i recently learnt that Anglican/Episcopalian nunneries in NA do accept trans women, so i *could* do what everyone on this instance says they want to do and become a religious sister. if i get tired of yearning after hypothetical-Philippians-coded-tgirl maybe that's what i'll do -

@hotwheels @georgia @Hyolobrika @VeganMemes that really is the most annoying part. i had about a year where i had a "no dairy products except i'm not checking those stupid ingredient lists for random trace milks" phase before i cut it out completely -

@Hyolobrika @georgia @VeganMemes what you "have" to do is just what your conscience guides you to do. what i would encourage is not to think of it in totalizing terms. just take a step toward what you suspect doing better means. it's all steps -

@Hyolobrika @VeganMemes it's pretty much universal. roosters and hens have a 50/50 split and having that many roosters is not useful to nearly all farmers. it would have to be a very inefficient farm which cares for its roosters -

@georgia @VeganMemes i didn't realize male milk calves were used for veal, but it was obvious once i realized i couldn't keep eating eggs that milk wasn't going to be acceptable to me either by those standards -

@VeganMemes this fact was what made me become vegan when i was vegetarian and really didn't want to be vegan. it made not eating flesh bc it kills the animal but being fime with animal products seem completely inconsistent -

@luce-anon @anathema i do think your third point is possible. there might have been known foreign religious cults which mandated castration for priests, probably less for "celibacy as a virtue" reasons than just as a symbol of devotion. so banning castrated men would have avoided admitting people defiled by other cults into the assembly, keeping Israel's cult religiously pure. but if that's true, i imagine it's true as a nice bonus to the sacrificial logic rather than the primary reason -

@luce-anon @anathema @jackemled i agree with (1) but i think your reasoning is off for (2) and probably (3). for instance, in the direct next verse it's talking about people born of illegitimate offspring, or even the tenth generation of their children. that's definitely not voluntary
the reasoning i've usually seen cited, and which i suspect is correct, is that it's a human equivalent of sacrifice laws. it's established in leviticus that sacrifices must be of male animals "without blemish," i.e. not castrated. the sacrifice must be of the highest quality in order to pay reverence to God, and a castrated animal was degraded. these offering laws had human parallels, such as in the principle of offering one's firstborn son to God established in Exodus, though ofc these would not be human sacrifices but living sacrifices where ppl were dedicated to God in some way (e.g. with the firstborn son bit, the consecration of the Levites was thought to fulfill it iirc, which i don't totally get since Levi was the third son, but whatever). to comprise the assembly of God out of an imperfect, castrated man would have been the equivalent of offering a castrated animal to God: an offensive impurity. for that reason i do not think whether it was voluntary or not mattered. it wouldn't have been seen as a moral failing to be castrated—since this is an issue of purity, not of offence—but Leviticus is full of cases which are moral but impure
i also don't think groups self-castrating at this time is really well accounted for. radical celibacy was an issue in the early church, but that's anachronistic. eunuchs would have come about as servants of monarchs or accidentally in this period -

xnfm has a regex for kkkatholic but, in line with this instance's pro-transfem bias, episcopalian remains untouched

you can deduce Nyx Land's subtle pro-Tsarist anti-Bolshevik bias from the fact that we have "KKKatholic" and "prote$$tant" regexes on xnfm, but we DO NOT have Ea$$tern Orthodo卐 -

@unmind @luce-anon i suspect i'm responsible more than u bc (1) i am more annoying, and (2) my "prote$$tant hagmoding" posts surely had a hand in THAT regex
