Just some nice clearing the air of ambiguities. Do not doxx yourself.

For instance, Lea CrossCode (my pfp) is my lofty transition goal, and that’s one part of the reason I’m so attached to her as a character.

    I’ve never read the Book of Mormon, despite growing up in the LDS church. If I understand the terminology correctly, then I’m merely culturally Mormon.

      I mean, you’re pretty much guaranteed a spot in the celestial kingdom - it’s like the free space in bingo - and you can just chill there until future Mormons eventually pray your way into the telestial kingdom. It’s not a bad deal.

      I didn’t grow up Mormon, but the one thing I will say is that I wish I’d grown up with y’all’s weird cosmic afterlife theology. Instead I just got told I was almost certainly going to hell and the best thing I could do was try to live a perfect life and maybe be forgiven… I much prefer the Mormon idea of the “outer darkness” being a place reserved exclusively for Nazi war criminals and the like.

        I thought it was Outer Darkness for me, on accounta hearing the light and still rejecting it

        but yeah, we have the nicest cosmology. I remember being really shocked and said when I found out everyone else thinks angels aren’t just people waiting to live their lives, but God’s personal servants shackled to his will.

    I’m extremely genuine to the point where I have a real difficult time spreading misinformation on this site to avoid doxxing myself. I also have three dogs and live in Boston.

      I was gonna respond “Hey I live in Boston too!” as a joke, but I can’t.

    Changing my pronouns here is the most progress I’ve made in transitioning. IRL I still look and sound like a guy and that makes me feel like a fraud :/

    I’m pretty bad at certain aspects of communicating and have persistent weird perceptions of social interaction and etiquette. e.g. I find sugarcoating or otherwise trying to soften the blow of bad news to be insulting/patronizing, and someone telling me comforting lies that I later discover are lies would leave me feeling deeply betrayed. I find it damn near impossible to connect a person’s emotional state (which I have become hypervigilant for in seeking any signs of rejection) and the reason for it in the moment, and might only understand later on after analyzing all the different factors.

    (99% sure I’m autistic but I’m pretty sure I’ve stated that outright a bunch)

      I am autistic, and relate very directly to pretty much everything you say. Especially the parts about it being almost impossible to connect to other people’s emotional states. So you may have your answer. Try seeing if you can get formally diagnosed. Depending on how old you are, there may be resources you can make use of.
