Given the time period and how uninformed the author must be on trans issues, I can look past the fact they use male pronouns and her deadname to refer to her pre-transition, a lot of people still get that wrong today.
There is one odd sentence where they use her chosen name but male pronouns. They were talking about her saving up for surgery, so pre-transition, but they otherwise use her deadname when discussing that phase of her life. Just struck me as odd.
So there was an "article" written about the cult, but it was written by the head of the church. The article itself painted the group in an extremely positive light... The comments, on the other hand, were largely from concerned parents, siblings, and friends who had lost loved ones to the cult and no longer had contact. They've been active since 2007, this isn't a meme.
Honestly he's one of the most transparently unhappy and insecure people I've ever seen. Imagine having all that wealth and still exhuding so much divorced dad energy.
I wish someone would do that to me in real life. I'd tell them about how a popular coffeeshop in our city is run by a straight up cult and the employees are all members whose wages go into a "shared purse" controlled by the cult.
Because unlike the guy in the OP, I recognize I'm not the main character. I'm the NPC in the tavern who sends the protagonist on a side quest to take down a cult.
This shit is so annoying on GitHub. I feel like changes to a codebase are something that really makes sense to describe in hard dates and times. Telling me that some dumbass (me) introduced a bug "3 months ago" is not enough info, especially when it was actually 3 months and 24 days.
This happens in Election Day. It's been many years since I saw it, but at one point some girl's parents find out she's lesbian and send her to an all girl Catholic school to "straighten" her out. The next shot is her getting eaten out in a bathroom stall by another girl at school. Overall I remember the movie having very uncomfortable vibes though.
If possible please do try to find a queer-friendly therapist, especially if they specialize in trans issues. I know it can heavily depend on your location and situation, but if it's a possibility it will save you a lot of money, time, doubt, and frustration that would've been spent burning through other mental health professionals.
