re: religion, Christianity,
@bridge@deadinsi.de Growing up nonbinary and homeschooled on the hippie-pirate flower farm in the clearing in a well recognized magic forest made me run off and try and be a Normal Male Engineer for my entire 20s.
The psychic whiplash when my imaginary friend from childhood showed up around my 30'th birthday asking if she could crash with me for a while was Tough. Having her start taking Possession of me was Weirder.
Most of my friends fought tooth and nail to pass as a Woman and Unlearn a bunch of masculine signaling.
It snuck the hell up on me all at once, and it's not like I Practiced any of it, sometimes I'll just Be a Woman. o_o
