Petition to refer to TERFs as FARTs, which stands for Feminist Appropiating Reactionary Tranaphobe
This is EXTREMELY real. I would have people regularly tickle or touch me even if I told them not too. Once a teenage boy around my age essentially chased me becuase I wouldn't let him pat my shoulder and no one said or did anything.
Your wishes and autonomy aren't respected because wittness aren't allowed to be people. Just "one of Jehovah's Wittnesses"...
hate hate hate the jw greeting of physical contact. i dont want to hug 30 plus people every single meeting ugh. even worse is when youre walking past someone and they like squeeze your arm or rub your back like no!! i dont want that!! please!!
to be honest its most not about the touch (though when im already overwhelmed and stressed it doesnt help) but my lack of autonomy.
i feel like i cant say no. i feel like i have to hug everyone and i hate it so much. sure, i could refuse, but i know id be made to feel bad by the jw wanting one.
idk i just wish i could go to a meeting without getting touched for once
listen i love vine and i’m so sad to see it go
I'm learning that being in a high control group has made me a fantastic actor. I had doubts for years and while I felt a lot of guilt, I also just couldn't make myself feel or act how I knew I was excepted to. So I leaned hard into the shy sweet girl archetype. Sure they think I'm at least 5 years younger than I am, but I can do the bare minimum and ignore uncomfortable topics out of "nervousness".
The real me is opinionated, blunt, and consistently makes jokes. My family will tell others this, but they don't often believe them. It goes unquestioned and gives me some freedom. Still, I will be extremely relieved when I can retire the role.

A moment of light during the siege
Enemies to lovers but it's two people who go from being mormon and jw to exmormon and exjw
it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.
I really do wish people would stop giving me things. It makes me feel very guilty, because I know I’m going to leave them and take some of those things with me. I feel like I’m using them even though I know they’re using me.
Emotions are fun.
terfs/radfems go fuck yourselves lmao
