I’m not immune to homophobia and transphobia. I still grapple with this personally. Every time I try clothes that “look wrong,” or speak in a way that’s against the norm, I feel the disgust rise up. The difference is awareness. I see it. I name it. I keep going anyway. Because I know the fear is coming from my abusers, not from my own inner truth. Someone who’s truly phobic won’t even question why they are disgusted or afraid. —- Removing he/him isn’t “identity politics.” It’s trauma work. Those pronouns were tied to dysphoria, punishment, and a version of boyhood/manhood that never belonged to me. Hearing them didn’t affirm — it pushed me back into a role that hurt me. I don’t hate men. I hate that I was expected to be one. I hate that I was performing a role just to survive. Choosing different pronouns is choosing safety, not ideology.

When you give an institution moral authority over children, the ones who don’t fit the script get crushed. The institutional script assumes conformity = health, and anything outside that becomes pathology to be corrected rather than difference to be understood.

No more being a slave to others’ assumptions about me.

Truth is priceless ✨🦋

Austin is great . They got high quality healthcare providers that cover all my needs.

Just dew it. Over and over and over again and again and again.

Couple’s therapy went great. I am becoming more vulnerable with them. Even discussing the God stuff now

I contemplated this one earlier. Thanks.

Our entire planet is contaminated. There is no real escaping it. Even the people making analysis are probably contaminated too, so their thinking is also contaminated.

How old are you? If you don’t want to give a specific age you can say something like 50s.

US has a lot to offer, even to enemies. Look at Kim Jung Un he loves the NBA

Happy 2 Year Anniversary

You joined 7 years ago, what made you decide to finally post now? My question has been telepathically answered ^.^

We are in a much better position compared to a year ago. It’s like upgrading from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4.

What did she awaken to?

I am allergic to conformity.

There was a new user on the forum who posted a phenomenon substack here: @Beyond Illusion do you plan on posting more content on substack?

Journaling and social media presence publicly have been powerful tools for me the past couple years. Even if it’s an illusion of connection, it feels less lonely than doing it solo in a cave. I do solo journal some things, but most of my focus is public facing. I can’t safely be myself authentically IRL, so online is the closest thing I have. Online I can be vulnerable about psychological baggage, my biases, the raw unfiltered way I actually think. IRL I’m still learning to advocate for my disability, trans identity, and translogical way of being. Expressing myself publicly online lets me practice saying what I’ve been hiding my whole life; it’s rehearsal for living fully out loud. Beans and I both use our exact legal names online and in person because we wanted to merge both identities together, no longer hiding behind online pseudonyms. My online identity is training me to show up authentically when I can’t yet do that safely IRL.
