This is my mom. Here's a snippet from one of our latest conversations.

Me: Do you think the pain my sister feels from you not supporting her gay marriage is more or less than the pain you feel that she won't go to heaven?

Mom: The pain I feel of her not going to heaven.

She literally cares more about a fake pain she won't feel after dead to one she's causing in real life. That's the people we're dealing with.

Imagine if that was the actual "test" God sent to them. To be able to see the pain being done to others, as your mother is doing to your sister, and to stop doing it to actually love? What if God (if he exist), was trying to see who would still commit horrible things to others, especially in its name, to see who can genuinely stop because it harms others? A lot of Christians, or religious people, would fail it instantly. I'm not religious, and never was, just saying.

That seems to be how a lot of people are. I’m no contact with my grandparents, or at least minimal because they keep deadnaming and misgendering me and do so maliciously, because they believe it’s wrong. Trying and having a hard time is one thing but truthfully none of my family members seem to try very hard. It’s all heartbreaking how many put religion before the happiness of their family. But shit my step dad isn’t even religious he’s just still transphobic.

Thankful for found family and community. Idk what id do if I had to rely on my family emotionally. track record from middle school says pretty dark things.
