  1. got to have balance, got to have social outlets, community activities and emotional/intimate connection on a day to day basis else life is wasted, you can't do it on your own
  2. you can do 3 things: change how you present yourself, take hormones/blockers, have surgery the first two are always available to you
  3. better i say to ask chat-gpt such a technical question: Occultism, mysticism, and esotericism are all related but distinct concepts. Occultism typically refers to the study of hidden or mysterious knowledge or powers. It often includes the exploration of supernatural or paranormal phenomena, such as witchcraft, alchemy, and divination. Mysticism, on the other hand, is the practice of seeking direct knowledge or union with the divine or ultimate reality through spiritual practices such as meditation, prayer, or contemplation. Mysticism can be found in many different religions and spiritual traditions. Esotericism is a broad term that encompasses both occultism and mysticism, as well as other forms of hidden or secret knowledge. It is often used to refer to knowledge that is intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized understanding or interest. In summary, occultism is the study of hidden knowledge, mysticism is the practice of seeking union with the divine, and esotericism is a broad term that encompasses both of these concepts, as well as other forms of hidden knowledge.
  4. do you want people to have a tortured life like the LBGTQi community would have had in the past? you have the chance to live a fulfilled life now whatever your choices of course some will make mistakes with it but that is the price of freedom how about we keep a person's gender a personal private matter until they are 18 unless they choose to tell you assume non binary unless otherwise stated
  5. please don't throw the smokescreen, sorry you are too young refrain from reminding me of my age and tell me instead in three years you will be the age to face this medically and until then i will support you unequivocally in your expressed wish we are in this together and will take it step by step nothing is in stone but i understand you are determined to transition and i will open every door for you to explore that option between now and then
  6. instead ask yourself this should i be allowed to transition right now / should i have been allowed to transition when younger why are some trying to stop what i want done with my body if you repress my need to transition you are just making it worse for me when i unwind your repression later in life you are causing me to dig in my heels and follow through on my childhood ideals maybe i would have changed my mind as a child but now you are precipitating my going this route as an adult because you tried to impose your agenda upon me your job as a person in authority over minors is to represent tease out articulate and support their expressed interests are you doing that? if you cant do that, leave me and all young people alone
  7. winter lasts pretty much 6 months here, nov dec jan feb march april its pretty rough, dark cold glum i use it as spiritual practice, if you want good you have to want bad i can appreciate that the cold is very enlivening to the body and the dark has deep beauty in it, the peace and the solemnity thus i am not wishing winter away but getting on its wavelength and to this end i dont use any central heat or hot water

  17. time is the same as change right? get to stillness in meditation and you won't change, you won't age truth is unchanging try it
  18. wanting is unhappiness namely thinking you lack and you need to chase engaging and enjoying whatever comes along but not caring if it stays or if it goes goes this is happiness and your true nature
