Download or read book Under the Yoga Mat Google edition written by Els Coenen and published by Els Coenen. This book was released on with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let’s face and share the pain. Under the Yoga Mat lifts the veil on the underexposed dark side of the history of Yogi Bhajan’s Kundalini Yoga and his revered 3HO Healthy, Happy, Holy community. This is the first book presenting the multifaceted character and extent of the wrongdoings and the tactics used by its leadership to keep horrific abuse hidden for five decades. This meticulously researched non-fiction work delves deep into the tragedies that unfolded when Harbhajan, a 39-year-old Sikh-born Indian customs officer, arrived in Los Angeles in 1968, posing as a master of Kundalini Yoga. Through a thoughtful selection of testimonies, historical records, and expert insights, this work unravels the rise of Yogi Bhajan, as disillusioned American youth embraced him as the Eastern guru, they believed they needed. As his following grew rapidly, he proclaimed that his devotees were predestined to guide humanity in the transition from the Piscean to the Aquarian Age. Yet, behind the facade of spiritual enlightenment, Bhajan cunningly manipulated, controlled, exploited, and abused his followers and their children. He was involved in drug and arms smuggling and fraudulent businesses. Under the Yoga Mat challenges our perception of spiritual leaders, champions the resilience of survivors, and sparks a critical conversation about power, manipulation, and the darker side of spiritual movements.
Download or read book When Loving Your Kid is a Crime written by Riki Wilchins and published by Riverdale Avenue Books LLC. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2018, transgender teens in all 50 states could freely be prescribed hormones and blockers, legally change their names and pronouns , and play in gender-appropriate school sports. No one cared. But before the year was out, terror would come. The evangelical Christian right —enraged and vengeful from a long series of legal defeats—was seeking an issue to reignite its endless war on homosexuality. In just a few years, over 1,000 anti-trans bills would be introduced into state legislatures nationwide, as the names, pronouns, genders, and bodies of a few thousand children were transformed virtually overnight into an issue of state concern, and animus towards them an integral fiber in the evangelical Christian right’s tribal identity. Terrified parents of transgender children found themselves suddenly under investigation, threatened with charges of felony child abuse, in danger of imprisonment, and fearing the loss of their children to state foster care, began fleeing their home states. They were part of huge wave of internal political refugees unknown in the U.S. since the terrible days of chattel slavery, and in their wake they left behind their homes, careers, extended families, pensions, and life savings as they streamed across state lines in search of safety for their transgender children.
Download or read book Callin out the Gays written by Larkin Ellzey and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thirty-eight years, author Larkin Ellzey lived the quintessential Southern and American life in nearly every respect. Every respect but one: he is the last person on earth who wants to be gay, but he is, and there is nothing he can do to change it. As such, he wants to change the stigma that encompasses the natural occurrence of same-sex attraction. In Callin’ Out the Gays, he highlights the backward reality of homosexuality and demonstrates how everyone—gay, straight, and in between—has handled the concept in a devastatingly wrong way. Focusing on the societal and political issues facing homosexual people, he proposes a swift shift in strategy and a plan for rebranding. Employing thought-provoking rationale, Ellzey presents a plea to utilize all resources in putting forward a campaign to improve the public’s misguided perception of homosexuality. On the other side of the spectrum, he questions the motives of straight people actively opposed to gay people, breaks down the flawed religious argument, and encourages gay people who are faking straight to help homosexuals out with their numbers issue. With a little bit of humor, a dose of sarcasm, tons of pop culture and political references, and an age of the internet style, Callin’ Out the Gays offers Ellzey’s unique personal story in the form of a proposal to society for a refresher and a revived outlook—one focused on reasonability as well as accountability.

Hey, I'm Jamie, a 29-year-old trans guy from the UK. I've been transitioning for 12 years now after realizing I was trans (by accident!) at sixteen years old.

I want to welcome you to The T in LGBT where you can explore and learn about so many topics surrounding gender identity: realizing you're trans, starting hormones, considering surgery, and everything in between. Whether you're questioning your own identity and are looking for advice on certain stages of transition, or whether you're wanting to learn about the trans experience to support someone or understand allyship, I hope this book can be your one-stop guide to everything trans related. And don't just take my word for it either; this book is packed full of advice, tips, and the personal stories of a range of trans voices, because no one journey is the same.

Book excerpt: An Irish woman and her children sold into Caribbean slavery by Cromwell's regime. A TV series on the history of slavery. A historian working on the series finds the woman's story conveyed to him through the crucifying randomness of night. As the chronicling of her life becomes progressively more compelling to him, his reason seems held ransom by the dark. Against the background of the world history of slavery being presented, his marriage is in polite meltdown. He ignores the apparent parallels between his family life and the slave woman's till they accelerate to a collision point on the Island of Barbados. "We can all have irrational thoughts or behave irrationally at times. But so long as you know you're being irrational you are not yet insane". His colleague's advice works well in the daylight, he thought, but not when, at the fading of the light, his visitor's narrative again claims ownership of him.
