Since some other people were doing this, I decided to give my two cents on the Mossfur “controversial opinions” thing. And, I sincerely apologize if what I say comes of as heterophobic, etc. as my intentions are far from it!

1. “Saying oof to people seeking guidance and advice is uncaring and unhelpful.”

Couldn’t agree more. The least you can do is say something genuine and sincere to help them feel better, not make them feel unwanted by giving a generic answer.

2. “Only 2 genders”

Oh boy, here we go.

I personally believe that you can go by whatever pronouns and gender you want, as long as it’s not purely for attention and it’s what makes you happy. I remain optimistically skeptical, which is my way of saying I will support you and use your correct pronouns and everything, though due to the lack of studies and therefore evidence on non-binary, genderfluid, etc. I try to stay out of debates one way or another on the subject, though I do believe it’s a real thing. Also, quick thing: I don’t believe in trans male or trans female being genders, because the point of them transitioning was so they could go ftm or mtf, not to be a separate gender. How I see it is that if they’re ftm/pre-transition ftm, they’re a male that just happened to have transitioned to get to that body/a male who just happens to be trapped in the wrong body, or vice verca for mtf.

3. “I don’t fully support pride month”

Holy crap, that’s homophobic, and it’s coming from a BI person. The most likely reason behind this, based on the heterophobia and “straight people in pride” comment (covered later), is that they don’t like how it’s excluding straight people. The thing is, that’s like getting mad about how Black History Month is excluding white people. Because, it’s not. Just as straight people can support and participate in pride month as allies, Caucasian people can support and participate in Black History Month as allies. For both of these months, anyone (as long as they’re not racist or homophobic) is allowed to remember the struggles of the past people, and rejoice about how they overcame it and are in a much more accepting society now.

4. “Women aren’t oppressed in America.”

Yes, they are. Women are catcalled, objectified, assaulted, etc. all because they were women and/or wore “provocative clothing”. That’s not to say that it doesn’t happen to Men as well, but just because it also happens to Men doesn’t give you the right to brush off either of their struggles.

5. “You shouldn’t define yourself as trans until you’re 17 or 18”

First of all, people can do whatever the hell they want, as long as it makes them happy. Second of all, if I had a trans child, I would allow them to test out their preferred pronouns, identify as trans, wear their preferred clothes, use their preferred bathroom, etc., and then if by, at the very least, age 14-16, they still wanted to transition and were absolutely sure, I’d let them. But I would never limit my child, or anyone else’s child for that matter, about when and where they can experiment with their gender. (The 14-16 thing would be for health matters and applies only to the actual transitioning process).

5. “Straight people should be included in pride.”

Well, just as I said earlier, they are a part of it. As allies. But they are not the focus of it, because straight people did not undergo persecution for their sexual preference. Just like in a play, there is usually a large amount of ensemble that are almost or just as vital to the play as the main characters, but the main focus is the main characters. So, straight allies are vital to Pride Month, but the main focus is still the LGBTQ community.

6. “Stores not supporting LGBT is okay because it was only passed 3 years ago”

Are you kidding me? These are real people you’re talking about. Real people, just trying to live their lives, who just HAPPEN to be LGBTQ and they get fired from their jobs or turned away from restaurants or stores, and that’s morally okay?!? It could have just passed yesterday, or a thousand years ago, but that doesn’t change the fact that the law. still. passed. Storeowners should respect that, or be shut down. The fact that you support them turning people away is disgusting.

7. “Heterophobia exists and is just as bad as Homophobia.”

Yes, Heterophobia exists, and yeah, that’s not right. But no way in hell is it just as bad as homophobia. I bet there are little to no encounters where straight people were murdured or persecuted just for being straight, yet homophobia brings people to shoot or murder others, or injure them, solely based on them being gay, and it happens A LOT, both in modern and ancient times. Heterophobia is a real thing and shouldn’t be happening, but is nowhere near as bad as Homophobia.

All in all, I find it utterly disturbing that someone could have these opinions, and not only that, but put them PUBLICLY in their bio in a community full of LGBTQ members and allies, and NOT get banned. What’s worse is that the only reason they took it out of their bio was probably not because they were ashamed of their actions or had changed their opinions, but because of the insane (but justified) amount of hate they got on here. Which would also mean they would still probably have these opinions, among other transphobic and homophobic ones.

Every religious belief system...is a complete blasphemy...in the eyes of every other religious belief system...and all are a complete blasphemy in the eyes of rational unbelief...

For example, as outlined by Atheist Ireland ...

