Okay Tc it probably won't even make you happy long term. You'll just feel empty. Stop using my correct view of reality to undermine the truth. I don't like trans before and after being a Christian. You know why? Because when I was little I thought I wanted to be a man. I thought the "grass was greener on the other side". I keep hearing that men are treated better than women, that it's a "man's world". In some dreams I'm a man and some I'm a woman.
Then I realized... I don't identify with any gender. This is just a body and I'm a soul. This is like a car model that God gave me for a good reason. If it gets me from point A to point B it's good. Bodies are just temples and you are the soul inside.
The way you feel... You are a soul inside of a body. You'll never really associate with it. Because you're an eternal being meant to be in the image of God.
Ahaha...... Lol. Ha. Ha. Ha.
Feathers, you're so... Amazing. It's incredible, really. I just can't get enough of your posts. Carry on like I didn't reply at all. But really feel I could fall in love with you if I didn't logically understand the problems with total nutjobs. You're even more fun than Alice
Apparently to you a nutjob is just someone who believes in God. Hard to take you seriously when you think the majority of the human population is nutjobs. Atheists *newsflash* are in the minority.
As the other commenter mentioned... Delusional is thinking your another gender than the gender of your body (and wanting to change reality to fit the delusion).
Pls don't insult Alice. She's my friend.
Atheists are definitely minority.
500 million and growing's not bad. It used to be a more visible minority, but the numbers keep changing against Christianity's favor as we advance further into the future.
I'm still curious how space travel and The Singularity will affect future faiths.
I've been through gender dysphoria before when I was younger. Knowing the difference between male and female later convinced me I was male; still carried some thoughts that I should have been the other gender since birth, because of feelings relating to disapproval from parents of my birth gender.
What kinds of thoughts if you don't mind me asking?
Some thoughts were given "we wanted a girl, your name would have been ******"
Huh, I never thought about how that could affect someone with young age desires.
My folks never did the name thing... and now I find myself at a loss for what to rename myself.
I thought that the differences in male and female was just breast, and the persona attached. Being young it made sense I had no breast yet, and I would actually argue that perhaps I was actually female. I began mentally contorting myself to change outside habits to act more female in nature.
Is there something wrong with this though?
I don't even want to be a chick to do Bimbofication or whatever, I want to be myself as a feminine form. I can understand the argument that one ought to not try to act outside of their own natural behaviors (your use of the phrase "mentally contorting"), but I plan to otherwise still be myself within this 'new' body.
I'd also reflexively cover my chest if I had no shirt on, as if I had shame for breasts.
...yeah I'm like that too. Nipples feel revealing and running around shirtless like the other bros feels weird even when I'm in good shape. Neither of us even have anything to hide about it either, no weird scars, no mutations, no beer gut, no manboobs, the shame is purely in our heads.
I don't like it, and I don't see why I have to accept walking around as the shape I was born to be when we're now presented with options.
Are they good options that can possibly exceed expectations? (Lowering expectations is not a healthy counter) easy yes, or no.
Physically speaking, if I have to be an imitation of a woman or a legitimate man, I'll take the imitation and try my damndest to fit it from how much "being a man" feels MORE like pretending.
It's like picking my poison; I'm inauthentic either way, so I might as well pick the one that (stands to) make me happy, and if it fails I feel like I'm letting go of less than other people's sentimentality makes it out to be. I don't feel like I'm letting go of much, as my history, my beliefs, and about 95% of my consciousness will remain the same. No matter how much estrogen I do for example, I will remain a Puyo Puyo Pro.
