When referring to garment wearing, (a traditional undergarment that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints receive when they do ceremony in the temple) it is nobody’s business what you wear underneath your clothes. If your family makes comments or if they are judging you, let them judge you. You cannot control their thoughts. However, you can create boundaries. Some responses you can say in return to questions about garments: ✨“I’m not interested in a discussion about my underclothes with you. Please don’t ask me again." ✨“That’s a personal decision and I’m not interested in discussing it with you." ✨“I’d rather not have a conversation about my underwear. Let’s not talk about it again." How do you respond when someone asks you a personal question? #drjuliehanks #lds #mormon #loveislove #garments #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #judgmentculture #purityculture #modestyculture #feminist #feminism #boundaries
Q: How do I move away from equating one's commitment to wearing LDS garments with one’s commitment to God? A: It is not anyone’s place to judge someone else’s commitment. It’s your place to judge your own commitment and how you manifest your own commitment. Jesus taught us to not judge other people! To be forgiving. To be merciful. Remember the mote & the beam? If I’m judging you and your commitment, the greatest sin is on me for judging. It’s not our place to judge anyone else’s commitment based on appearance or clothing. It’s our job to focus on ourselves and our expression of commitment. #drjuliehanks #motherhoodisarelationship™️ #youbelonghere #lds #mormon #loveislove #partnershipoverpatriarchy™️ #judgmentculture #latterdaysaints #ldsculture #feminism #youngwomen
We change judgment culture by taking responsibility for ourselves and our judgmental thoughts. We are responsible for our own journey and not for anyone else’s. What do you have to add to this important conversation? #judgmentculture #judgment #drjuliehanks #lds #latterdaysaints #mormon
. . . Sometimes you just have to let people judge you. Sometimes you just have to let them misunderstand you. Let them. Let them gossip about you. What people think of you is not your business. Their opinions do not pay your bills. Stay kind. Stay the course. No matter what they do or say…don’t doubt your worth. Let them hate. It says more about them, than you.
