  • it feels like you are being lumped in with the worst of menkind for no good reason.

    Before I realized I was trans I also got super upset at being lumped in with bad men (although with an additional different reason that I didn’t understand at the time), and that feeling is absolutely terrible, because you’re basically getting shit on just for existing.

    From my perspective as a woman it seems like there are a lot of shitty dudes out there. After I realizing I’m trans it became a lot easier to notice misogyny since it now affects me. I did notice before, but when something affects you specifically you notice it a lot more. I also didn’t fully understand how weak women are compared to men until I started taking estrogen. Just being near a man I don’t know well or at all is very scary because of how easily he could overpower me.

    If I am getting a random bear vs a random man I would definitely take the bear just because I feel like the risk of getting a bad man is too high. If I could pick a specific man, I definitely would pick my father or a friend because I know they are good men and I feel safe around them.

    I think some outrage could have been avoided if the question was worded just a bit better, although I think part of why it got so popular is because of the outrage it caused.


  • I’m also ex-catholic. I left about 6 or 7 years ago, I don’t remember exactly when. For most of those years I’ve been an atheist and didn’t want anything to do with religion or spirituality at all.

    Recently I have been thinking more about spirituality and I have looked into paganism a fair bit. Idk exactly what I am but I view nature and the universe with the same reverence that one would give to a diety, although I don’t view them as being sentient or really personify them in any way, but I think there is something special about them and appreciating them satisfies me spirituality.
