(i ripped this off wikipedia real fast so sorry if it’s lib)
In October 1776, the Public Universal Friend contracted an epidemic disease and was bedridden and near death with a high fever. Their family summoned a doctor from Attleboro, six miles away, and neighbors kept up a death-watch at night. The fever broke after several days. The Friend later reported that [deadname redacted] had died, receiving revelations from God through two archangels who proclaimed there was “Room, Room, Room, in the many Mansions of eternal glory for Thee and for everyone”. The Friend further said that [deadname redacted]'s soul had ascended to heaven and the body had been reanimated with a new spirit charged by God with preaching his word, that of the “Publick Universal Friend”, describing that name in the words of Isaiah 62:2 as “a new name which the mouth of the Lord hath named”.
From that time on, the Friend refused to answer to their deadname, ignoring or chastising those who insisted on using it. When visitors asked if it was the name of the person they were addressing, the Friend simply quoted Luke 23:3 (“thou sayest it”). Identifying as neither male nor female, the Friend asked not to be referred to with gendered pronouns. Followers respected these wishes; they referred only to “the Public Universal Friend” or short forms such as “the Friend” or “P.U.F.”, and many avoided gender-specific pronouns even in private diaries. When someone asked if the Friend was male or female, the preacher replied “I am that I am”, saying the same thing to a man who criticized the Friend’s manner of dress (adding, in the latter case, “there is nothing indecent or improper in my dress or appearance; I am not accountable to mortals”).
editorial note: I think this is a very cool story and I really love hearing it. We’ve been around forever and we’ve been doing variations of this forever. It’s really beautiful

Cousin was making bracelets and one of them is trans colors by his own description of it. <3
I like to lick up individual popcorns with my tongue
Transphobia, misgendering
Cissies will hear me say I’m a woman, I go by she/her, and will correctly gender me once then never again. Unlimited forced transition on the cis
venting anxieties about sibiling's potential dysphoria
To set some background, my sibiling came out as non-binary a couple of years ago. They were 8 at the time. To this day, that is still how they feel. However, things have been changing for them recently, and while I’ve had thougts before, I’ve become increasingly concerned since I started my own transition. I think that they’re feeling dysphoria, and I’m going to try having a serious conversation with them about how they feel towards growing up on T. They’ve already told me they’re afraid of, and don’t like looking in mirrors, and they still mostly look like a kid. They have started growing more body hair, and a small amount of facial hair, and I think that may be getting to them. They’ve told me they don’t want that. I’m sorry I’m rambling, but I’m worried they’re going to go through a puberty they don’t want to go through, and they’re not going to realize they can so something about it until they’re older (like me).
I’ve brought up puberty blockers with my parents, but despite how good they are with most things, they seem to be against doing that. I intend to bring up HRT with my sibiling, but considering they might not know what they want for themselves, I don’t want to seem pushy, nor do I want to get them on something they won’t like.
Sorry, but I really had to vent. I don’t even know how this relates to any of you, or myself, at all, but I needed to voice my concerns to somebody without getting into an argument about someone else’s body.
Feeling really burnt out today for the first time in a while. Hope I get thru this rough spot soon.
Are there people who are genuine fans of KSI’s music or is it mostly just a meme?
My sister stole my eyeliner and I have no idea where she put it
She was like “Oh, I borrowed your eyeliner today, look at how good it is!” and I was like “that’s good” while thinking to myself that she took it from me and used it before I got the chance to. At least I know it’s good eyeliner
Wore a skirt in front of my mother in law for the first time today and I could see her see it and then pointedly not acknowledge it. Why is this the most common reaction that I get? It’s maddening
hey can i post some weird rant about potentially dating a poly person later?
i don’t know why i make it sound like i’m asking. i’m going to do it anyway and i’m just posting this to remind myself for later
I feel so wide all the time, but I think everyone might just be wider than I think and I have BDD
thirtymilliondeadfish has had there social position, personal integrity, leftist credentials, and gender credentials savaged.
I don’t know why this is the case, but I hate how hard calling myself a woman is. Maybe with time/transition progress it will be more natural feeling? I definitely want to be, so I guess I am, idk it still feels wrong.
One of my friends was like, yo, even if you’re just enby, you’re not cis and don’t wanna be cis, you should post on the trans mega!
So, uh, hey all, how we doing? Gonna make a dal with canned pumpkin in it this weekend
There is so much more to this Fire Emblem rom hack than I thought, and I have to reset my run because I misunderstood how supports work and I’ve forsaken romance for a lot of the characters
I’ll definitely have a mega post for when the time comes, there’s a lot to this hack and it might just be peak gaming