“Here are the 25 blasphemous quotes that we first published on 1 January 2010, along with the quotation that has caused the Irish police to investigate Stephen Fry.

1. Jesus Christ, when asked if he was the son of God, in Matthew 26:64: “Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.” According to the Christian Bible, the Jewish chief priests and elders and council deemed this statement by Jesus to be blasphemous, and they sentenced Jesus to death for saying it.

2. Jesus Christ, talking to Jews about their God, in John 8:44: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.” This is one of several chapters in the Christian Bible that can give a scriptural foundation to Christian anti-Semitism. The first part of John 8, the story of “whoever is without sin cast the first stone”, was not in the original version, but was added centuries later. The original John 8 is a debate between Jesus and some Jews. In brief, Jesus calls the Jews who disbelieve him sons of the Devil, the Jews try to stone him, and Jesus runs away and hides.

3. Muhammad, quoted in Hadith of Bukhari, Vol 1 Book 8 Hadith 427: “May Allah curse the Jews and Christians for they built the places of worship at the graves of their prophets.” This quote is attributed to Muhammad on his death-bed as a warning to Muslims not to copy this practice of the Jews and Christians. It is one of several passages in the Koran and in Hadith that can give a scriptural foundation to Islamic anti-Semitism, including the assertion in Sura 5:60 that Allah cursed Jews and turned some of them into apes and swine.

4. Mark Twain, describing the Christian Bible in Letters from the Earth, 1909: “Also it has another name – The Word of God. For the Christian thinks every word of it was dictated by God. It is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies… But you notice that when the Lord God of Heaven and Earth, adored Father of Man, goes to war, there is no limit. He is totally without mercy — he, who is called the Fountain of Mercy. He slays, slays, slays! All the men, all the beasts, all the boys, all the babies; also all the women and all the girls, except those that have not been deflowered. He makes no distinction between innocent and guilty… What the insane Father required was blood and misery; he was indifferent as to who furnished it.” Twain’s book was published posthumously in 1939. His daughter, Clara Clemens, at first objected to it being published, but later changed her mind in 1960 when she believed that public opinion had grown more tolerant of the expression of such ideas. That was half a century before Fianna Fail and the Green Party imposed a new blasphemy law on the people of Ireland.

5. Tom Lehrer, The Vatican Rag, 1963: “Get in line in that processional, step into that small confessional. There, the guy who’s got religion’ll tell you if your sin’s original. If it is, try playing it safer, drink the wine and chew the wafer. Two, four, six, eight, time to transubstantiate!”

6. Randy Newman, God’s Song, 1972: “And the Lord said: I burn down your cities – how blind you must be. I take from you your children, and you say how blessed are we. You all must be crazy to put your faith in me. That’s why I love mankind.”

7. James Kirkup, The Love That Dares to Speak its Name, 1976: “While they prepared the tomb I kept guard over him. His mother and the Magdalen had gone to fetch clean linen to shroud his nakedness. I was alone with him… I laid my lips around the tip of that great cock, the instrument of our salvation, our eternal joy. The shaft, still throbbed, anointed with death’s final ejaculation.” This extract is from a poem that led to the last successful blasphemy prosecution in Britain, when Denis Lemon was given a suspended prison sentence after he published it in the now-defunct magazine Gay News. In 2002, a public reading of the poem, on the steps of St. Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square, failed to lead to any prosecution. In 2008, the British Parliament abolished the common law offences of blasphemy and blasphemous libel.

8. Matthias, son of Deuteronomy of Gath, in Monty Python’s Life of Brian, 1979: “Look, I had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was that piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah.”

9. Rev Ian Paisley MEP to the Pope in the European Parliament, 1988: “I denounce you as the Antichrist.” Paisley’s website describes the Antichrist as being “a liar, the true son of the father of lies, the original liar from the beginning… he will imitate Christ, a diabolical imitation, Satan transformed into an angel of light, which will deceive the world.”

10. Conor Cruise O’Brien, 1989: “In the last century the Arab thinker Jamal al-Afghani wrote: ‘Every Muslim is sick and his only remedy is in the Koran.’ Unfortunately the sickness gets worse the more the remedy is taken.”

11. Frank Zappa, 1989: “If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine – but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you’ve been bad or good – and cares about any of it – to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working.”

12. Salman Rushdie, 1990: “The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas – uncertainty, progress, change – into crimes.” In 1989, Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran issued a fatwa ordering Muslims to kill Rushdie because of blasphemous passages in Rushdie’s novel The Satanic Verses.

