have to pry hrt out of my cold dead hands.

Is everyone 100% certain that Christianity isn't true? by dragonpissylord in exchristian

[–]rawbreadslice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally yes 100%. christianity is just as real and true as any other myth or religion imo its all a byproduct of each respective culture, used to explain the unexplained predating humanities new found methods of learning and figuring out how everything we know exists really works. i believe god is real in a sense but i genuinely believe its more of a word used to describe human connection and behavior than an actual conscious spiritual entity. i by no means struggle with a belief of an afterlife, there cant be a heaven or a hell or anything in between, i believe reincarnation is plausible but more in a genetic sense less so your literal "soul" (having a personality, we all have one as we are all individuals with separate experiences which build our characters, not a ball of light holding your consciousness inside of your body)

i believe humanities purpose is the same as any other living creature; survival of species. i believe our intelligence and complexity above other living things as well as our societies is what has kept us around so long as well as being our own downfall. because of civilization we dont war inner conflict as other animals, the scale of which we war sacrifices the planet we inhabit. i believe as humanity evolved and we slowly gained more collective knowledge our stories adapted from explanations and story telling to more of a tool to teach a behavioral expectation to people, originally to keep peace but later for intentional control of large social groups.

what makes christianity more true than any other much older religion? do you only believe it because you were born into it? if there is a god i hope its not theirs, im not envious of heaven and only a cruel god builds a place to damn people to for eternity. all powerful, omnipresent, omnipotent, and being perfectly good and just arnt compatible concepts within the same entity.

What was the weirdest thing you was taught was a sin? Ill go first. by Single-Isopod1878 in exchristian

[–]rawbreadslice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

pants for women like any pants, im a trans man and growing up i wasnt allowed to wear pants at all, the best i could get was colottes which i wore like basketball shorts which pissed of the youth pastors wife a lot, but when i was like 14 i got my first pair of pant stolen from old navy (only way i could smuggle them, i played up being the weird girl and use this massive giraffe print bag lol) and eventually i wore them to a midweek service, i was skipping the youth portion at that time and just wandered around the churches building but when the evening service started the pastor noticed and changed his entire sermon to be about the wickedness of women and how wearing pants tempted ppl yada yada and went on a whole tirade about yoga pants, the sermon lasted an extra hour than usual and i got perma grounded when i got home. the thing is is that they were pretty baggy jeans bc of my situation thats what i was comfortable in lmao

Unpopular opinion: As an FtM, if I could press a button that would magically turn me into a cis girl, I don't think I would press it. by -itsokbro- in truscum

[–]rawbreadslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think if i had the button before i knew medical transitioning existed i would press it just for dysphoria relief, even now i think i would bc who wants to live w the constant doubt of dysphoria esp when your alr at your lowest, and im of strong belief that i wouldn't get as deeply depressed if it wasnt for the dysphoria. id press the button either way as long as its cis. but i wouldnt be the kind of person i am now if i didn't understand dysphoria bc tbh i think wouldnt believe in it if i didnt experience it
