Has anyone else found similar or conflicting information to this?
I want to know so I can demand my employer give us necessarily supplies to protect me and my coworkers. And would like to gain an accurate assessment of the risk I am putting myself through daily

Either they use my correct pronouns and new name or I will make every effort to move out and will not see them again, until they make trh changes. I meant it, and explained that literally everybody except them uses my name and correct pronouns; I also discussed how it was embarrassing out on public and made me feel disrespected they they wouldn't even try.
The next morning they put effort into the changes and we now have a wonderful relationship. They are even advocates to lgbtq rights and challenge people who are outwardly transphobic. I know this isn't the same for everyone but this is what worked for me. When I threatened to move they knew I would (I had moved across the country earlier in life).
We all put a lot of effort into communicating and rebuilding our relationships. I understood that this wasn't easy for them,, especially with a religious background and how they were raised. Prior to my ultimatum I had given them 6-8 years to make these changes, I felt like I had given then enough tiem to adjust. My family is now a huge support for me and although not easy it was worth it to be candid about my feelings and for all of us to communicate openly.

Since then I have trouble meditating because I'm afraid I'll be transported to the many dimensions or worlds or beings that I was introduced to while in the cult.
I'd love to get back into it but it's so mixed up in my lack of direction and trust in my own beliefs since that experience. I'm working with trauma informed therapists, the work is slow but I'm getting there.
Do any of you have experience in this tyeo of situation or how to meditate peacefully when I keep being afraid I'll get lost again in someone else's view of reality?
