@CareyBrian I love religion! I don't love being forced into any belief - whether that is relating to Catholicism, Islam, Buddhism, Scientology or Gender Identity. I don't see religion in binary terms of good or bad. Sex, on the other hand, is binary - male and female.

@ColetteColfer That's the obvious implication and it's strange that you're pretending otherwise.

I want to tell everyone what they took from us, what irreversible really means, and what that reality looks like for us. No one told me any of what I’m going to tell you now. 🧵

It is very strange to publish an article on the gender dynamics of mass shooters and not mention that the two "female" shooters used as flagship examples here were biologically male. Males commit more than 90% of violent crimes.

@ColetteColfer I'm surprised that a lecturer in religious studies would use comparisons with religion as if that's supposed to be a bad thing.

Finished listening to Martin Shaw’s new book: Liturgies of the Wild. Was excellent. One quote I’m meditating on: “No more jabbing our pen in our wound and calling it art. In myth, any voyage into the underworld involves you bringing back beauty. If there’s no beauty, no gift, then you’ve actually not re-emerged, no matter how much you claim that you have.” If we cannot find the beauty and the gift in the suffering, then we remain unchanged, and our soul remains small.
