I don't get political on this blog very often. Just a warning, I'm on the left and have nothing good to say about the current administration. I'm an LGBT+ person in a female body that grew up on the Christian right. The Christian right and their teachings combined with my parents' early brainwashing techniques conditioned … Continue reading This Is Quite A Timeline

Chewed Gum
Yesterday I sat on the little stone landing outside my dad's front door. The sun was out and I wanted to feel some warmth and do something healthy for myself. I brought my phone & headphones with me and listened to music and periodically cried. Sometimes a thought would come to me that I'd feel … Continue reading Chewed Gum
Comforting
Yesterday evening I gave myself 40 minutes to get to the Excel training course, and nearly panicked when I ran into traffic even worse than what I'd been expecting. Luckily, it turned out to only be that backed up for about 3 intersections, and then thinned considerably, so that I ended up making the trip … Continue reading Comforting
On the Subject of Doubt
Yesterday A, M and I had a conversation about faith and religion. (J's phone has been screwing up and refusing to connect to her wi-fi when she's at home, so she wasn't present for it). All 4 of us have been severely damaged by religious indoctrination. All 4 of us have had at least one … Continue reading On the Subject of Doubt
Sex and the Conservative Christian Girl: part 2
Content note: lengthy, frank discussion of at least one human's sexuality, profanity, lack of euphemisms, unlikely to be erotic or sexy, sorry. Part One Fantasizing turned out to be the best way for me to keep my sex life alive for a while. Fantasize until seriously horny, then seek out my husband for sex. That … Continue reading Sex and the Conservative Christian Girl: part 2
Sex and the Conservative Christian Girl
Content note: lengthy, frank discussion of at least one human's sexuality Lengthy frank was on purpose and I'm not apologizing. Second content note: said discussion is unlikely to be erotic or sexy, sorry - unless your kink is stories of awkward, ignorant, repressed sexuality, in which case, enjoy! Third content note: profanity, lack of euphemisms … Continue reading Sex and the Conservative Christian Girl
Faithless
Where every step I took in faith betrayed me... I'd put a playlist on but hadn't really been paying close attention. An old favorite from my teen years was playing, though, and the above line leaped out at me. Every step I took in faith betrayed me. It might be hard to find another sentence … Continue reading Faithless
Good To The Bone
I'm a good person, pretty much down to the bone. The religious indoctrination of conservative Christianity had me convinced for a large chunk of my life that I was a terrible person filled with darkness and dark desires, and that only the blood of Jesus could hold me back from depravity and hedonism. A life … Continue reading Good To The Bone
Happiness and the Conservative Christian Girl
For most of my life I've had to pass my happiness and desires through the happiness and desires of someone else, first. I couldn't just make a choice because it would be good for me and make me happy, I had to check first to make sure if what I wanted to do was acceptable … Continue reading Happiness and the Conservative Christian Girl
