Trans Sports Deciding to transition in a transphobic society can be an act of self-love and self-acceptance, similar to accepting being gay in a homophobic society. I've transitioned and I'm not at war with myself. I'm increasingly accepting that I wasn't born cisgender. I'm also on a journey to understand reality and to become as truthful about it as I can be. As a trans person, the inner work I had to do was not accepting my sex assigned at birth and the gender associated with it; it was accepting that I wasn't born cisgender and that my body didn't match how I felt inside. My work was to accept myself as I truly was. It was not to accept myself as a girl and keep living as such when it was clearly untrue to me; it was to accept myself as a person born in the wrong body and to accept transitioning to align my body with my mind. I have to accept scars, the lack of male sex organs, as well as other things related to being trans, but top surgery and HRT have completely transformed the relationship I have with my body and with myself. It has helped me become a more secure and grounded person in ways that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. That is not the full picture of what accepting reality entails for a trans person. This whole matter is not as black and white as you depict it to be. I'm not denying that some people transition for the wrong reasons or that surgery or the use of chemicals can be misused and overused in various ways. But a transition can also be a very thoughtful process, a process towards self-love and authenticity. Generalizing that all trans people are at war with themselves, have unstable minds, and can't understand reality is just wrong. This narrative applies neither to me nor to many other trans people. I certainly am not perfect, but I am on a journey towards deeper love, deeper acceptance, and deeper understanding of reality. I've been seriously engaged in spiritual work. I worked through a lot of things just to know that transitioning was necessary for me. Being trans does not amount to being that kind of person you describe. I encourage you to watch this video, just to broaden your perspective. The author is trans, yet he's mature, grounded, loves reality, loves his life, loves his body.

I'm not an activist myself and I deeply care about fairness for everyone. So of course, trans women shouldn't play sports with cis women since they have a clear advantage.

If she's open to it, meeting with a medium after some time to try to contact her mother could be of much help. We've done so when my grandmother passed away and it was really helpful. The contact went very well and it helped ease the pain a lot. The medium however needs to be really good. One sign that they're good is that they won't ask any question about the deceased person and will provide very specific details that are impossible to guess, while making hardly any mistake or approximation. Even if it's not for now, just knowing it’s a possibility can already bring some comfort and reassurance, as she might be able to get answers to some of her questions someday, and simply have one more contact with her mother.

12 mg → 17 mg → 20 mg → 25 mg → 30 mg. It was over a three-month period, but it didn’t need to be that long. I was discovering 5-MeO-MALT at the same time and didn’t have much free time.

@Davino Thanks for sharing! Is anyone else using alternatives to Liquify-Pro? It's not as easy to get in Europe.

@Oppositionless Thanks for your input, that really helped clarify things.

@Oppositionless Thanks a lot. I'd like to figure out both methods, ideally. Do you know specific models of vape carts that work well?

So, if I understand correctly, a simple vape cart with juice works well for THCA and 5-MeO, while e-mesh devices are mainly used for DMT? Do you know why an e-mesh without juice wouldn’t be good for THCA or 5-MeO? What do you think works best between something like a Lookah Seahorse and an e-mesh setup?

I've been reading a lot of threads about vape setups and I'm still a bit confused about the different technologies. I was hoping some of you could help clarify a few things. From what I've seen on the forum, people seem to use several types of devices: E-mesh setups with a box mod (like Aegis Solo + mesh RDA) Dab rigs or e-rigs for concentrates Vape tanks with e-liquid Wax / concentrate pens At first I thought an e-mesh setup could be used for DMT, THCA isolate and 5-MeO-DMT, but now I'm not sure if that's actually the case. Here are some questions I'm trying to understand: - Are different types of vaporization devices better suited for different substances? - Is e-mesh considered a general-purpose vaporization method, or is it mainly useful for specific compounds? - When people here talk about rigs or concentrate vapes, how are those different from a box-mod + RDA setup? - Are there reasons someone would choose a dab rig or e-rig instead of an e-mesh setup? I'd be grateful for any clarification or shared experiences.

What kind of brain functions were impaired from this? Did you use 5-MeO or any psychedelics again after that? Were there any warning signs beforehand, like the trips starting to feel even more taxing than usual?

How did you realize you had cerebral inflammation? What were some of the symptoms of this condition?

Thanks, I think I was missing that. I understood Truth as ultimate reality and truth as what is true, but I didn’t know that it could also encompass the idea of being truthful, caring about truth, living truthfully, and using the mind in truthful ways. I’ve been trying to understand this for a long time, but it never clicked for me, no matter how many times I heard you use the word. I think part of the reason is that I assumed those ideas would normally be expressed in short sentences, like in the examples above, rather than implied by a single word.

I still don't fully understand. So when you write "truth" in the blog post, are you using it as a synonym for Truth?

How Elite Corruption Works Leo, I've been wanting to ask this really basic question for a long time. It may sound a bit silly, but I've been wondering what the word "truth" naturally means to you as an English speaker? In French, the word "vérité" usually refers to what is true. So I’ve been reading the word "truth" with that same meaning, but it never seems to fully fit the way you use it. So I was wondering whether "truth" carries a deeper or broader meaning in English. For example, do English speakers naturally connect it with intellectual honesty and an effort to avoid manipulation, self-deception, and bias? Or does it mostly refer to what is true, like in French? If it actually carries that kind of meaning, it would completely transform the way I've understood it. It would also explain why the way it's used has always felt a bit off to me.

I think he deserves the death penalty.
