Please bear in mind that this forum is for posts by women about women. How men feel about the subjects discussed is off-topic.
Being perplexed by human interaction is par for the course when you are trans. We are taught from an early age to suppress our natural reactions,...
Quite apart the fact that from undetected corruption of that degree in the medical profession is unlikely, the regret rates among trans people are...
You drank the poisoned kool-aid, didn't you? The denial of medical care for trans kids is most emphatically not based on science. It is the...
You don't get to define rights. In a country where all goods and services must be purchased, a job is a basic necessity and therefore having one...
That is a good understanding! The consistency is the point.
Whatever purpose this thread may have served, it looks like it has outlived its usefulness. Be kind; be careful. Thread locked.
You are an optimist! I'll be very surprised if there is an election in four years. I hope I'm wrong, but the US is now a dictatorship.

The sex scandals in Tibetan Buddhism (Sogyal Rinpoche, Trungpa Rinpoche, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche) are one reason why I have always hesitated to...
Whether or not one should have compassion? The Buddhist answer is yes, always. The relationship between an event and a person's karma: How does...

The Buddha warned us not to try to work out the details of someone's karma. Not even our own, but certainly not someone else's. Firstly, we are...
The way I was taught was that, if your mind is wandering (monkey mind), close your eyes. If you are getting sleepy, open them. It's just to help...
This is a women's forum, and a thread about big boobs. So a man posting about small boobs is pretty off-topic. Please be mindful of staying on...
Some posts have been cleaned up. Please keep this thread on the topic of what animal you wish to be reincarnated as. Speculation on what animal...
If you become enlightened in this life, then you are no longer subject to involuntary rebirth. You can choose to come back if you see an...
Yes, that is a well-known analogy. The usual version is that there is a "yoke" (think one of those life-saving rings on boats) floating on the...
Are you suggesting that Buddhists don't want to be reborn as humans? If so, that is a mis-characterization. Buddhist are taught that the only...
Only the consequences of your previous actions. They wouldn't. They can assume that you are the rebirth of someone, but there is no telling of...
