trans, taoism
@kiilas True. Well that's what they told me at least. Not that I particularly agree with it anyway.
I do consider myself a buddhism student, but I'm just a lay person. Buddhism helped me manage my anxiety and stress, but that doesn't mean that I have to take everything literally. Basically I take the stuff that I see will help me. I think that's the sane choice with religion in general.

@kiilas The basic thing in buddhism is that attachment leads to suffering. I've talked to multiple buddhist monks on their transgender views and they think the issue stems from the fact that we transgenders are trying to change our own body in pursuit of something else, and for this, we'll never be happy.
I'd agree with this except with the characterisation of "changing" our body, as I don't consider it changing, because I've always been a female since I was born.

@kiilas Are you familiar with buddhism?

This is Joshua Collins' campaign platform on Trans Rights. He's a socialist trucker running for our 2020 congress in Washington's 10th district (Olympia to south Tacoma), and I am in love with him.

@efi sorry, I meant water with bicarbonate mixed.

@efi a glass of bicarbonate sodium. It will probably give you gases, so be careful.
