WriterAlexis Hi Alexis, I see you're a rebel against authority... How old are you? I also join @Joh 's question why do you wear a chastity belt?
Introductions
WriterAlexis Abeka. (My real education consists of public library usage.)
Just read up on what that is, and it looks like it is a publisher of homeschooling and classroom materials that caters to science-denying fundamentalists. Since your religious and intellectual values are quite different and you do not appear to be a fan of your belt, I take it you are currently stuck in an overbearing family situation. Would be interesting whether you are looking for an escape or willing to stay out of love for other family members. Or maybe it is economic pressures keeping you in line? Your dedication to aunthood suggests that you are trying to counterbalance the effects your parents' religious values might have on the future of their grandchildren.
I would say you are definitely fighting for a good cause here, but it would be interesting to hear about the battles, rather than just the fronts and a few melees.
why you wear it
Maternal expectation, terrible behavioral precedence by my elder sister (still gotta love her though,) and the strategic exchange of temporary physical autonomy for long-term economic and social opportunity.
your feelings about it
Intense.
how much control you have about wearing it
Preciously limited compared to my demands. (But not wholly absent.)
Reluctant wearer and feminist sounds like an explosive combination.
Not half as explosive as the largest country in the so-called free world having constitutional provisions against denying "any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws," and yet corporations can have policies that systematically underhire, underpay and underpromote half the population, a third of the states can have laws mandating forced involuntary incubatorhood, and every single one of us can suffer a hundred microaggressions daily that serve no purpose other than the further marginalization of our rights and freedoms.
Those same old, dead, white men also wrote "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
I'm just throwing 2+2 together, here.
suggests you are female
So they tell me.
how old are you?
Old enough to know better, and young enough to not give a damn.
Why you are filled with psychiatric medicines?
Because when I'm not, my brain starts to get real "playful" with the idea of jumping off bridges and so forth.
WriterAlexis So they tell me.
Do you feel like it or do you prefer to be something else?
WriterAlexis Old enough to know better, and young enough to not give a damn.
Are you of age in your country?
WriterAlexis Because when I'm not, my brain starts to get real "playful" with the idea of jumping off bridges and so forth.
Does your brain do it as well if the external circumstances were ideal for you?
WriterAlexis Maternal expectation, terrible behavioral precedence by my elder sister (still gotta love her though,) and the strategic exchange of temporary physical autonomy for long-term economic and social opportunity.
Figured about as much. Does your elder sister experience the consequences of her actions as well? And how are the two of you feeling about that? Do you think the response is proportionate to the event that prompted it?
And I am glad to hear that you can be confident in your current arrangement being temporary. May I inquire how temporary you are talking?
WriterAlexis Not half as explosive as ...
Of course politics can get quite frustrating, especially in a place as polarized as your home. This forum sorta segregates political discussions behind an opt-in role, one I have chosen not to get myself since before that happened, there were some views being shared here that threatened my composure. If you want, I am open to that sort of discussion on off-platform chat if you are ever interested in joining the Discord server, and I think there are many things we can agree upon even if I am a (relatively young and living) white male and our views may not be 100% identical for this and other reasons.
My sister in law is x LDS and I have heard from her how difficult that can be to navigate. I hope you have an easier time than she did sorting through that.
My condolences to her. I know some people on the outside. End results are regional specific. If you get out of their stranglehold locations, it boils down to a polite annual visit from 2 cycle-weilding Jesus reps who happen to know your name. They are easy enough to dispatch.
Family is another matter. Which is why I am applying every stratagem in the interim that will increase my long-term prospects.
I see you're a rebel against authority
I prefer to think of myself as a rebel against stupidity.

Yes.
This is the last place I would have expected to see a communist(?), haha
Do you feel like it or do you prefer to be something else?
Gender is a social construct.
Does your brain do it as well if the external circumstances were ideal for you?
We live on Earth. Nobody's external circumstances are ideal.
Does your elder sister experience the consequences of her actions as well?
Yes, but I am just going say that she is absolutely receiving Golden Child treatment on Mom's part, and I get some epic Middle Child treatment from Dad. That is blatant fact. Her transgressive nature is orders of magnitude more self-destructive than mine. I'm just the firebrand.
And I am glad to hear that you can be confident in your current arrangement being temporary.
We will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter, and we will not fail. Peace and Freedom will prevail. Thank you, and God Bless America.
May I inquire how temporary you are talking?
Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.
I think there are many things we can agree upon even if I am a (relatively young and living) white male
Allies are allies. Big tent philosophy. I call it Will & Grace phenomenon. LGBTQIA+ never would have gotten married unless some straights hopped on the bus. We're going to need some male feminists onboard too.
expected to see a communist(?)
I've been describing them as "Marxist tendencies" lately.
It would hardly be responsible to replace an authoritative oligarchy with a more authoritative kleptocracy.

WriterAlexis Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.
I get that. But you seem to be the sort of person that gives answers so vague, they raise new questions faster than they settle old ones. I take it you value privacy and maybe even enjoy being a mysterious figure a little? Sorry, this name is already taken.
But I guess the key curiosity behind my question is: do you have a clear perspective and an actionable plan to realize the "temporary" bit, or is it just hope and determination talking?
WriterAlexis Allies are allies. Big tent philosophy. I call it Will & Grace phenomenon. LGBTQIA+ never would have gotten married unless some straights hopped on the bus. We're going to need some male feminists onboard too.
I gladly stand by the feminist cause as an ally when it comes to eliminating double standards on gender, and I stand against those who want to instrumentalize it as a vessel for misandry and transphobia.
By the way, would you consider yourself GSRM yourself or did you bring that up primarily as an example of a civil rights movement that benefitted from allies?
Please discuss non-introduction stuff in other topics
do you have a clear perspective and an actionable plan or is it just hope and determination talking?
Probably the latter. It ain't much. But it's enough.
would you consider yourself GSRM
Ya know, I think human sexuality is fluid enough that everybody actually is, even if they are too scared, unwilling, or unable to admit that to be the case.
WriterAlexis Gender is a social construct.
Read the rules and feel yourself confortable. Obviously I am the opposite in every one of your ideas, but as far as you would be respectful here we do not apply censorship, however use other threads for it, not the introduction one.
Diana27 But caught masturbating, so chastity belt went on 24/7, 5 years now.
sorry about that, it's hard being in the belt 24/7
Diana27 and since my engagement I wear a chastity bra.
why? who has the keys to the bra?
welcome to the forum, because i have read some things in other threads, may i ask which sister also wears a belt? the younger one or the older one?
