I never asked god, but I did try to make a deal with the devil. But as they say pray in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up first.
They say WHAT?!!!!
They say PRAY IN ONE HAND AND SHIT IN THE OTHER AND SEE WHICH ONE FILLS UP FIRST
Praying to God and making a deal with the Devil are pretty much the same thing.
Curiously, if you ask fundamentalist churches (and most mainline ones) the Devil is more LGBT+ friendly, and more pro-women.
The satanic church in the US is the more LGBTQI+ accepting Christian church in the country
Who is they? I want to know where the phrase is from
Growing up in the southern US — just about every old person I know says “want in one hand, shit in the other. See which fills up faster” so this is just a slight variation on that phrase.
Makes sense why I've never heard it
I think I first heard it from the movie Bad Santa.
i probably would have made a deal with almost any eldritch entity if they turned me into a pretty girl
And yet, all it took was clicking a silly button on a silly website.
I understood that reference!
For anyone who doesn't know, here's aforementioned silly button.
Out of curiosity, is there also one for other queer identities?
There's a "related" section on turnmeintoagirl.com:
Related Work and Alternate Versions
- Turn Me Into A Boy by Winter
- Turn Me Into A Guy by Jamey
- Turn Me Into A Non-Binary Person by Marcy
Also have a look at amitrans.org to check if you're trans. Just in case.
Wait... so which is the original? turnmeintoagirl.com or turn-me-into-a-girl.com?
I, umm.. Thought that were identical? I think originally the original original was the one with hyphens, which is why the references versions also copied that choice, but that's just a guess, I didn't look it up. [Update: yeah both domains are identical. Note: the banner-text at the top is ransom on every visit]
Not to be confused with turnintoagirl.com which claims to be a modern adaptation. But I don't see how it's better than the original, also the "for the low price of $0!" and "This text is protected by quantum encryption, only girls can read it" humor kinda makes it... toooo ridiculous. Whereas from a users perspective this is supposed to be fun, but also very very serious. These button sites are literally life changing serious business. They shouldn't ruin 💖the magic💖 by making too much fun of themselves. Damn, I could've spend all this time ranting to instead just look up a sourced answer to your original question 😭
Don't worry you're fine lol; I enjoyed your rant <3
This hit hard. And reminded me of the fact that memes actually can have cultural and historical value.
Wow, memory unlocked of crying so hard and begging God to take away my sinful queerness.
Didn't work.
If that asshole made us this way, then he wants it for us (probably has a sick sense of humor and enjoys giving us dysphoria)
Well I'm happy to be this way, can't complain about that part
It's not that bad, just inconvenient. I do appreciate how it's given me a unique perspective on many things and helped me figure out things I wouldn't have otherwise. However, on top of the bigotry that's only gotten worse since I came out, I also needed to put in a lot of effort to reach the baseline mood that others have by default. The years I spent discovering and figuring out how to deal with my dysphoria severely impacted my academic career. I probably lost half a decade as a result, and most of it was unavoidable, as I really couldn't have figured things out more quickly.
I'm of two minds about why god would make people like us. Though bear in mind im not at all a believer.
I think about the movie Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Theres a scene where a kid asks the one black guy if god made him black, and why. The response was, "Allah loves wonderous variety."
On the other hand I think in a well run universe an intelligent species with a genetic binary sex expression would be hard coded to gender expression. Since it isnt I can only conclude that god is lazy and indifferent.
On the other other hand I think dysphoria is a result of social pressure to enforce gender coding on children from birth. And traditional god fearing family structures force it hardest.
Yeah. I imagine if god(s) exist, they're either psychopathic, or utterly incompetent. But since I'm an atheist, my view is that it's just "shit happens".
If God was real, I'd be one of his biggest haters
I bowed to cishet normativity and well that didn't go well and so here I am straight as a fiddle

You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways. Read more about this decision here.

No Ewwphoria posts. Posts which contain misogyny, misandry, transmisogyny, transmisandry, or enbyphobia for the purpose of expressing euphoria are not allowed here. At best they bring anger to others, and at worst they may trigger people's dysphoria. People who create such posts will have them removed and may be banned at moderator discretion.
Recommendations:
We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.
