Raised Lutheran, left the church at about 10. This was countered with my mamas intense interest in spirituality. Ghosts, spirits, souls recycling, mediums, clairvoyance etc etc etc I abandoned that around the same age.

I have had to learn better than a lot of my church teachings regarding women. Radical feminism has been by far the most enlightening tool regarding learning beyond the Christian teachings of women.

The belief in an essential self that exists without the body is a very religious sounding premise, but I put it down to a similar disconnect experiences by many anorexic/bulimic people. All the talk of inherent identity or “feeling like a woman/man” sounds like new age quasi religious babble.