13. Bjork, 1995: “I do not believe in religion, but if I had to choose one it would be Buddhism. It seems more livable, closer to men… I’ve been reading about reincarnation, and the Buddhists say we come back as animals and they refer to them as lesser beings. Well, animals aren’t lesser beings, they’re just like us. So I say fuck the Buddhists.”

14. Amanda Donohoe on her role in the Ken Russell movie Lair of the White Worm, 1995: “Spitting on Christ was a great deal of fun. I can’t embrace a male god who has persecuted female sexuality throughout the ages, and that persecution still goes on today all over the world.”

15. George Carlin, 1999: “Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ’til the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can’t handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!”

16. Paul Woodfull as Ding Dong Denny O’Reilly, The Ballad of Jaysus Christ, 2000: “He said me ma’s a virgin and sure no one disagreed, Cause they knew a lad who walks on water’s handy with his feet… Jaysus oh Jaysus, as cool as bleedin’ ice, With all the scrubbers in Israel he could not be enticed, Jaysus oh Jaysus, it’s funny you never rode, Cause it’s you I do be shoutin’ for each time I shoot me load.”

17. Jesus Christ, in Jerry Springer The Opera, 2003: “Actually, I’m a bit gay.” In 2005, the Christian Institute tried to bring a prosecution against the BBC for screening Jerry Springer the Opera, but the UK courts refused to issue a summons.

18. Tim Minchin, Ten-foot Cock and a Few Hundred Virgins, 2005: “So you’re gonna live in paradise, With a ten-foot cock and a few hundred virgins, So you’re gonna sacrifice your life, For a shot at the greener grass, And when the Lord comes down with his shiny rod of judgment, He’s gonna kick my heathen ass.”

19. Richard Dawkins in The God Delusion, 2006: “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” In 2007 Turkish publisher Erol Karaaslan was charged with the crime of insulting believers for publishing a Turkish translation of The God Delusion. He was acquitted in 2008, but another charge was brought in 2009. Karaaslan told the court that “it is a right to criticise religions and beliefs as part of the freedom of thought and expression.”

20. Pope Benedict XVI quoting a 14th century Byzantine emperor, 2006: “Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” This statement has already led to both outrage and condemnation of the outrage. The Organisation of the Islamic Conference, the world’s largest Muslim body, said it was a “character assassination of the prophet Muhammad”. The Malaysian Prime Minister said that “the Pope must not take lightly the spread of outrage that has been created.” Pakistan’s foreign Ministry spokesperson said that “anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence”. The European Commission said that “reactions which are disproportionate and which are tantamount to rejecting freedom of speech are unacceptable.”

21. Christopher Hitchens in God is not Great, 2007: “There is some question as to whether Islam is a separate religion at all… Islam when examined is not much more than a rather obvious and ill-arranged set of plagiarisms, helping itself from earlier books and traditions as occasion appeared to require… It makes immense claims for itself, invokes prostrate submission or ‘surrender’ as a maxim to its adherents, and demands deference and respect from nonbelievers into the bargain. There is nothing—absolutely nothing—in its teachings that can even begin to justify such arrogance and presumption.”

22. Ian O’Doherty, 2009: “(If defamation of religion was illegal) it would be a crime for me to say that the notion of transubstantiation is so ridiculous that even a small child should be able to see the insanity and utter physical impossibility of a piece of bread and some wine somehow taking on corporeal form. It would be a crime for me to say that Islam is a backward desert superstition that has no place in modern, enlightened Europe and it would be a crime to point out that Jewish settlers in Israel who believe they have a God given right to take the land are, frankly, mad. All the above assertions will, no doubt, offend someone or other.”

23. Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, 2009: “Whether a person is atheist or any other, there is in fact in my view something not totally human if they leave out the transcendent… we call it God… I think that if you leave that out you are not fully human.” Because atheism is not a religion, the Irish blasphemy law does not protect atheists from abusive and insulting statements about their fundamental beliefs. While atheists are not seeking such protection, we include the statement here to point out that it is discriminatory that this law does not hold all citizens equal.

24. Dermot Ahern, Irish Minister for Justice, introducing his blasphemy law at an Oireachtas Justice Committee meeting, 2009, and referring to comments made about him personally: “They are blasphemous.” Deputy Pat Rabbitte replied: “Given the Minister’s self-image, it could very well be that we are blaspheming,” and Minister Ahern replied: “Deputy Rabbitte says that I am close to the baby Jesus, I am so pure.” So here we have an Irish Justice Minister joking about himself being blasphemed, at a parliamentary Justice Committee discussing his own blasphemy law, that could make his own jokes illegal.

