“Queer Dharma, Or That Buddhist Dharma As Experienced By Queer And Trans People, Challenges Every One

“Queer dharma, or that Buddhist dharma as experienced by queer and trans people, challenges every one of these heteronormative codes. Even the notion that you are a gay man, or a lesbian, a trans man or trans woman, is challenged by both dharma and transqueer experience. Your female partner that you thought was a woman is now transitioning becoming a trans man; the gay man you are dating also performs as a drag queen and goes about as a woman in certain social contexts. Nothing is fixed or permanent; nothing can be pinned down for long; everything is impermanent; everything changes. This experience of profound impermanence is common to queer and trans people. It is the pattern of our lives; it is our lived experience. And it is one of the gifts that we have to share with the greater sangha. We know, perhaps more profoundly than heterosexuals, that there is no fixed “self,” that all facets of identity are ascribed, learned, performed, negotiated, discarded, transformed, and mutable.” - Shaun Bartone in Transcending: Trans Buddhist Voices

I killed a dog. I put him down, I watched him go. I was looking him straight in the eyes. He didn't know what was happening, he didn't know why. He was just scared

In honor of me absolutely fucking hating the elitism I'm seeing in the heathen paganism community here is a list of all rounder offerings that work for every spirit, deity and anything else you can think of in the realm of the Norse mythology.

- Apples, literally any kind works but from my own experiences yellow apples are preferred.

- Honey, just honey. Or diluted with water as a drink.

- WATER!! A GLASS OF WATER!!

- Mead, doesn't matter if it's cheap. They love mead

- oats, seeds, nuts. Anything of that domain

- Potatoes, Sweden has a long history of survival through potatoes.

- Tea. Throw one of those teabags into a glass of water and leave it out overnight. Boom baam done offering given.

- oatmeal!!! You just need oats and water!!!

- pinecones, leaves, branches. Literally anything you can find in a forest can go on an altar and work.

- seashells, trust me it just works™ for the ocean aligned ones.

AND THE CHEAPEST OF THEM ALL

- literally just their name in runes scribbled down on a paper, make it into a bindrune and decorate the paper with other doodles.

Point is. For a long time Sweden was poor, we didn't have fancy stuff to offer. So we used what we had and we still do.

And guess what!!! IT WORKS!! IT WORKS AMAZING!! AND IT'S AUTHENTIC BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE PREPARING THE OFFERINGS AND GIVING THEM!!! THAT'S WHAT COUNTS!!

so in conclusion fuck the classist assholes who teach that offerings have to be expensive and down to detail perfect. That shit is false and doesn't matter.

Don’t know why tf people have to be told this in 2024 but

Do not fucking call yourself a trans ally if you demonize or exclude certain alignments.

This means masculine-aligned

This means feminine-aligned

This means people who fit into neither

This means multigender

This means people who’s gender you may not fully understand

This means gender not based on traditional concepts

I can’t believe people still have to be fucking told this, but DO NOT call yourself a trans ally if you saying “I support all trans people… except these ones.” And I don’t care if you’re a trans person who pulls this shit. That’s disappointing.
