Title: Hello! I'm Eris!
Post by: erisrenee on April 27, 2015, 06:03:23 PM
Hey everyone, I'm Eris! I've known about this site for a while, but I'm just joining now. I've come over here from the ->-bleeped-<- trans community, to see if it's gotten better since I was last here years ago!

A little background on me: I'm a 25 year old trans woman from Long Island. I started HRT on June 5, 2014, and have been "full time" since August 2014 (no exact date). I love chatting with and helping other trans people, whether non-binary, men, or women. Reading about other experiences and helping other people is what I'm all about.

Anyway, I can't wait to get to know y'all better!

Awesome! Another trans woman named Eris!

I'm really good today. The company I work for is shutting down soon, but I've got a bunch of interviews this week and I'm looking forward to them! I'm also coming down from an AMAZING weekend with my girlfriend, so I'm a bit giddy.  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for asking!

It's a really unique name where is it from?

Also glad everything is going good.

It's a reference to a Greek goddess, who was the subject of a really cool myth called the Judgement of Paris. She's also the primary deity of Discordianism.

My middle name is Renée, which was picked by my mom. It has a double meaning of being a reference to Renée Richards, and being French for 'reborn'.

So sometimes I like to joke that I'm the Goddess Eris, reborn!

Lol nice. She sounds like a bad ass if she's the goddess of discordianism.  :D

Wow, I just sat there and listened to that entire video/song while filing my nails.

Welcome aboard Eris!

Do you have any pagan roots/history/beliefs/upbringing?  I ask because of your name choice, or perhaps it was chosen for it's obvious reasons alone, with no other connections to your spiritual life.  :)  Either way, congrats and best of luck to you in this life!

I researched a lot of religions when I left the Catholic church as a teenager. Discordianism stuck, as a concept, but overall I'm not spiritual.


Thanks :)

Sweetie and I used to lead a Wiccan coven. One year, at Yule, one of our coven mates showed up with a Santa hat and a sack with gifts for all of us. He looked at me and said, "guess what I got for you!"

I replied, "The Principia Discordia".

His jaw dropped as he pulled it out of the bag. :D

Chaos in action!

Welcome Eris.  It seems you will have some very fun perspectives to share.  Also a catholic church survivor, Humanism is the best philosophical guide I have found.
