This Morning Quickly Transformed into a Shit Show

I've been awake since about six this morning. Damn weather shifting too quickly to catch up. Thankfully I didn't end up having any muscle spasms, but I think it was a near thing.

I'm not doing well this morning, however. I just ended a friendship that I now realize in hindsight was a long time coming. My now Ex-Friend, one of My longtime best friends in the Pagan and Polytheist community for the past seventeen years revealed Himself as a major Trans phobe, and outed Me as BiGender in a space where I try to keep My identity on the download for safety reasons. Thankfully the moderator in said space caught it in time and took care of it, but I'm dealing with a bit of fall out over the whole thing.

I've been observing this now ex-friend for the past year now. Some things He said late last year caught My notice, as He said some terrible things towards Women, which was weird for Him. I watched Him head into Heathenry over a gradual period, focusing His devotion to Odin. I was wary of this, because said Ex-Friend has always been more on the Conservative siade of the Politics, but before now has always dwelled on the Moderate end of thing. Not anymore, apparently. I'm sad to say He drank the Trump Cool aid, and one of the things I saw on His persoanl Facebook wall before the situation happened this morning was a post letting Everyone know He is a proud new member of the Asatru Folk Assembly.

Here's a reminder that Folkism is the scum of the Earth and Folkish, and Terfs while I'm at it, aren't welcome on this blog, or any spaces that I uphold. You can all fuck off straight into the nearest natural disaster.

As for Myself, I'm not okay. I'm mostly safe, so don't worry about that, and thank the Gods that people in charge of certain spaces did Their job and took care of things, took care of Me, but I'm now grieving the loss of a friend that helped Me through My early years into Paganism and then Polytheism. A friend who saw Me married, helped Me get back onto My feet when My marrage fell apart and I moved back home. A friend whose youngest Children I got to watch grow up.

Ah, Nothing Like the Sweet Scent of Consequences for the Day

Here's a bit of an update for what happened yesterday. I'm still grieving the recent distruction of a friendship. I'm also still dealing with the fall out of what happened. I've been dealing with some shenanigans, as while the Moderators were able to obliterate the semi public face off, I've had to answer a few questions to a few People, and lost a couple of more friendships along the way. This whole thing reminds Me why I tend to stay on the low down about My identity, especially here in West Virginia.

However, this whole thing has blown up more into the face of the Ex-Friend. Enough People from the original community We belonged to has seen His overall atrocity unmasked and are calling Him out for it, asking questions, and generally banning and blocking Him. This whole thing has also spreadto a good portion of the online version of His local Pagan and Polytheist community, and a large portion of People in His area aren't cool with what He did, and what he believes in. I also heard His boss, from the Metaphysical shop He works at, has also found out about this and may or may not be rethinking the Guy's continued employment at said metaphysical shop.
