Everyone is a bot, including you

It’s stigmatized but if your country has any reasonable protections it shouldn’t actually be a problem. If you’re in doubt look them up and see what privacy and employment protections you have. Here in the US for example no employer has ever known I had adhd because I haven’t told them, and even if they knew it’s illegal to fire me for it without offering reasonable accommodations

Idk back when I was in college we fucked each other /s

Yeah they’re basically the American variant of the Church of England and are far more progressive than that implies

Fucking hell what assholes. Like, exactly on par with my experiences with cops, but still

I see less from old loved ones by not having it, but that’s ok, it makes catching up an activity. It’s fun to share the exciting things of the past year or two with my family and friends when I see them.

It’s the only place open after the bars close and the food is still remarkably cheap

And then you treat that lady right, you thank her for your hash browns and your 2am coffee, and you enjoy your evening because this was the best choice of the night

Weak. You sit there and know the waitress has stabbed someone before and if you’re pleasant to her you’ll be fine.

Fuck I miss waffle house. Used to go there after nights out all the time when I lived in their range

Can I get it angled to ensure they’re swept under? I don’t want to risk them hitting my 1’ of windshield

The Honda fit is the best urban car I’ve ever driven. Street parking? No problem. I can fit a bike in the back or put my rack on for two. It seats 5 just like an suv. Great milage. Sure I wish it was electric and had android auto but otherwise it’s amazing. Hell it handled a drive across the country stuffed completely full with stuff we didn’t want to risk in a shipping box

Exactly. If they were incentivised to encourage the best vehicle for the customer they’d be talking most people into a subcompact or minivan

I’m very pro simplifying, but you’ll take my freewheel from my cold dead legs. The only part of my bike that I struggle to repair is I still can’t true a wheel despite trying many times. Well also a broken frame

Yeah those trans spaces are more for someone like you than someone like me (post transition). And yeah it really was this wild shift of thinking of such spaces as so scary to them turning out to be so welcoming. And eventually you just find your place in fellowship with other trans people.

The other thing is that knowing other people at a similar stage to yourself is hugely important. Someone my age who’s just now transitioning is going to have a wildly different entire experience from me given I transitioned at 20 in college, but also it’s long over. I remember the sleepless nights, the hormonal fights, the hope, and the dread and all that stuff, but it’s in the same way I remember being 16. Both groups need people who are there and people who had been there recently to thrive.

But yeah, you’re at the exciting and scary stage. Try to enjoy what you can of it, eventually being trans just becomes your normal.

The report number is very important. Cops want to brush off stuff that involves protecting people in my experience, buy having evidence of all this is vital if he starts stalking or something like that. He’s unlikely to escalate directly to shooting, but he is at risk of escalation

Back then I suspect the average person was a lot less likely to piss someone off who knew their name and was willing to target them

You know that bishop telling clergy to get their affairs in order and that the time for resistance is now? Yeah I’m pretty sure that guy is a real Christian, at least based on the words attributed to Jesus.

Welcome sister. I understand how hard it is to step into the community and to actually embrace being one of us. May you find all the sisterhood and joy that I have.

Also I highly recommend that any trans people who are able should join some irl trans spaces, especially early on. It was so good for me back in the day and helped me so much. I fell out of them, most do, but they tend to be there mostly for folks early in transition

Yeah, that’s just chasers. Some aren’t violent, but the well is full on poisoned. This is explicitly the reason why the standard advice has long been to never go for chasers no matter how lonely you are. There are cis men who are just pretty damn into trans chicks but aren’t chasers, you can learn to tell the difference, but if you go where the chasers are then you’re probably going to find a lot of them. Chasers are typically only or primarily interested in sex, they see our bodies through a fetishized lens, many are ashamed of their attraction to us, and they’re disproportionately violent.