25. As a bonus, Micheal Martin, Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs, opposing attempts by Islamic States to make defamation of religion a crime at UN level, 2009: “We believe that the concept of defamation of religion is not consistent with the promotion and protection of human rights. It can be used to justify arbitrary limitations on, or the denial of, freedom of expression. Indeed, Ireland considers that freedom of expression is a key and inherent element in the manifestation of freedom of thought and conscience and as such is complementary to freedom of religion or belief.” Just months after Minister Martin made this comment, his colleague Dermot Ahern introduced Ireland’s new blasphemy law.

26. Finally, here is the quote that has caused the Irish police to investigate Stephen Fry for blasphemy. Asked by Gay Byrne on RTE what he would say if he was confronted by God, Fry replied: “How dare you create a world in which there is such misery that is not our fault. It’s not right. It’s utterly, utterly evil. Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain?” Questioned on how he would react if he was locked outside the pearly gates, he responded: “I would say, ‘Bone cancer in children? What’s that about?’ Because the God who created this universe, if it was created by God, is quite clearly a maniac, utter maniac. Totally selfish. We have to spend our life on our knees thanking him? What kind of God would do that?””

Day 12 - More text to a god of text!

Day 12 09.09.2020 Wednesday

I went sleep around 0:30

I have a dream when everything is fading in the dark and I just walk to nowhere until I lay down and go to sleep, then I wake up.

I woke up in 6:54 or so

9:15 I think I just have PTSD and something with it ah and not autism... that's goo-.. wait...

I'm shaking...

9:38 I think I lived well... And I don't have PTSD, I'm actually fine, I'm just weird, and crazy, and stupid as people say...` When I'm trying to act like a normal human in fact I'm acting odd even more, so..

10:02 I will go to school almost right now, I feel bad. Did I notice that my mom screamed at me before she went to work? Now you know.

*notebook writings*

10:19 I'm in school I thought I were late

10:57 Phew... I just wrote test on biology lesson, I thought it would be different, at least I hope I'll get a grade 4 or something. (we have a 5 grade system, ok?).

11:28 Ah... it's so hot here and it's just for me? it's because I'm nervous? but...

11:34 Ah... there is a noise that sounds like I'm in a hair salon.. I meant.. Why there is blank timestamps sometimes? I got distracted and then I forgot. It's odd, because I don't have ADHD. I can focus, so huh... it's weird because I can remember a lot,but...

I don't have PTSD because in fact dreams when I'm alone in places that I hate are nice, because everything is slightly different and there is no one there, so this place where I lived before actually gives me a good feeling somehow.. so.... AHA! I'm just a crazy weirdo because I don't have this ?? (it?) (her?) (I wasn't able to figure out what I wrote there). I have various symptoms, but there is always something that makes me confused.

Fun fact: because on the internet I seem normal when I'm trying to act like a "normal" human.. Ah.. I'm weird... interesting... HMM... What if I don't have a panic attack? what if this is just how I feel for always... I can't have PTSD because I have had some symptoms since I was a child.

12:10 Ah. Someone walked in class and asked for two girls and one boy from the teacher specially class. And ah I didn't know what is going on and why I should do they said Кирилл go to them, he said, well how about Artem (me), Whole class start to laugh like haha he is a girl (but I'm :d) (edit: I forgot to notice that I don't sure how it happened, but people start laughing like that, but how it happend, I don't sure) and a lot of transphobic things (and transphobic jokes) then someone said what about Боротов (I don't know his name... Yeah I still don't know their names) that we have another boy in teacher class and the whole class starts to laugh even lougher. Кирилл said as a joke "Hey, you should go, you look more manly than us" (ah, lol, it's true). Everything was odd (feels like in fog, but...) , everything was bright and loud (too much sounds!), I had no Idea what was going on. Anyways I stayed in class (Also I had to explain. We have two classes that were splitted in one class so sometimes people call our class 11 "АУ" when normally there should be only one letter for an example 11 "А")

I wonder why people are so transphobic and homophobic because we (me and Кирилл) Immediadly claimed as gays (why?)... but hey gender is not orentation...

When something unplanned happens I really don't like that , sometimes, when it's also according to me I just get lost in many things. Example: people tell me to choose something, but it's insanely hard for me. I will get lost and lose the ability to speak or just will not be able to answer this, or when people speak directly to me I can get lost and also can't speak. I'm not shy when it's happening so Idk what is this.

