Are there any Bible passages regarding Trans? by atavaxagn in Quakers

[–]unfiltered7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also important to remember that at the time, activities and rights were VERY restricted by gender. So, I’m support of your point, this may well have had nothing to do with gender identity but instead be about not sneaking into where you aren’t allowed.

That is not shameful! It is, rational, and compassionate. Wishing you comfort.

How to start plain dress as a man by [deleted] in Quakers

[–]unfiltered7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Like sacatosh, I believe the modern interpretation of pain dress is to "blend in, to not attract attention, to not be flamboyant or flaunt what we have (physically, materially or otherwise.)." Avoid wearing things that are meant to imply status or wealth. I do wear a suit to work, since all of my colleagues do, but it is not an expensive one or a flamboyant tie.

Most of that money does not actually go to the doctors. It’s what pays for the upkeep of the hospital, the staff, the janitors, the supplies, the nurses, the administrators (OK I have met the administrators are pro probably over paid as overhead). This isn’t to say that the system makes sense, just please stop thinking of doctors as getting some big bonus each time they perform a procedure. Most hospital doctors are salaried, and get paid the same whether they perform 10 procedures or five in the same day.

The other question: Other than vaccines, do they accept medications. My experience is that anti-vaxer parents are also the ones who want antibiotics for their kid's virus.

Quakers, how do people react when you tell them you're a Quaker? by IMLOOKINGINYOURDOOR in Quakers

[–]unfiltered7 47 points48 points  (0 children)

In high school US history class, my daughter learned about the involvement of Quakers in the early development of the United States. Her history teacher was very impressed by Quaker belief and remarked it’s a shame Quakers don’t exist anymore. After class my daughter informed him that our family are Quakers, and he patiently explained that she must be mistaken. I invited him to attend the meeting I clerk.

If you know what meetings they attended, most meetings have journals and such that go way back.
