We Stan!!!!

Shout out to exmuslims who are often left out of posts about religious trauma support because that blogger was afraid of being labelled “islamophobic”, who are told their experiences were invalid and that “true islam is progressive” by the Woke crowd because any proof otherwise would challenge their narrative that only cultures dominated by white people can be harmful, who are still suffering trauma as a result of their religious upbringing.

You don’t deserve to be treated as invisible by people who claim to fight for justice. I know I dont often makes posts about exmuslims, and its because my main experience is with christianity, but I could do better. Exchristian apostates need to remember and support our exmuslim apostate friends 🧡

what a good day to remember that butch lesbians (ESPECIALLY trans, poc, and/or fat butch lesbians) aren’t fucking predatory

i really do wish there was more support in place for ex-muslim women, online or elsewhere. it feels like most of us hesitate to speak too publicly about this because we're scared it will just feed into the islamophobic and racist sentiments many people already have, i know i do.

but alot of the major ex-muslim orgs and spaces i've come across are full of men who might have left the religion but not the misogyny lmao. hell even on here most ex-muslims have just decided to trade one bigotry for another and go full blown t//rf. like there really isnt a space we can talk about and criticize our experiences without people using it as fuel for their own personal bigoted beliefs, whether its racism or misogyny or transphobia.

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

I can not explain how validating it is to see other nonbinary lesbians with religous trauma on here. Especially ex jw or ex cult ones. After realizing I was in a cult I thought, "There is so much crazy in my life. Will anyone understand my hyper specific experiences?" Apparently the answer is yes and it feels amazing.

Yes please @ me if you do!

Recovery from intensely restrictive and abusive upbringing is like: I’m comfortable with ambiguity, I’m comfortable with ambiguity, I’m comfortable with ambiguity, OH MY GOD SOMEONE TELL ME THE RULES RIGHT NOW OR I WILL DIE. AM I ALLOWED TO DO THIS? WHAT DO YOU WANT??? AM I IN TROUBLE FOR ASKING??? TELL ME THE RULES, IM SO SCARED, nvm I’m comfortable with ambiguity, I’m comfortable with ambiguity, I’m okay, this is fine, I’m comfortable with ambiguity
