As a POC trafficking survivor who's a paraphile I want radqueers to get the fuck out of our tags.
Pro para isn't for people who think torture is fun and encourage people to form literal cults and kill people. Pro para isn't pro rape. Fuck any and all pro-contact Paras (pro-contact for harmful stuff aka advocating for rape).
Paraphiles are not rapists or abusers and current abusers who haven't reformed aren't welcomed in our communities or spaces.
Okay I don’t even know if this will reach anyone but someday I want to write a novel about religious trauma and religious abuse and how religious people who claim to be holy really just… intentionally (or maybe unintentionally in some cases) abuse the shit out of children and women and minority groups.
Also how churches just shelter sexual abusers, and how sexual abusers use holy texts to justify their actions and threaten their victims into silence.
I am compiling a data base of cruel and unusual religious punishments (mostly to make sure I’m not crazy) but also to have a better understanding of exactly how religious abuse is manifested in different situations.
Some examples: a mother physically SITTING on a “disobedient” child while singing the famous hymn “Trust and Obey”
A young woman whose creepy traveling Christian musician uncle would travel to various churches and tell children’s story, during children’s story he would LICK his nieces face, from eyeball to chin, and the entire church would laugh. Her father looked on, and didn’t care how visibly uncomfortable his daughter was.
Finally, and this is just one of my own experiences. I suffer from horrible menstruation symptoms, and my mother refused to allow me to take any pain medicine, because it would not allow for me to have a “clear mind” to hear the Holy Spirit.
Anyway, I know that this can be quite traumatizing to share… but I’m just putting feelers out there… is there anyone willing to step forward and share their traumatic religious experiences?
It’s for research and understand and deconstructing purposes only.
This is made to stand with paraphiles who recieve harassment during Pride despite never harming anyone. I do not encourage those with illegal or dangerous paraphilias to act upon and cause harm/abuse. I am very anti-abuse. However, accepting one's paraphilia is a road to recovery and minimizes harm.
People who comment "gentle parenting at it's finest" on posts of kids having a meltdown in public and their parents not doing anything about it do not understand what gentle parenting means at all and it makes me want to put my head through a wall
for the millionth time there is no fucking thing such as a "harmful" paraphilia. Paraphilia only refers to thoughts / attraction NOT actions (note that for paraphilic disorders not nondisordered ones, the criteria is harmful actions OR distress causing clinical impairment in ones life) . Only ACTIONS can be harmful, not what goes on in your mind. Stop letting conservative rhetoric influence the way you view the world.
[Don't clown on this post. Especially if you clearly don't know anything about paraphilias or what actions are harmful]
Man I thought you were cool until your mentions of MAPs Its dumb that you treat their thoughts like understandable things when they are in fact unatural
I’m not saying we should go beat up and kill those people but you giving those people a sense of community and welcomeness is exactly what they want. Even if they are anti-contact
uh yea i sure hope anti contact/abuse MAPs want community and welcomeness... like. you do realize that's a good thing? they understand each other's experiences and can help each other cope with any distress and find ways to healthily engage with sexuality? that kind of thing.. helps? whereas shame and demonization... does not.
the same things that made me cool to you are exactly why i support paraphiles (i am one too btw, just not a MAP). i understand that brains are weird and sexuality is wild. at the end of the day... what matters is that we don't actually hurt anyone, or ourselves. that we support and protect one another, even when we have differences.
that is what this blog is ultimately about, and if you refuse to extend that to people just bc they feel things they cant control, even if they literally agree with you in regard to not abusing people? that's a you problem.
yeah im a narcissistic transsexual pedophile with multiple personalities and homicidal ideation, bring on the torches and pitchforks im kinky like that
