notes on the sanctity of womanhood by richard g scott (secular)
ok so I was on the lds website looking at stuff and came across this talk and there are a few things I want to comment on (bc this shit is wild and I have a lot of feelings about it and I'm sorry if it's a lot)
link to the talk if you wanna read it: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/new-era/2008/11/the-sanctity-of-womanhood?lang=eng
tw: implied transphobia, implied rape mention
(btw "he" is referring to satan)
Third class? Who's first and second? The men can't take both spots, right?
"trade their...femininity for male coarseness" - is this referring to trans men giving up their womanhood for manhood or anger and aggressiveness typically associated with male behavior?
Whhyyyyyy would he refer to them as "attractive," seeing as he's an elderly man?
Why was their "male attire mentioned?" People crossdress all the time!
More "we need to convert everybody for the sake of their souls" type bullshittery
Can't tell if he's referring to virginity or not (if so, people shouldn't censor like this, don't leave things to the imagination, just come out and say it)
Oh no teenage boys experience sexual attraction! (a natural thing unless you're asexual, which is perfectly fine and valid) Better tell the teen girls that they're in the wrong here by dressing how they want to!
Consensual sexual acts can bring happiness, pleasure, and trust - not all lust is bad!
Also, it's strange how the church leads you to believe that sexual attraction/desire/thoughts is something wrong and sinful, yet as soon as you're married it's fine as long as it's only about the person you're married to. I can't speak for lds married couples, but wouldn't it feel weird or maybe even wrong to suddenly be allowed all of the things you were constantly told were bad and should be pushed away?

love me in the snow,
love me in the sun,
love me, the beige skin

Inspired in part by beloved Gravity, by @katnissmellarkkk and by Roi, by Videoclub! The song doesn't have the everlark vibes per se but the lyrics are so cute and very snapshot like. The fic is perfect, very natural paced and full of longing, 100% recommend!!! Please do zoom in for hi-res, gave my life and tears for this one 💖
