struggling with the knowledge that i will lose my parents when i come out.

sure, they've been awful, and yes, they are abusive and controlling and have brought me grief. yes, they are stubbornly rooted in bigoted, heartless, cult beliefs. they're still my parents, though. i still want them at my college graduation. i still want to call my mom. i still want to see them at christmas. i still want them to love me, and i know they won't.

christian love is conditional and i will never be their son. they will cut me off.

i wish, sometimes, that i could suppress myself. i wish i could hide my identity forever. i wish i could live without transitioning. i can't. i can't go on without being who i am. i can't go by a name that doesn't fit. i can't stay in a body that makes me miserable. i have to exist.

it breaks my heart, but i am never giving in and i'm never changing who i am.

I wish all closeted LGBTQ+ people a very happy pride month.

kids who werent raised christian being like "lol baptising children is whack if they tried to do that to me i would start doing things to make it look like i was possessed" no you would not. you would bask in the pride and approval coming from the adults around you and you would quietly wait your turn because you were told from birth that sinning sends you to hell and baptism is The Promise that youre dedicating your life to jesus that youve had hyped up for years and watched other people be fawned over as they cry happy tears about it and you do NOT want to fuck up your One Big True Promise To Love Jesus Forever So You Don't Get Tortured For Eternity when you are literally 8 years old. im begging yall to remember its a thousand times easier to see the church's bullshit for what it is when you're not actively in the church. eight year old you is not thinking about trying to fight back against an oppressive religious group indoctrinating children because You Are The Children Being Indoctrinated. stop acting like you would've magically known better if it were you.

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