(Like people from internet thinks, (they think I'm just shy) it's happening even in my family, but slightly lighter (I don't sure tbh, maybe the same) ( other relative is 100% not lighter))

13:18 So booooring! I'm in school and idk what to do. I don't have a working smartphone. Hah, I don't saw this symptom anywhere so idk is this normal, but very often, randomly everything feel very fast like two times, but in fact It's more seems like If I have two times more frames per second, sometimes there is some sort of a trail from moving objects and it's very often adding to that (fog? sensory overload? whatever is this?). It's not always come with that "fog" (Or maybe it comes, but with a lighter version, I don't sure), but very often, I really think that it's isn't normal. I have had this for my whole life and it doesn't get weaker but get more stronger (If compare to sounds and light and etc).

When I will be home... no I don't wanna check, I don't need a false diagnosis (self diagnose) anymore!

Also I still have no Idea what a diary should look like. I should write every step, everything I saw in detail or just continue like I'm doing now?

This day is more spontaneous and random and unplanned. I don't like it.

I'm acting like I can support conversation, but in fact I just talk about things that I know and when I run out of this I'll stop writing. Often it's happen after music stage and then that's it.. we can stop talking at all, I don't bad I just have no idea what to talk about and how to support dialogue, if before, after hello I can send random artist, song , or start tell new infom but now it will look more like:

?? - hi! ^^

Me - hi?

?? - how are you doing

Me - idk

?? - Oh..

Me - good morning

?? - good morning!^^

*the end*

and the day after we stopped talking for a week...

(there is rain outside.. ah...)

Very hard to do two things or more in the same moment (I wrote word moments so bad here! I'm shocked that I understand what is this)

I have no idea (btw it's 13:49) where to tell this, but My mom and her sister had race. Like my cousin learned to speak faster than me and learn how to read faster , and learn how to write faster, it's not because of age difference, we have just around 2 months difference. And I was slower on up to 10 months (or more) (or 8+ months if with right age). In someday it was like this: he can write and speak, but I barely can understand them (what people saying), I remember we drew something and mine thing 10 times worse and we wrote text there, but instead of text I had a bunch of zigzags and people laugh at me (I was very sad). Btw it's odd but I never had problems with moving and walking hah... My mom scream on my everyday because I can't learn anything I were crying. I Cried almost always and cried a lot until 2020 (I'm dead) (P.S don't worry I think it's going back). I always was too emotional (and it's too easy, ridiculously easy to make me cry or hurt me). Anyways I am learning things though I suffer, screaming and beating... It was very bad, at least I had less problems with mathematics. Also my dad packed his stuff so he can leave us anytime at all he made it a month ago with a huge scandal he even hit me, not hard, but also he hit my mom, she always have bruises from him... even now (I'm very rarely have bruises when my dad hit me, because he don't beat me like when I was very young) Btw I feel like always again (almost), I just don't need to think that this things are wrong and it's symptom of whatever, I need to stop to think like that because I'm dying, so I will slowly stop writing thoughts like this or just label them with "Is this normal? I don't know" with not actually finding answers to that question.

(???) -----

It's almost 14:45 and I'm going home soon

*end of notebook writings*

15:09 I'm home and ah... I think that sounds from that garage go louder and louder with every time I pass it by. You know... I also wear a warm jacket, because it's very cold for me while other people don't wear jackets at all. idk I think I have problems with temperatures, mainly with minus temperatures... Mainly with minus, because I can get sick very easily. It's warm... I just feel bad. Also the same thing in shower, warm is hot to me, so I need to use very hot water.. (I don't have to explain how I detected this... uhm) . Also for real it's should called not fog because umm, it very far from that, I know people calling different thing with fog, so It's better to call "What the fuck is happening". And I will never talk about this ever again... .Yeah it's a OK GO reference. now I want to listen to them . _ . but first at all.. Lemon Demon!

15:27 Message in reddit from /u/RedditCareResources... again... hmm... nice...

15:45 aaaah come one, my internet can't do anything again, I can't even watch videos in 144p

19:21 my mom scream on my father on the telephone

19:44 it's hot again for some reason

20:31 I'm still doing my homework, just want to say that I didn't really speak to anyone today (On the internet).

23:57 I finished writing my diary for today! Did I notice that my mom started saying that I'm very bad again today? It's odd... like I have more time in school than at home... anyways I'm going to upload this to tumblr and google drive, brush my teeth and whatever then go to sleep…

0:04 It’s stupid!
