a journalist at The Independent got paid to write β€œheckin cute and valid” :marseyxd: Breaking: News org actually gets the r/TransParentTransKid story right

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/reddit-conservatives-post-trans-child-fake-b2060803.html

and I get another shoutout :marseylove:

Reuters responded to my request for correction but isn't keen on fixing the story, so I might write a whingepost about them later. But hey, The Independent got things right!

I didn't know you were x-mormon. That's a shame, why did you leave holy fathers church?

I actually created this username specifically to chat with /r/exmormon when I was on my way out of Mormonism. You can read the gory details here and here.

You forgot to link https://old.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/74v0p7/tracing_woodgrains_a_parable_on_losing_faith/ specifically which is a very beautiful condensation of everything else and explains your username. @Sir_Slapadicc this is not a lot of words, check it out.

Thanks for remembering that one :marseylove: I should put it somewhere more accessible

darn I'm not reading all that. Its way too many words just to say that your parents don't approve of your gay partner and career choice.

hey now, not reading wordswordswords is a healthy choice, but I didn't have any idea I was into dudes until after I left Mormonism. I was a proper gay-skeptical goodthinker until I left. it just took me a couple of decades to realize that the origin story didn't hold together properly :marseyspecial:

Its all in Romans. God hates you so he made you gay. Its no wonder why you can't access the true meaning of the tablets.

I thought the Schism kinda died off. If not, ai might write a poem about the mayocide.

What’s the ExMo guy that posts about his β€œI faked my suicide in Temple and all I got was this tshirt”? That guy is both based for triggering the Mos and also lame for how much of a lame cuck he is.

Might be Mike Norton (@newnamenoah). He's the one who sneaks cameras in to film temple ceremonies and so forth. Kinda a tool tbh but he's done a lot of stunts like that.

That’s him. He does seem like a bit of a tool but he uncovers some interesting stuff

I always wondered if it was reference to Xenocide.

Yeah, it performs a vital double function as a sorting tool to see who has good taste in books. I have a lot of fun fielding that question whenever I wander to a new community.

Great books. Never read the other set of those books though. The movie kinda sucked though.

The other ones in the series are pretty good, but the spinoffs can get kind of weird. They're all about how actually, ANOTHER character was behind everything all along and was super smart and epic

I saw Bean as more of a tool rather than the mastermind. He’s smarter than Ender but doesn’t seem to be as flexible.

Yeah. Unfortunate that they basically just turned it into an outline of the book. No real vision behind how it could transfer meaningfully to the screen. Ah, well, maybe a good one will come around someday.
