Re: Religion Thread: We Could Say a Prayer

Without augmentation, I might get to a B cup!

I don't want to seem obtuse (which I probably am on most things), but in what way are breasts important to you?

Sign of progress. And furthermore, if it's "stop transition or go to hell," I will continue transition and take my chances.

Will they not develop on their own to a natural size by taking the hormones? Clearly, I'm not in-the-know on this subject.

Some of us get up to a nice size on hormones. Some of us sigh and seek augmentation.

This makes me ask the question of what it the nice size? Women are all sizes. My lab partner in Physical Assessment class used to tease me that she was a bad partner for breasts because she was a AA cup. It kinda makes me sad that this part of the culture- feeling like you need big boobs- is something that is still part of what makes you a woman. We have tried so hard, for so long, to reassure women they don't need big boobs to be beautiful, or that having small ones doesn't make you less of a woman. (Not articulate but hoping this is coming across in the right way)

And that was why I asked the initial question. Thundercat is in the process of throwing off traditional gender stereotypes and expectations that are unfair and even cruel. That takes courage and determination. But she still also seems vulnerable to another stereotype--the expectation about how the female body is supposed to look in our society.

I know that seems insensitive and obtuse to Thundercat--I.e., I don't get it.

It's no different from the male obsession with dick size. It doesn't matter for 99% of the population, but we all joke about it anyway.

Anyway, isn't this the religion thread?

Under the category of Spiritual well being?

It's also about "passing," or making sure you look like someone's idea of a female. The concept is phobic, but it's there. But lately, more of us are saying screw "passing" and going out anyway.

Re: Religion Thread: We Could Say a Prayer

Back to religion:

Yesterday, I was in a car accident, and it clearly was my fault. I got no sleep Monday night, and by the time I left work Tuesday afternoon, I was dead tired. I nodded off, and I rear ended someone. I clearly accept responsibility for this. When speaking to a friend, she said "it was the enemy... they cause you to make poor decisions."

So, it was Satan's fault I got behind the wheel when I had no business driving?

Satan tempts you into making morally false choices that you know are wrong, but you justify the act for some reason. For example, accumulating temporal power by stealing from the populace.

No, it wasn't Satan, this one's on you.

Nah, Satan was just a decent goal scorer who left the league about 8 years ago.

Thank you. I knew that from the moment of impact.

Re: Religion Thread: We Could Say a Prayer

And on that note, apparently I need new friends. At least ones who don't blame "the enemy" when they or someone they know makes a boneheaded decision that leaves harsh consequences.

Shame he never played for the Devils.
