I have been following expectations less and less, it is really good for my quality of life and I recommend it personally.

I’m trans and homeless though so I never get hired and everyone treats me like a criminal by default anyway lol even though I’m clean and healthy they think I’m dirty and weird because of my recycled clothes and that I dress for the weather and comfort which doesn’t align with their gender expectations. I just treat it like a really good flea dip, everyone who treats me with kindness is more trustworthy.

I gave up on finding work in August when things didn’t work out with an amazing case manager. She could get anyone a job, the problem is the market was ignoring me outright. I got certified and tons of volunteer experience along the way but none of it was worth it or got me what I was looking for in life.

I’ve been learning how to live outside in the city and out in nature too. Learning to identify plants and forage. My partner is amazingly kind and supportive thankfully, although they often struggle too. It’s way more rewarding because these skills can carry me through the rest of my life and give me autonomy that no one can take away through outside pressure.

OP said “I tried to politely refuse”

Oh yeah man just keep making your most active political activist bloc homeless and poor by not addressing the harm Trump did. You’ll complain about us the whole time but never sit down, shut up, and solve the issue. The pipe IS leaking on social issues and it’s not YOUR economy only, cis cracker.

From a purely strategic standpoint the people like you in my family are seen as having chose the fascists over their queer family members, IJS. I don’t know how “bad” your family is, but I cut off my dad after he told me “n words are taking all the welfare” and I don’t talk to anyone who take his side on that issue. I’ve been called all manner of immature for that decision by people like you. But my dad is a racist chud, still is.

I mean they’re not entirely wrong but I hate that they think it takes blame off themselves. Like they were forced to do Trumps bidding or sign military contracts under the most evil military of all time. Nobody forced them at all though, they were fucking bidding for the contracts and gave half assed reasoning for why they MUST cooperate. Absolute henchmen goofball behavior

Negativity and Doomsday is when you remind everyone Hakeem and Chuck was just talking about handing these republicans their ass before they actually got the majority and now he’s all “nooo we can’t do revenge” because he always does that lol

And democrats get a neat little smug and a destroyed world for following it.

Oh go fuck yourself fascist.

Stop being vague, explain yourself and people won’t assume. Your post came off like democratic right wing trolling to me because you didn’t explain yourself. With how many people have taken this opportunity to push more harm on us, stop calling me aggressive for being skeptical. Fucking jerk

Because you DIDN’T say you disagree or think they shouldn’t of passed and that’s on people to do. I don’t know who you are and why you’re trying to frame trans rights issues as losing issues and could be doing it to harm us. Stop being vague. I and many others are rightfully assuming the worst of people. It’s for self protection.

What the fuck is OP talking about? I’m against implementing bans on trans people in sports because I’m not a weird fascist who loves hurting people just trying to enjoy a game. Am I supposed to be gleaming that OP is on my side? Because they come off exactly like every conservative in my life. You too.

You say enough said but your post is vague af. I assume the worst because you didn’t even bother to explain yourself.

Why attempt gaslighting on a public forum (I will never understand this) (It isn’t what the other poster said at all)

No one suggested just going out and commiting serial arson though so I guess I’m confused where you got that. Huh

Because it’s propaganda meant to frame anyone left of chuck schumer as violent terrorist while the democratic party will continue to outright murder people in the middle east? Like are we fucking gooning off here?

Equating intellectuals to… Landlords?

It reeks of desperation and red scare tactics lmao. Nooo leftists are just like MAGA! The same way MAGA is anti-intellectual, lefties are anti-landlord!!

You have to admit you’re posting bot propaganda meant for very stupid people, like c’mon

Been a protestor and activist for 10 years. I’ve been a medical advocate, a protestor, a community worker and volunteer, gotten a park built in my home town.

What do you mean “Arson whack a mole” though?

I also (unfortunately) went to school for business and the main thing these people are afraid is losing their assets because their assets are how they save money, and using shared assets is how they build their relationships with other companies.

In a more salable sense, it’s the same premise as say, standing in a line to prevent ICE goons from accessing an ICE facility. You’re doing the same thing (rendering their assets less useful).

I feel like you’re just dismissing the idea wholesale without actually considering it at all because you’re being an extreme elitist.

Ah the genocide must continue! And you must vote for it!!

Fuck you

Psychotic comment, what the actual fuck is wrong with you?

Just watched his speech and he didn’t even mention ICE. The way he answered questions was so fucked up.

Plenty of people disagree with plenty of things. I don’t care about some popularity contest, I care about what is factually morally correct. Trans people deserve to play sports in an environment that’s as fair as it is for anyone else.

IMO all the stakes should be lowered and everything should just be coed.

But since we can’t have nice things then yeah the science says that taking feminizing HRT evens the playing field between cis and trans women. I didn’t make the rules, cis people did, but now that those rules validate and grace trans people with respect for their gender cis folk want to change things. Not to actually be fair but to humiliate trans people. It’s so hurtful, cynical and transparently hateful
