Everyone is confused and I see why. This isn't TRA or Christianity. It's something that people here must be fortunate enough not to have been exposed to: New Age Religion.

Practicioners tend to hold conservative beliefs, like any other religious people. They're generally anti-abortion, anti-homosexuality, and pro-gender roles. Instead of "God wants you to do things this way," their justification is "the energies will align if you do things this way."

They genuinely believe that homosexuals are "male souls in female bodies" and vice versa, but also often doubt that such a thing is possible, not because the souls thing is ridiculous, but because they are homophobic and believe that homosexuals need to embrace their "repressed masculine/feminine energy" (for males/females, respectively) and have a divine relationship with a member of the opposite sex and have "tantric sex" and breed with them. In order to align the "energies" with the "divine vibrations of the universe."

I have a family member like this.

thanks for the context - while still absolute BS, it sort of makes sense if it comes from the viewpoint you mention... It was very early morning in Australia when I first read it and it really fucked my mind!

No problem. The argument is essentially: "if gays are women's souls in men's bodies and only like men, why won't they fuck lesbians (men's souls in women's bodies)? the truth is that homosexuals are just fucked up and repressed and need to become heterosexual and be cured." Kind of a mindfuck, but similar to most religions.

Have a good rest of your day.

Lol what is it with all these lunatics who think people can be attracted to souls/identities. I can see if a human has breasts and a pussy or not, I sure as fuck can't see what "energy" their soul has or how they identify themselves in their head.

It's similar to "trans right activist" claims such as "a trans woman is a woman inside a man's body" and "a trans man is a man inside a woman's body". And gay people are the ones that are targeted, as if "trans right activists" stole conservative, religious, homophobic claims to push their agenda (and they did).
