And it breaks my heart every time I hear yet another story of someone killing their own passion, numbing themselves down to the point that they become unable to enjoy what they formerly loved, just to “fit in” a society that doesn’t accept deviation from the perceived norm.

Yeah I feel like that was an issue for me as well and one of the reasons I either repressed or resented parts of myself for a long time. And I’m glad the journeys I had the last couple of years (the one I described in the post and also the journey of overcoming depression) not only helped me accept those parts of myself, but be happy and proud that I have them.

But it’s not about that for many people. For many people, being religious is more about finding strength and peace in that kind of guided spirituality

Nah, I don’t subscribe to that analogy because it still implies that there are “male” bodies and “female” bodies when I think every woman’s body is by definition a female body and every man’s body is by definition a male body.

Wow, you are so enlightened shitting on non-binary people like that and denying them their gender experience /s

I lay claim on “white - 4 blue - white - pink - blue” as the official flag of ass-stans

No but if you like girls and then realise you are also a girl you can go from “I’m a straight guy” to “I’m a gay woman”

Blahaj looks at Gardevoir the exact same way I look at my gf when I’m on her lap

You’re misinterpreting this imo, I would assume because of a distance to Austrian politics. Austrian governing bodies are very seldomly actually anti-nazi. Instead, they are bringing forth right-wing policies while virtue signalling that “nazism bad”.

It really depends though. In a lot of places, life for gay young people for example is a lot less shitty than it was for gay people 40 years ago

It literally says that on the picture
