People: hey you should think about this a bit and consider changing it to have a small positive impact

You: 🤬

Nobody’s forcing you to, nobody’s yelling at you, if you don’t do it it’s not a massive deal, you’re just yelling at clouds. Actually that’s not entirely true; I’m yelling at you because of your absurd overreaction to the mere idea of being a little thoughtful.

I don’t know if you got it from media, or you heard about this movement and for some reason immediately jumped to “they’re forcing us!”, but you really need to do some self reflection on why you got it so wrong and why you were so quick to do this outburst.

I see mostly people defending master starting arguments. I’ve never seen anyone pushing for main get even half as mad as some of the people coming up with a reason why it’s stupid. Like, holy shit guys, just don’t change it and move on, why be so mad about it?

Maybe you can tell them how they’re making you feel? It’s plausible they could be trying to accommodate you but in a way where they make bad assumptions rather than asking you. If so, maybe they’ll listen.

At the very least, even if asking burns the friendship even more, you’ll have some data to predict how someone might think in another/future friendship.

That doesn’t negate the good times. I remember when I struggled to make friends, and most of my “friends” weren’t really friends, but it was still better than nothing.

My type of person! Same!

tbf, most of my stuff also felt like not a huge deal at the time, I just had no point of reference to see how bad it really was. Now that I have a reference, I see that the gap between being fine and being very not fine is much smaller than I’d thought for most of my life, it’s not like it’s gatekept behind suffering Enough™. I guess the same sentiment goes for gender, autism, and a bunch of other things.

• Hated being topless, even while swimming
• Curious how having boobs would feel
• Drawn to lesbian relationships
• Never even tried to look good as a man
• Been taking antidepressants since a little after puberty
• Cried when a psychiatry form asked if I had thoughts of being the opposite gender
• Hated being juxtaposed to men
• Didn’t dream much about romance or sex because every time I thought about them they would just feel underwhelming and draining
• When I imagined myself following a similar life path to my dad or any other male figure, I felt like life wasn’t worth living if that was my future
• Wished I was born a different person, because I had no attachment to who I was and nothing to lose
• Disassociating in the mirror
• Hated being seen as a big man, I wanted to be seen as soft instead
• Just like, all the signs that who I presented as made me feel awful

My keys were fine, I’d used them on a previous system. My best guess is boot failed because GPU firmware wasn’t signed with my keys, only Microsoft’s keys. And of course, I can’t just CMOS clear, and I don’t have an iGPU. It’s crazy that an OS can brick my motherboard; I’d be a lot more forgiving if a BIOS option bricked it, but exposing a “brick me” option in efivars for any ring 0 software to press??

I enrolled custom keys and bricked my motherboard 🙃

Now I’m unsure as to whether this study would accept trans women or not

A part of me dies when I say the lie

That’s the same with most disabilities. For instance, blindness does have some intrinsic hardship, but then it also has the hardships that come from a society that assumes you have vision and does not accommodate you.

How dare he expose our plan for world domination!

Giving honest answers to questions like “How are you doing?” at the beginnings of conversations.

Socially unacceptable ideas and self perception. Already have brought them back, been transitioning for 2 years now even.

I still feel a little bad negotiating for my own needs, but I force myself to do it.

Aren’t they the same now?

I have public transit near me that’s “approximately every 15 minutes” but they just show up and leave whenever they like and I guess it averages to 15min(?). It’s awful.

Barber shop wanted my phone number. Took over a minute to convince them no.
