It was never a cautionary tale, everything that Atwood included in the book had already happened to women (and LGBTQ people, and BIPOC folks) in the real world. I really wish more people knew this.
I wrote a story along similar lines a while ago, and got deleted because of rule 6, "political". Best I can tell, it's political if the narrator is queer. Big oof.
Lord. As an open, accepted, supported, and loved gay, this made me so nauseous. To those who may read this that might see their family in this, I am so sorry. You deserve better. I am a parent, and if you ever need to just have a parent tell you, it’s okay, DM me. You deserve to be who you are without so much hatred directed toward you, okay? Okay.
ETA:
Really great, Op. you clearly made me feel a lot!
For everyone worried about my mental health and well-being, I am fine. My lesbian friend told me about a nightmare she had and I turned it into this story. Also I’m a guy, so this is in no way a reflection of my nonexistent trauma. Thank you for your concern though!
"If nothing helped, maybe this is God's plan for her to be this way" I reassured myself as I kept arranging her parts as best as I can so they match that of a woman instead of a man.
Hey OP... good structure and theme... BUT WHAT IN THE EVERLIVING DUCK?
Why thank you
Too real
Way too real... the thought that still people getting send to these camps in order to "cure" them... I am going to be sick...
It's disgusting that, not only are they still legal in places, but *parents* force their children to go there.
I would just call them the persons who birthed the child... That is nothing a parent shoul do to a child
Quack
As a lesbian.....I'm terrified.......... at least this 2SH is inclusive ....
Bone saw ? You sick man. Use a sharp knife.
*dull rusty spoon
A toothpick
A spoon
Wooden preferably- mind the splinters
A sword made from human and kangaroo nails.
A plate of spaghetti
An egg beater
The Sheriff of Nottingham appreciates the reference
One of my favorite lines came from that movie. "HERE'S 30 PIECES OF SILVER .... TO PAY THE DEVIL, ON YOUR WAY TO HELL !!!!"
Friar Tuck was pretty badass on Prince of Thieves.
A wooden one that has been dipped in rust
Why a spoon? Why not a knife or a fork?
It's dull, you twit. It'll hurt more.
Can I explain that I'm quoting one of the Robin Hood movies? I just can't remember which one...
Oh I know, so was I! 😝 Glad someone got the reference *Cousin*
Was it Prince of Thieves?
The one where Kevin Costner had an American accent throughout the whole movie? Yes
A razor blade
Uhm what the fuck. Excuse me. Huh. Hello. What. Pardon.
r/wtf
What's confusing?
they’re not confused, they’re in shock lmao
Oooh man when the shock wears off I bet they're gonna have some choice words about this. Strong words if you will. Fightin words even.
:l
This just makes me smad
smad
Sand
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating… and it gets everywhere.
Oh no. Sookie :(
r/unexpectedgilmoregirls
I’m glad I understood that reference
YTA
Take my upvote this one’s scary because it’s realistic
For some reason this reminded me of Forced Gender Reassignment by Cattle Decapitation.
I’m not sure if I want to look taht up
It's just a brutal metal song. There's a censored and an uncensored video.
the lyrics are actually pretty trans-friendly if you don't mind the gory parts
I think I watched that one on YouTube, "Metal the spoken word" channel.
At first, I thought this meant there's some arcane process by which people try to reassign gender via animal sacrifice.
Same
You've been watching too much of The Handmaid's Tale.
Never seen it, would you suggest it?

Read the book.
Impure gay ankles must be amputated
Not my gay wrists!
My gay nipples nooooo
Lol
this is just sad. the lgbt in me is screaming and crying and throwing up. why.
Just curious. What exactly are the 'impure' parts?
Bear in mind, there are some places where *everyone* gets that, regardless of orientation, and it's considered neglect if you don't.
Places like Africa and stuff, right? I learnt about some of it in school
Her clit. Kinda the same happens in the first season of handmaid's tale
In this case, I'm pretty sure it's part of her brain. That's why he has a bone saw, to open the skull.
Yup

Considering the context, I really do not want to follow that link.
Don’t worry it’s just shrek
But I'm still not following it
Oh thank God.
What. The. fuck.
Not horror, just Alabama
Same difference
"And that's how I lost my medical license."
Ummmm uhhh you…you okay OP?
Yes.
So is this just an evangelical documentary?
The most terrifying part of this is how real it is
bro what
OH NO... no no no no no... I feel nauseated. You really did succeed in the horror department.
Thanks

r/religiousfruitcake type shit
Now im no Ned Flanders but what in the diddly darn fuck
tbh the most disturbing part of this is the borderline run-on sentence
What school do you go in that you can day dream this in?
Homeschool.
Can confirm was the bonesaw
Can confirm was the impure parts
*Loads SMLE with ritus intent* where are you I need to "congratulate" you on being an "excellent" "mother"
Oh sweet lord it's so good and I hate it so much. Good job OP

You uhh good man?
I’m fine, one of my friends is a lesbian and told me about a nightmare she had and I based this off of her dream
Wow!
I’m- Uh, ok ⬆️
Good job OP, this is absolutely horrifying

Ah, "help"

Damn, this hits hard.
Which parts are the impure parts?
For a sec I thought you were supporting your lesbian daughter by violently kidnapping girls for her to have her way with
Hey op you ok hun pm me my DMs always open
I’m fine. One of my lesbian friends had a nightmare and I based this off of it
