As for the people praying for me to be straight and cis: a tree is producing oxygen so they can breathe. I think they owe it an apology.
Settle down, Bob. Be better than those who would like to excoriate you and take the high road. Be happy with yourself and just let their words fall flat. Don't be a different version of them.

"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

Right now, I'm speaking from frustration. It hurts when people, who I thought accepted me for who I am, are praying for me to be something different.
And in my life, there are reasons I need prayer, but my orientation and identity isn't one of them.

There are toxic people sprinkled throughout one's life. Some are on message boards, some are closer than that. Sometimes one needs to just close that door and move on. You are the only person who will ever really look after the quality of your life experiences.
Sh-t, I think I just talked myself out of posting here again.
I have a fair number of muslim in-laws but not much experience with burial traditions. Do problems arise when forensics are required of muslim decedents, particularly if burial is not possible for an extended period of time?

That stinks. You can chose to frame this in a negative way or chose to think of it that they care about you enough to pray for you. Praying isn't like Burger King where you get to tell God how he should fix someone else. So if they are praying for you God is going to do what he knows you need, not what they want you to need. Who knows- if they re praying it might be like a boomerang where God looks at that prayer and decides to remind them that he doesn't make mistakes and you are just fine the way you are!

Yes. It's one of the claimed reasons the US dumped Bin Laden's body in a burial-at-sea ritual within three days of killing him.
