If Trump installs his regime, here are a few reminders.
If you know anyone trans, you do not.
If you know any immigrants, they've been here their whole lives.
If someone asks you about politics, you do not discuss politics.
Anything and everything that will be used to target
Am I going to be able to vote? Hopefully. If I don't get my mailer by end of day tomorrow, I'm calling out of work and driving the half day it takes to get to my old precinct bc my registration is still valid there due to this bs I'm dealing with in my new state. 6/6
Can we talk about how difficult it can be for people who have had name or gender changes to get the documentation you need to vote? I'm sitting here still waiting on my mail in ballot from my old state bc I moved to a new state, and the DDS won't give me my new ID... 1/?
I would have needed all of this documentation to get the passport anyway bc I was born in Alabama, and they don't allow you to amend your birth certificate for trans reasons. I started this process when I moved months ago, and the hoops I've had to jump through are insane. 5/?
Something that worries me: whenever I have to go anywhere with lots of people, I am absolutely astonished at how completely oblivious most people are to their surroundings.
I'm not talking about screens here; most people simply have the situational awareness of a Hereford cow.
Server at the brunch place asked my pronouns while handing over the check... while calling my nonbinary partner "ma'am". Then seemed confused when I said he/him???
@Knipps Same here, but with autism. Apparently, doctors were pushing my parents to get me tested for a while, and I was officially diagnosed at 7. I self diagnosed after learning about autism in depth for my education degree, and my mom dropped that bomb when I talked to her about it.
its very important to me to make the time to watch this nerd explain really boring home appliance technology for like half an hour every now and again.
'people get more conservative as they get older' doesn't apply to the younger generations because the truth is 'people get more conservative as they get richer' and that's not us babe.
The autistic urge to not register red flags as red flags because you’re so used to people misinterpreting your harmless behaviours and you don’t want to do that to anyone else, so you go *overboard* trying to find acceptable explanations for other people’s unacceptable behaviour.
