Ren started the topic The cat is leaving the bag …(a TG situation) in the forum Sexuality & Relationships 1 year, 2 months ago
Awkward moment last night… my ex-h in his semi-weekly phone call figured out–without me saying– that I’m transgender. I neither confirmed nor denied. Now he seems to think that I believe that I’m ashamed to be a “beautiful woman”. He went on and on about how even when I was 60 lbs heavier, his shipmates were always wanting to check me…[Read more]

Ren started the topic New Art! in the forum Laugh Links & Ideas 1 year, 3 months ago
I’ve been going through a lot of crap over the past two months, and a friend of mine has challenged me to do more art…
Since that challenge began, I’ve been attempting to post art regularly on deviant art on my very, very old account there.
I finally tried my hand at doing an entire digital painting and this is the result:

Ren started the topic What's so bad about being good? in the forum The Church 1 year, 8 months ago
This is the child in me talking.
As a kid, I soaked up the “God is love” message… everything made sense under that banner…
and then I learned that God doesn’t love everyone. It was just a ploy to get people baptised… well.. he DID.. but he loved them enough to act like he didn’t love them, and that was supposed to make people want to r…[Read more]

I mentioned this in chat the other night, but I was asked to write about it in the forum, so here goes:
Good news #1
I work for a domestic violence shelter in Louisiana. often, we get calls from the national domestic violence hotline. This hotline is – as implied– a national number set up so that anyone in the US can get in touch with…[Read more]

Ren started the topic Depressed and Housebound in the forum Leftovers 1 year, 8 months ago
In another topic thread I mentioned that I have a disability that keeps me from getting around much.
When I do leave the house, it’s not for much more than a few hours. I go to work once a week for a 12 hours shift where I can lay down (I got lucky) and otherwise am housebound in bed most of the time because I can’t trust how long I can be on…[Read more]

Ren started the topic @_@ My Dad is… a friendly?! in the forum Family & Friends 1 year, 8 months ago
Me and my family have never gotten along…and with the personal things that I will one day have to tell them (being bi & being trans…) I’ve been contemplating never speaking to them again for fear of losing them anyway…
But, my dad, like me, watch msnbc opinion pieces… and tonight he was watching one about Sen. Rob Portman and his son.. …[Read more]

Ren started the topic Inside the Anger: A Manifesto in the forum Trying to Move On 1 year, 8 months ago
The following was written this morning on Facebook to whoever would read it. Anyone who has me friend-ed there (David) has probably seen all of the bitstrip ranting an stuff I’ve done over nearly the past week. something happened in my life that just caused me to snap.
I wrote a bitstrip comic about some of it here: ( http…[Read more]

Ren started the topic Weird thought about tithing and modern churches. in the forum The Church 1 year, 9 months ago
I was just thinking to myself:
I think that we need to eliminate money from church life.
And then all churches (as we know them… the buildings… the meetings… the preachers… the clergy… blah, blah…)
…Would poof….
Well, mostly, I’m sure someone out there would be talking about their opinions on the life of Jesus and t…[Read more]

Ren started the topic Too busy for everyone? A depressing realization. in the forum Personal Spirituality 1 year, 10 months ago
I’ve been trying to figure out why I can’ never seem to get involved in a spiritual life. I believe in God but almost never pray. I shy away from churches… from religious people in my waking life… People (especially Christians) try to give me spiritual encouragement and immediately I feel like crying– and not in a good way. More like, “Oh no.…[Read more]

Ren started the topic Hello *waves* in the forum Meet & Greet 1 year, 10 months ago
I wanted to post a hello since this is the first time I’ll be showing my face here. I was hopeful about joining the site and now I realize that I don’t know what to say.
I’ve been on a very exhausting spiritual journey– I have been beyond ready to find a place to at least talk about it. I do have some friends on another website specifically…[Read more]
